This was an excellent place to stay. The location is very convenient -- just a few steps from the bus depot and close to all of the things you'll want to do in downtown Victoria. The suite is way better than a hotel room, nicely appointed with everything needed for a comfortable stay and making meals. I didn't cook there as restaurants and cafes are just steps away. The building is also wonderfully maintained and has a small gym with some cardio equipment and weights, a pool, and a hot tub. The gym overlooks the Empress Hotel. There is construction across the street. I didn't find it bothersome but people who want to sleep in might. There's no construction on Sundays. I would definitely stay here again.
