Definitely not a 5 star hotel but the staff are amazing and the view off my balcony of the ocean was beautiful... There is NO WAY you could get a hotel ocean front for this price, anywhere in the world! .. I would have rated it higher but the bathroom wasn't in the best condition.

I was looking for lodging in Victoria for one night and I found the prices quite steep. So I decided to look for a hotel room north of the city. Although this place was about an hour north of Victoria I decided to stay there. The place was very quiet,

We loved this hotel. We were very lucky.The front desk ma n who was very friendly, upgraded us to a room with a balcony over looking the bay. The room was spacious and very clean. Just a short walk to some dinning options. We will stay here again for sure, it's a great place.

16 seniors were on a 4 day bike trip and about 10 stayed on this property. Mike went way beyond what we would expect. He was so helpful he even stored bikes in his room for the seniors who had rooms on the second floor.

For an older property, it is extremely well maintained. And we thought it was a great change to the more modern stays we’ve had. No complaints at all! Flowers in the gardens and hanging baskets really looked great and healthy!
