Great value, clean, and comfortable for the 3 of us ( 2 humans, 1 dog). It is not too far from Victoria, although, expect an extra 15-ish minutes in rush hour. We went back and forth a few times, visited the Butchart Gardens, and strolled along the Sooke coast. Highly recommended if you want to be a little removed from the city, but still within reasonable proximity. Great host!
