A Surprisingly Lovely Hotel.
We had an absolutely lovely stay for just one night. The room was spacious, nicely decorated, and clean. The beds were very comfortable with soft sheets. There was a small fridge and a coffee maker. The breakfast was very good, with hot options as well as cold. Also lots of parking and easy walk through a beautiful town down to the beach and shore walk.

We love to stay at this small hotel whenever we are in Sidney. They have great staff, it's not super busy, a really nice breakfast and it's within walking distance of the pier and great shopping and dining. The airport and Ferry are close by as is Butchart Gardens.

This was by far the best hotel stay we have ever experienced. From our early arrival by air and being able to check in within an hour of arriving to departure and the quick friendly service. We will definitely be back.
