The Hotel is in a great location for travellers using Victoria airport, unfortunately that means some rooms are very loud due to proximity to the highway. The hotel itself is great - clean, modern, fairly decent breakfast and friendly staff.

Steven was awesome for our check in and Chris was wonderful for checking out. The room itself was spartan. It had the normal amenities one would expect, and the bed was comfy. Breakfast was good enough with a solid selection of hot or cold options.

A cozy older hotel that was clean, quiet and comfortable. The wing back chairs were a treat to sit in, as most hotels have uncomfortable cheap seating in the room if there is any at all. I felt the price was a bit much, but it was close to Buchart Gardens where we were headed.
