Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The staff were kind, friendly, and helpful, but unfortunately, the room was not clean. There was visible debris on the walls, and the space felt quite worn. The location, however, was convenient — close to restaurants, grocery stores, and right along the main bus line to downtown Victoria. During our stay, there were both jockey teams and wedding guests at the hotel, and the walls were thin enough that we could hear conversations late at night and early in the morning.

First night, second night. Our breakfast options were okay, found the food combinations were challenging. The staff who served us were touchy and at times rude. By the third night the following morning breakfast we found was a different menu, enjoyable and different staff was much nicer and kinder. Room itself was clean, but we continually had to ask for more toilet paper as only the one on the roll was provided. Had to finally ask them to please put 2 rolls in our room!

Everything was very smooth from checking in until the next day just before we check out. The room service was already knocking on the door and entered our room around 930am. Check out is before 11am. First time we’ve ever experienced this in any hotel.
