'Twas a most effective, convenient, and enjoyable accommodation for my first-time visit to Victoria. The location couldn't be beat: the bus from Butchart Gardens dropped off 1-2 blocks away, the ferry to Port Angeles was less than 1 mile / 20 minutes on foot, and the building was in the very heart of Downtown and all it has to offer. Staff were friendly and helpful upon arrival and even more so upon departure. The room is small (as clearly advertised) but certainly sufficient, and its best feature is ventilation (both a double window fan and another portable fan kept the room very pleasant despite the warm and humid weather). Shared bathrooms were right outside, and the facilities were clean throughout. I didn't take advantage of free breakfast, dinner, or cocktail, but I appreciated that they were offered. Likewise, I was out and about most of the time because of the limited time I had, but I felt like one could partake of the community and make new connections here. I strongly recommend this listing and would stay here again if I revisit this area.
