I booked the hotel based on other reviews of their breakfast. It is better than most breakfasts I have enjoyed in the past eg: scrambled eggs included green onions and spinach, latte machine and whip and berries for the DIY waffles. It was well managed with friendly staff. It also included high chairs which was ideal for me and my 8 month old. Check in was easy, the room was updated and lovely. The building and halls are older, but if you look past that, it was a 5 star experience. Thank you for taking great care of me and my little guy.

The Embassy Imn is a wonderful place to spend a night or two in downtown Victoria. A block from the waterfront, its location is perfect. Breakfast is provided making the room price very acceptible.
