Perfect location, just 15 minutes from Swartz Bay and downtown Victoria, away from the crowds. The room was spacious, clean, and exceeded expectations for a three-star hotel. The bed was firm, pillow soft, and the sitting area was a nice touch. Friendly staff, easy check-in/out, and free parking make this place a winner. I’ll definitely stay here again!

This property was overpriced, in my opinion. Compared to other Holiday Inn properties we have visited in Ottawa, Bellingham, Seattle, and Southampton, UK, this property was rather spartan. One office chair to sit on! The door into the apartment did not close easily and the security lock came off in my hands. I am not sure that we will stay here again.
