Nice little place with friendly staff. I was a little bit disappointed when I realized there was no hair dryer after I already washed my hair.

This hotel was smelly and old and run down , I would not recommend it . Unless u just want it for an hour. The inside photos on the web site site are fake. The front desk clerk was nice

Easy drive from ferry/ great staff, clean and neat. Comfortable. It’s obviously not the $1000 a night Fairmont Victoria, it is an older motel with some aesthetic issues- that the owners are working very hard to make as comfortable as they can- staff could not have been more helpful.

It was very close to the Ferry Terminal. But our room did not have a shower.
