What a fun and sweet place to stay. Check in was a breeze, staff were friendly and fun. From the minute we stepped into the Inn until we checked out was a great experience. The rubber ducks were a def bonus and we all had a lot of fun with them, taking photos of them in various location, I think it has started a rubber duck collection with all of us lol Staff were so helpful and understanding, we had lost an item and were stressing as we had to leave, They offered to keep an eye out for it and ship it or give it to someone who could pick it up for us. They helped us search for it and thankfully we found it. Only wish they had locations in other parts of Canada as well, would def stay in these again.
I’ve stayed here nearly every 2 weeks, for the past 3-4 months. It’s my go-to for business travel because it’s a solid stay with clean rooms in good repair. The few times there have been any issues at all, the staff have been quick to jump on fixing them, and speaking of staff, they’re just cool people who make the vibe that much better. The only hesitation I have in making my recommendation is it means my room might not be available when I need it! Oh, they have a hot tub and a pool and my only complaint is that they are not open for at least an hour more, later in the evening.
Location is neutral, as there is not much around to see or eat. From the outside, it looks dated as well, but you'll be surprised once you step inside. It is exceptionally well-maintained and clean. Breakfast room even has a pool table for your enjoyment. If you have a car, this is a great place to stay.
We expected more from this hotel. It seems to be located in a really rough area of Victoria, walking back to the hotel past 9pm was really quite scary. I would suggest that this would not be a good place to stay for any lone traveller. We didn’t think that the room was particularly clean, especially when we found underwear that didn’t belong to any member of our party on the sideboard. When we called reception about this we got a particularly unhelpful response. The hotel seemed to come alive post 10pm when all that could be heard was screaming children and adults. As seasoned travellers none of us felt particularly safe staying here.
