What do you say about a hotel that has two young buck deer wandering the grounds nibbling on the flowers and vegetation at 8 PM. Tough to say anything bad about the place at all. Yeah it’s a little dated, but it’s only a few blocks from the downtown area of Victoria.
Couldn’t help but notice that there were a significant number of international visitors while enjoying the excellent breakfast buffet. Having travelled a bit international travellers staying in your establishment means you’re doing a lot right.
We travel within BC quite a bit and lean towards hotels that have a breakfast offering, I mean it just makes sense if you’re travelling alone or with family. Very happy to report that this is one of the best buffet breakfasts we have enjoyed for a number of years.
The room was clean, well equipped, and dated as well. The bathroom was clean, had all the amenities needed, including a great shower with copious amounts of hot water.
Are there flashier places a few minutes away… probably. If you’re looking for a family friendly and economical place close to everything that checks all the boxes, you can’t go wrong here. We’ll stay again for the breakfast itself.
