This hotel is right next to the parliament building in dtwn Victoria and location is excellent. Just 10 mins walk to the center of everything. Hotel is lovely and the staff are all very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was included in our stay and it was wonderful. Lots of food options and enough tables for guests. Our hotel room was clean and spacious and had a small kitchen area. We were very pleased with our stay and would recommend it.
