    Great staff, great hotel, great location for us. Having said that, the card readers at check-in are absolute trash. Stayed here in late February. Tried 2 different readers several times on two different cards before approval. Same thing again end of March. 5 denials on 2 cards on both readers before approval. After check-in, went to their bottle shop next door and the shops card reader worked fine. Also, no tap available on hotel readers. Met a couple in the elevator who experienced the same situation. They were very upset. Felt it to be very demeaning. I know my cards are valid. Nonetheless, it is embarrassing, knowing your cards are good, to have your cards rejected especially while others are waiting to check-in behind you. Replace those readers. They're not that expensive! As an aside: provide traditional coffee makers. Keurig is a poor second.

    Unfortunately the coffee maker in the room did not work so I didn’t get my morning coffee. 😩

    We enjoyed our dinner in your restaurant. The ‘Snitzel’ was excellent- above average!!

    The only problem was the elevator broke for a few hours. Unfortunately it was when I was leaving the 3rd level. I now will ask a hotel if they have 2 elevators. I am traveling with a 4-wheel walker.

    The morning front desk lady. She just wanted me to throw the key in the bin and leave. She said she will not give me any receipt and in the evening I had to call the hotel again to get a receipt which I got within five minutes.

    What a wonderful location and the interior, the outlook, the sticky wicket.....everything screams the true essence of Victoria. You can literally walk all around and take a bus to anywhere around Victoria in just 1-2 min walk. The staff helped me with checking in early in minutes and also easing out my worries of checking in with a debit card. I will forever cherish this stay and recommend HIGHLY to book this place for its most epic location, price and everything else.
