Perfect location with very affordable surface parking steps from the front door. Building has lots of character (and I mean that on a good way!) We had a large, comfortable room w/ 2Q sofabed, at a very reasonable rate. Location location, location! Easily walkable from ferry. Walkable to many, many of our destinations. (National Car Rental was affordable, good to work with, and is literally across the street.) We had a great breakfast at Crust, a great bakery/coffee shop 2 blocks away. They also have an incredible liquor store attached. I considered other hotels nearby that were similarly priced, or a little less. When I drove by them, I was very happy with my choice. 1½ days of packed adventure left us happy with our quick visit, and wanting to come back again.

Charming Budget Stay in Victoria

This renovated, budget-friendly hotel in Victoria offers a cozy, if modest, experience. I appreciated the early check-in despite a stated 4 PM time—an ideal perk after a long journey. Note that amenities are limited, however everything is within walking distance around the hotel. The property is small with only one elevator. Overall, it’s a good value option, but at higher rates I’d opt for a hotel with more comprehensive services.

Happy Surprise

How to bumpy check in which I made worse with a bad attitude. And even though I was in the wrong the staff were very friendly super helpful and quite kind. The room was amazing, quite a surprise.
