The room was large and well equipped with a thoughtfully stocked kitchen (with kitchen tools, etc.) and comfortable beds and bathroom. The location is the main selling point and is just a short walk from the museum. We would stay at this hotel again in future.

The room was clean and very comfortable. We were first a little concerned about noise as we were the end room by the street but it was a non-issue. The bedroom was very quiet at night. The location was perfect for walking to anything we wanted to see. It was also in walking distance to many restaurants and public transit which we used to go to the Butchart Gardens (highly recommend). Also walkable to the FRS Clipper ferry for transportation to Seattle. We would stay here again!
