Robin Hood Inn & Suites
This looks like a dingy motel on the outside but was surprisingly good. The rooms were clean and comfortable though not fancy. The breakfast was excellent, and the free e-Bike rentals might have been the best amenity of all given Victoria's great bike infrastructure.

Hotel Grand Pacific
Enjoyed the GP again, especially the convenience of the location and access to the fitness facility. Floors are a bit creaky, which is a bit surprising for newer construction, but the staff were helpful in addressing a noise concern.
