It’s hard to imagine a better option for a smaller, efficient, contemporary retreat if you’re visiting Victoria as were in early October. The harbor waterfront is right out your large window and nearly everything you need and want to do is within easy to reasonable walking distance. We began our whale watch tour barely five minutes walk and had tea at the Empress about ten minutes away.
The suite itself is flooded with light, the bathroom clean and bright with lots of white and glass, and handy recessed shelves/ nooks for your small stuff. I really like the stylish contemporary sink.
It was the first time we ever made use of a Murphy bed, which was easy to use, and we actually just left it down since we were gone except for evenings.
We made use of the minimalist appliances, e.g. washer/dryer and refer/freezer, whose appearance blend with the kitchen cabinets nicely.
Access to the studio style is very secure and quick through a modern, clean lobby entrance.
If you are planning a trip in the near future, be mindful of a construction project on the opposite side of the building, which will no doubt upon completion add to modern cosmopolitan feel of Victoria’s waterfront.
