The hotel is conveniently located on a major road in Victoria, with a Denny's nearby for breakfast and the Mayfair mall just across the street, which was really handy. The room was spacious but had a noticeable smell of smoke when we checked in, which was a bit off-putting. The service could use some improvement; while one staff member was very helpful, others were surprisingly rude. Overall, it felt more like a budget option than what we expected for the price we paid.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location is fantastic, with a pub nearby that serves great pizza, and it’s just a short drive to downtown Victoria. The staff were friendly and helpful, which was a big plus. However, the room I was in had a strange atmosphere, mainly because of the overwhelming focus on horseracing that made it feel uncomfortable at times. Overall, it was decent but not ideal for everyone.
