The location for this hotel is perfect for those wanting to walk the downtown core and see the main tourist attractions. The parking is less convenient, requiring you to park two blocks away and pay $15/day without in/out privileges - however, the lot is patrolled by security and there is drop off in front of the lobby. It was very clean and our unit had a kitchenette and loft bedroom - which would be great for families or people staying longer term. However, the amount of street noise and lack of proper window coverings (wooden slat blinds and no coverings on the bedroom skylight), made it the worst sleep I’ve had in a hotel. We faced Pandora Ave, and it’s a main bus route and where the garbage trucks go. There is car honking and hydraulic noise from 5-6am onwards and it doesn’t stop. If you get up early and don’t care about bright morning light, it might be tolerable - but we would only stay here again if we faced a different direction and brought eye coverings. It’s a shame because the bed was quite comfortable and the bedding was really nice.

Parking is not easy in this area, staff are great but if you have lots of stuff to bring in, the door has footsteps so its not easy to use the trolley. Rooms are spacious and price is great.

This is a really cute property, conveniently located within walking distance to so many things. The hotel is clean, staff have been very helpful and friendly. We had a two bedroom condo with a full kitchen. It was connected to a cute courtyard, it was nice to have that outdoor space.

Short trip to Victoria

George at the front desk was a star. Very friendly and helpful. It was very warm upstairs in the apartment and was difficult to cool down. I do realize that it was unusually warm in Victoria.

The room condition was a bit worse than expected, hair dryer didn't work ( but staffs provided us with another one) , all the furnitures seem to have long history with low quality.

Walking distance from everywhere

The connected restaurant was very good. We could walk everywhere we needed to go from the hotel. One thing to consider...if you're of an age where you get up several times in the night, a loft room means 17 stairs between you and the bathroom. The bed in the loft was comfortable. The sofa bed downstairs was, well, a sofa bed. Nice to have access to a kitchen in the room!

Gem

Check in was seamless and they stored our baggage when we arrived early. The room was large and very clean with a full kitchen. The hotel was located close to all the action at the harbor without being right in the high foot and car traffic zone. Had a beer in the pub and service and prices were great. We will definitely stay again.

This was a great location (lots of dining options in all directions!) and the staff was friendly and helpful (even before I checked in, they were responsive to texts and emails). Given the location, I was expecting street noise, so that did not bother me. But if you need super quiet environment, this is not for you. There was no parking, so we had the park at a parkade a block away. It was not the most convenient, but was not too bad since it is free from 8 pm to 8 am and on Sundays and holidays. We have a 2 BR suite with 2 levels. It was spacious for the two of us and we were able to store our bikes in the room. But the decor is dated without the “heritage charm”… it looked reminded me of dated dorm room decor. Everything was functional though. It has a full kitchen which was a bonus. The unit is quite warm in the evening, especially upstairs where the bedrooms are. We opened the skylight and put 2 fans in the bedroom and it helped a bit. I would suggest placing some quieter fans in the rooms. The bed was also a bit soft. All in all, despite the shortcomings, I would recommend this mainly for the location. It is right by the Galloping Goose Trail, so it was super convenient to bike from the hotel to explore the area.

We stayed at one of the 2 bedroom suites and it was perfect for our family of 5. Very spacious. Amazing to have a full kitchen. We loved the location of the hotel as well. One downside was not being able to park close by. We parked at the Yates parkade, which was a 5 minute walk - not too bad. We would absolutely stay here again.
