Pro tip. Parking is a nightmare on site with extremely tight spaces! Park in the City of Victoria public parking underneath the library. It’s free after 8 pm and if you take a photo of your stall, you can use the City of Victoria parking app and pay for parking from the comfort of your hotel room starting at 8 am. The max for parking in that lot is $12.50 per day but there are no in and out privileges. Parking is very expensive in the city.

The location is very convenient and the room was quite spacious, but the hotel definitely needs a renovation. Our bathroom had a moldy smell, and the walls, curtains, and linens were stained. There was no AC in the room — only a fan. The parking lot was full when we arrived, so we had to park a block away. The staff were kind and helpful, though. If you’re not too picky, it’s still a decent option for staying in downtown Victoria.

Hotel in a prime location for seeing all the sights of downtown Victoria, very convenient! Staff were wonderful and the room was nice and clean. Only negative was there was no air conditioning in the room and it happened to be a pretty warm week, so the room was pretty hot. Windows do open and there was a desk fan in the room, so the cooler night time breeze did offer some relief.

Rooms was clean and well kept and everything in the room worked well. There is quite limited parking and the stalls are very very small. I had a rental that was a small SUV and it could not fit in the stalls but luckily there was a spot at the lobby that was available. There is no AC in the rooms with isn't the best in summer. On Friday the weather was 27*C and when we arrived our room was also this temperature. The rest of the stay was milder weather and the room cooled to about 25*C which was still warm but manageable with fans. Overall was a good stay given that this was the cheapest hotel on the market at the time.

Staff checked us in the room already occupied with someone else, and they changed us into another room but second room had terrible smell. Then the third room seemed okay but at 6am we could hear phone alarm and I even thought that was coming from our main room and one of us left the phone in the main room with alarms on. Apparently, that was coming from the other side of the wall which is next room. Super thin walls!!! Overall, i wouldn‘t recommend this hotel even if u‘re on a budget!

We stayed for one night and paid $232, which felt quite expensive considering there was no complimentary breakfast or free parking. Parking in the underground lot costs an additional $15, which was surprising since this was the first hotel I’ve stayed at that charged for underground parking.

The building appears quite old, and I was also surprised to find only a small fan in the room instead of proper air conditioning. Overall, the stay was okay, but I expected more amenities and comfort for the price we paid.

Good:

- Relatively affordable for Victoria hotels
- 24/7, most things are easy (parking, etc.)

Bad:
- NO AIR CONDITIONER! It got pretty hot during our stay. Maybe it’s not a norm in Victoria but you’d expect something like an HVAC for the price of the room…
- No safe
- No breakfast (they only have like 10% off at Cora or something…)
- Don’t count on the pool or gym.

we were there for 4 nights and we're e trembling uncomfortable. When we arrived the clerk said it was warm in the room but they put a fan by the window. I didn't think too much about that until we got to the room and realized the two little windows were open about 8\" and the fan was trying to blow some cool air inside. so hot and still in the room. and no a/c. The garage cost extra and the spots were all for very small cars. we asked for the room to be cleaned up and garbage to be removed etc. one day and they did that but never even made the beds or dusted the furniture. the inside of my nightstand drawer was very messy with.stains. don't stay there or you will be disappointed

First off, the hotel had no air conditioning. I’ve genuinely never stayed at a hotel without AC, so it never even crossed my mind to verify that before booking. Unfortunately, that became a major issue because Victoria was quite hot during our stay. To make matters worse, the windows had no screens or safety protection. If you’re traveling with a child, opening them feels unsafe, and leaving them open also invites bugs into the room.

Cleanliness was mediocre at best. The sheets appeared clean, but the bathroom was extremely dated, and both the floors and walls looked grimy throughout the property. The facilities were equally disappointing. The entire hotel operated with only one elevator, which was constantly overcrowded and painfully slow. The “gym” could barely qualify as one — tiny, no air conditioning, and only a couple pieces of equipment.

I don’t normally use hotel pools, but if my child had been old enough to swim, I would not have felt comfortable letting them use this one. The pool area looked just as dirty as the bathrooms, if not worse.

For the price, this experience was completely unacceptable. We paid over $400 CAD per night with taxes and booked two weeks in advance, so this was far from a budget stay. On top of everything else, there wasn’t even a vending machine available for water, let alone snacks or food.

I will absolutely not be returning. I hope this review helps future travelers make a more informed decision.

This is a decent, inexpensive hotel close to the harbor, so that’s a plus. Staff at front desk were very pleasant and helpful. Another plus.

However, I was really disappointed with the “gym.” The online photo makes it look bigger than what it actually is; essentially a closet with a bike, one bench and a rack of dumbbells, and with a very low ceiling. Literally only two people max can be in there at a time.

Also, keeping the in-room coffee bar stocked was a challenge. I had to ask for refills. The room gets made up on day 3, and I’m fine with that, but please don’t leave a large bottle of toilet cleaner on the sink.
