    A short guide to Victoria

    Victoria is western Canada’s oldest city and British Columbia’s capital. The city’s British influences are clear in the architecture and nomenclature; thriving Chinatown reveals some of the city’s other influences. The Parliament Building overlooks the busy Inner Harbour; the Royal British Columbia Museum is across the street. The University of Victoria is 7.5 km (4.5 mi) northeast of downtown.

    This hotel far exceeded my expectations. We were on the third floor but we packed light so we didn't mind not having an elevator to use. The room had a full kitchenette and separate living room. It was very roomy and clean. The wireless internet was also very helpful and there were some great dining guides available to help us find dinner. The hotel […] is right next to the Royal BC Museum and near Parliament and the ferry docks. It is on one of the main roads that goes through Victoria so there is easy access to restaurants, shops, and bus stops. The hotel is also across the street from the northwest corner of Beacon Hill, unfortunately we did not have time for a stroll in the park though. I would definitely stay here on my next visit to Victoria and would recommend the hotel to my friends. Read more
