I was looking for lodging in Victoria for one night and I found the prices quite steep. So I decided to look for a hotel room north of the city. Although this place was about an hour north of Victoria I decided to stay there. The place was very quiet,

Very clean and comfortable. I wasn't sure what to expect, but we were impressed. The building may look a little dated, but the beds were high quality and anything you needed, the staff looked after it for you quickly.

We loved this hotel. We were very lucky.The front desk ma n who was very friendly, upgraded us to a room with a balcony over looking the bay. The room was spacious and very clean. Just a short walk to some dinning options. We will stay here again for sure, it's a great place.

16 seniors were on a 4 day bike trip and about 10 stayed on this property. Mike went way beyond what we would expect. He was so helpful he even stored bikes in his room for the seniors who had rooms on the second floor.

Great location to explore Cowichan Valley

The people were great and the stay was comfortable—and a great location. Building is on the older side, but the room was clean and comfortable.

For an older property, it is extremely well maintained. And we thought it was a great change to the more modern stays we’ve had. No complaints at all! Flowers in the gardens and hanging baskets really looked great and healthy!
