Perfect for a Victoria getaway.
Perfect location for a getaway in Victoria. Right next door to the museum, across the street from Beacon Hill Park, and a block away from parliament. 10 minute stroll down to the seawall and then up to the wonderful shops. Loved that it had a full kitchen, too! Will definitely stay here again!

The good news is that the room was recently refurbished, with all new flooring and furniture. It was roomy with a kitchenette and the water pressure in the shower was great. And it was not too expensive compared to other nearby properties. It is also in a great location - close to downtown but not so close the it would be noisy at closing time. The only negatives are that I was on the third floor and it is a walk up; the hallway carpets are a little tired; and the water in the shower oscillated in temperature just a bit. Overall would go back and would recommend.

Everything is excellent: location, price and service. The beds were not soft, so the comfort was not 100%. It is a nice hotel close to everything.
