Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The staff looked pleasant and ready to serve the guests.We made a lot of food comfortable in the kitchen and ate it. All the dishes were well-equipped and clean. The only regret was that there was a lot of dust on the microwave. This place is easy to see, but I don't know why it wasn't cleaned. The parking lot was a fee, but it was affordable, so there was no burden and it was convenient to use. I will definitely stay here if I visit Victoria again next time. My day here was very comfortable and comfortable.

Really large room with a kitchenette. The beds were comfortable and the place was spotless! The big plus was it’s literally across the street from the Beacon Hill Park! We had such a great time walking through that beautiful park. We will definitely stay at the Helm’s Inn again when we’re in Victoria.
