Excellent boutique hotel, very clean and comfortable. Very personable and helpful staff. Great location, in a quiet neighborhood, but less than 10 minute walk to the Inner Harbor, the starting point for most areas of interest in downtown Victoria. And a walk in the opposite direction of the Inner Harbor leads to a nice waterfront walk to Fisherman’s Wharf. We would have no hesitation in returning to this little gem, in a future trip.

The absence of air conditioning wasn't a significant drawback for us, given that the time of year and the weather conditions were quite favorable. The pleasant temperatures made our stay comfortable, allowing us to enjoy our time without the need for cooling. However, we recognized that if we had visited during the hotter months, we would likely have chosen a different hotel that offered air conditioning for added comfort. On a positive note, the food at the hotel was exceptionally desirable, featuring a variety of delicious options that catered to different tastes. Each meal was a delightful experience, enhancing our overall stay. Additionally, the atmosphere of the hotel was incredibly inviting, creating a warm and welcoming environment that made us feel right at home. The combination of great food and a fantastic ambiance truly made our visit enjoyable, despite the lack of air conditioning.
