The room was great! Perfect and comfortable for 2 of us. Having the beds in a bedroom with separate living space was nice. Very clean and beds were very comfortable. The bathroom cabinet didn’t shut so was a bit in the way but nothing that impacted our stay. Excellent location in downtown Victoria.
