I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious, elegant, and perfect for accommodating my family. Although the room layout was okay, it was interesting with the queen bed in its own separate room. The service was fantastic, with attentive staff even surprising my sister with a birthday card in the room upon our arrival. The location was ideal, situated right behind the Parliament Buildings and within walking distance to everything in Victoria. The dining experience was exceptional, and the facilities were top-notch.
