“This older establishment prioritizes cleanliness and a prime location near Victoria's main attractions, making it a practical choice. Kitchenettes are a definite plus, and while renovations are ongoing, noise is well-managed. In my opinion, its central spot, especially for conference attendees, combined with the in-room kitchens, represents real value.”
