Clean and updated rooms, great shower, comfortable beds. Having the diner attached was great, and the media/games room is a nice touch. The staff was super helpful, and the service was noticeably better than a lot of other places I've stayed. Price was good as well, I would stay again without hesitation, and would recommend to friends.

Property has potential but expensive immediate area has homeless people but there is no place to get coffee before 8 am. The room was small and there were issues with the curtains and the farmhouse door to the bathroom slipped off its track several times. I also slipped on the shower floor. Staff were all pleasant but not particularly helpful

This is a fantastic place for the price. If you’re looking for a top hotel then this probably isn’t for you, but for a cheaper hotel it’s one of the best. It’s clearly an old building that’s been updated, but has been updated well. The staff was the best I’ve dealt with in years. The games room was an awesome bonus and there’s an outdoor pool. We also got a free upgrade which was super great. Parking was a little difficult the first night, but was fine the rest of the way. Highly recommend for a cheaper hotel option.

There’s a few minor issues that I have addressed to the hotel concierge. it was about 3 to 5 inch blood stains near the elevators button (2nd floor). Hotel elevator mirror & walls should look decent. House keeping staff is awesome. All in all it’s a great hotel stay

I like the Vic for the following reasons: - The building is a bit dated, but the recent renovation made it a comfortable stay (new bathrooms, rainfall shower with good water pressure, quiet fan in the bathroom, bright lobby, new lighting fixtures) - It's tucked away on a quiet street that feel safe and quiet - The room that we stayed in was quiet, even thought it was close to the elevator - The staffs were friendly, professional, and helpful - They have a multi screen TV in the amenity room that comes with a table tennis table, a foosball table, a popcorn machine, and board games. I saw guests gather there for hockey games and fun every so often. That gave the hotel a vibrant vibe. The only minor inconvenience is its location. Depends on where you need to go, you may need to drive through the surrounding residential area for 5-8 min before you hit the main roads. But given the traffic, the smaller road may be quicker at times. Overall, it was a pleasure and comfortable stay and I would stay there again.
