Perfect stay
Room was exactly as in photos. Well equipped, spacious and clean. Stayed in studio room on 9th floor, so also had water views. Location was great - easy walking distance to all main attractions in Victoria. Would definitely recommend.

Great Hotel, Needs Black Out Curtains
Overall Great Hotel, Location is perfect, close to the port, walking distance to all downtown attractions. Downside is that Hotel needs black out curtains, when the sun, comes out it is so bright even with the blinds closed. King size bed would have been better than a queen sizes. The staff was excellent. Rooms could have better climate control. Right amount of space

Nice stay
My husband and I stayed for one night at this hotel in a studio room. It was our second time staying here, As a silver member I received free parking and what should have been 2 free non-alcoholic drinks however the coffee bar was not open on our stay (closed Mondays ) . The room was clean and well appointed. There was a digital concierge which I used to try to have more towels brought up to the room. No one responded. As an aside to the hotels that only provide 2 bath towels per room, most women require one for their hair and don’t want to use a wet towel for that purpose. How about including 2 towels per guest. The only other comment would be the low water pressure making showering a slow process . The area is fantastic, quiet but within walking distances to most sightseeing locations.
