Property info

Our property is located in a convenient location with easy access to the supermarket and easy public transit access to downtown. We have a diverse range of guests that come in from many parts of the world and always look forward to meeting new faces! To clarify, some guests have some confusion regarding our breakfast. Currently we are not serving breakfast to keep the prices low, but will continue breakfast services in May after the Victoria long weekend.
