Brethour Park

Great breakfast included option and unbeatable location

Great stay and the staff were very welcoming. The building has suffered some wear and tear, the elevators look pretty worn and the signs of use are apparent. Some investment into freshening up the look of the property could prove helpful for return visits. Other than those items the room was clean, the bedsheets were ready but not pressed well which was functional but not pleasing upon entry. Overall, the big seller was the location was reasonably close to downtown with parking on a weekend providing access without dealing with downtown Victoria.

The Empress is a fabulous old hotel with the absolute top notch staff and the service is extraordinary. Afternoon tea was special and the ability to walk to everything is fantastic. My wife and I loved the whole experience
