Possibly the cleanest hotel room I've ever been in. Super friendly reception, bar and restaurant are great. Lots of parking. King size bed with 5 pillows- nice! Mini fridge in the room, no coffee maker but complementary a.m. coffee and tea in the lobby.

Charming heritage style hotel in the heart of James Bay . Super walkable to Ogden Point or downtown. Pub / restaurant found is delicious and reasonably priced and the friendly staff go out of their way to make sure that everything is to your satisfaction. Can’t wait to return.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
I was in a petite room so I knew it would be small. The price was good. My only complaint was my bed (maybe other rooms are different), it was super hard and I didn’t sleep well because of that. Would I come back? Yes. I would go for a bet larger room but as I said, I booked it because of the good price. The staff were lovely, the neighborhood was great for walking. I enjoyed local small businesses. The restaurant part of the hotel is good. It caters to an older pallet but there were lots of choices. Again, the hotel is charming and old. It was clean and kept up. Couldn’t be nicer folks running it.

Loved the hotel with it’s rustic charm. It is out of the hustle and bustle of the city as it is located in a quiet neighborhood. Short walk into town and i enjoyed walking through the beautiful fall foliage. Felt I was in a Hallmark Christmas movie. The staff is so friendly. The only downfall was that the shower stall was rather small. Would definitely stay there again if I return to Victoria.
