Shirley Vacations from $405

The person who checked me in was so kind AND efficient. Nothing better after a long day of biking. They were also kind enough to give me early check in which was a gift after biking in the rain. I would love to come back after my first impression of her kindness, the room, and location.

We really loved the view from our room and that everything we needed and wanted was within walking distance.

We stayed the night. Our room was fantastic and the views were gorgeous. The room was very spacious. I would definitely go back. You can see the hotel is trying and so is the staff. They need to get their maintenance in order on their landscaping, and I would update the flooring in all the hallways so that they don't have to use those diffusers. The restaurant staff try hard, but they are not professional waiters and could use some guidance from professionals.

We had such a great time staying here. The hotel’s exterior is obviously breathtaking and they spare no expense for the flowers and beauty as you walk up. The lobby is equally breathtaking. We stayed in 2 different rooms by choice in different sections. The history of this hotel is described on the walls from the parking garage, but it is clear as you walk through the halls. Despite its age, the hotel is beautifully done with soft, clean beds, and superior service. The pool was one of our favorite parts as well which was exceptionally clean. Definitely staying here again! Only complaint, which can’t be changed given the age of the hotel, is outside noise. Above the 4th floor and closer to parliament, we didn’t hear anything. But on the 4th floor and on the stores/restaurants side, you can hear almost all the street noise. Wouldn’t deter us from going back though.

This was such a a fun place to stay for a quick night in Victoria. We loved the history of the brewery and property. It was walkable to the downtown area without being right in the center of the noise. Though the guesthouse was thin walled the room had more amenities then most hotels and the room had a small deck for morning or afternoon drinks and fresh air.
