Christmas season in Victoria
Our room was exactly what we needed for a one night stay in Victoria. Clean, comfortable and well equipped. Also fun to walk around the harbour to for dinner and see the Christmas lights

6 Nov 2024
The stay was very good. The only difficulty was we were given a nice room with the view we preferred. However while we left to wait for check in time, the room was no longer available (no reasonable explanation as to why) and we given a room that did not have a suitable view. After considerable debate we were given a more suitable room with a better view but on a lower floor. It seems that when you book though Hotels.com that you take second.

All the hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. The underground parking was great and the hotel was centrally located. The only downside is the proximity to the sea plane terminal which meant you could not sleep in.
