“I think this is a particularly strong option in downtown Victoria; the recent renovations are impressive, and the blackout curtains paired with work desks meet both leisure and business needs. Its several on-site eateries and historic bar also distinguish it. A stay here puts you steps away from attractions like the Royal BC Museum and Inner Harbour.”
