Clean, fresh towels, linens and shower curtain made it better than most air bnbs (as musty is the common theme). Supplies need updating ( 1 water glass in cupboard) and new paint is sorely needed as paint peeling was rampant in bathroom and elsewhere. Its age is showing with old, squeaky Sub flooring and thin carpeting. Beds are OK and while not brand new, ive had worse at 3-4* hotels.

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,
