This basement suite is located in a pretty great spot; just steps between downtown and Chinatown. A bit of a mini-suite, it's comfortable enough for 2 ppl; bright (NB bright), and well-decorated.
Nancy met us in person and gave us a run down of access and the suite itself (which is not so straightforward, so the personal touch is appreciated!) She was also kind enough to accommodate us for an earlier bag drop before formal check in time.
But. The mattress sucks. Between the box springs you can feel through the cheap foam topper and the Murphy nature of the bed, this heavy sleeper (plus ear plugs and sleep mask) wasn't able to catch very good winks. We spent most of our time in Victoria being very tired, which was a drag as it's a very nice place filled with lots to do!
Also. The blinds offer no privacy whatsoever. People can totally see in, making the tiny bathroom the only real safe space to change. It also prevents true darkness at night for sleeping (again, sleep mask is key here).
Don't think we would stay in this particular suite again, but the Janion condo building itself is prime real estate for visitors. I'm sorry this review is less than stellar; we booked relatively last minute and are pleased overall at what we got, but these are two glaring issues that hopefully get addressed.
Thanks for hosting us Nancy!
