I liked the fact that it was so well located in Victoria. The property was very basic but clean. Will definitely stay again. Some people may dislike the homeless in the area, but this is common in cities throughout the world. If you want to see as little of that as possible, I recommend when leaving the property turn left and walk down to Douglas or Government St. (ideal) to get on your way downtown.
