“Every time I stay here I am always pleased with the room and service. Our room had a harbour view which made it all the more enjoyable. I will without a doubt come back here. ” — Google Review

“Excellent hotel that allows dogs. Check-in was quick. The room was spotless, the bed comfortable and the surroundings very quiet. It’s only a five-minute walk to downtown. They have a secure parking garage across the street. The staff was always very friendly.”
Yelp Review

“Perfect spot just a short walk from downtown Victoria. Views of the inner harbour from our balcony were priceless. All of the desk staff and bellmen were incredibly friendly and accommodating, everyone made sure to acknowledge us with a smile every time they saw us. Loved the spacious room and massive bathroom. Breakfast at the Aura restaurant exceeded expectations, it was all excellent but the Seafood Benny really blew us away! Such creative and delicious fusions. Hope to stay again! ” Tripadvisor
