Great place in downtown Victoria. Close to shopping, food, pubs, etc. Did not know our room would be directly above a nightclub... we were just told it would be a bit noisy with the music, so if you're told that, make sure to ask. The A/C worked well, limited options on the TV, but it had YouTube. Overall, it was a great place to stay for a couple of days while adventuring around!

Our room was fine but the shower/bathtub had lots of mildew/mold which looked like it could have been bleached. The tile grout was dirty & again looked like it could have been taken care of with bleach & scrubbing. The kitchen area definitely needs some updating…super old microwave & stove.
