“This boutique hotel occupies a prime spot downtown, convenient for exploring Victoria's attractions, though the immediate surroundings may surprise some visitors. The recently renovated building maintains a clean interior with attentive service, and guests appreciate the proximity to dining and the harbor. While on-site parking is absent and street noise can be a factor, the location and accommodating staff make it a worthwhile option.”
