Days Inn by Wyndham Victoria Uptown
Stay was great and the restaurant for breakfast was great as well. Just confused about the housekeeping situation. We did not request any for the length of our stay as instructed by the front desk person. Then the day before we checked out our room was cleaned. Not a big deal, just confusing.

Huntingdon Hotel and Suites
It was an excellent hotel for pets. Easy access to grass for dogs and great for walks as the hotel is very close to the pathways around the harbor. The free breakfast was excellent as well with plenty of different options everyday.
