Huntingdon Hotel and Suites
It's just a quick trip but we loved the hotel. Right close to city center so it's very convenient. We had a family suite which is very spacious.

Every interaction with staff was pleasant and professional, but we didn’t have to talk to them much as the hotel was set up so well, and the room was stocked with consumables! Easy walking distance to everything in Victoria!
