We were visiting Victoria by car so the place was perfectly located for us. In a sense the place is wonderfully located from Victoria since we could drive the scenic maritime route a few times. The place in itself was nice: the bathroom and the bed were perfect. The only issue I see might be the bugs in the room; there are many ants and spiders on the floor and ceiling, most likely due to being in a basement. Some stuff against ants was there but seems to work partly. We didn't have the opportunity to meet Joseph, yet we did enjoy self-checking in. So I think it's a nice place to crash when in Victoria: a rather impersonal room that brings you what you need: a bed and a shower. Nothing more to expect.
