Victoria, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

A decent place for 1 night. Price was good. The walls were a little thin for noise blockage from the adjoining room. Breakfast could use an upgrade. It was sparse with 3 options for sugary cereal, a few prepackaged baked goods and the usual waffel maker. Coffee offered only powdered creamer. Got milk from next to cereal. Ho hum....
