The only aspect that wasn't good had to do with trying to get our little one to sleep. The lights outside were super bright, there was a particular walkway/doorway light that was within a couple feet of the window; the blinds weren't effective at stopping the light from coming through. We didn't bring enough black out curtains to get the multiple windows. Overall, if we didn't have our child with us, we'd consider staying there again. We liked the location (our white noise machine did a decent job blocking out the car/traffic from the street and adjacent parking lot).

I liked the location of the hotel across from the park and close to downtown. However one should be aware that it’s also located on a very busy intersection with buses and trucks going by at all hours of the night. If you’re a deep sleeper or half deaf, then it should be no problem for you!

Great location for access to downtown Victoria, beacon hill park and cook street village. A little noisy on the corner of a busy intersection but it was quiet at night. The hotel was accommodating when we had to cancel the first night of our stay due to an illness. Parking was an additional cost.

Everything was great except the noise...you could unfortunately hear everything from the hallway and the road. If you are an early riser it is probably fine though.

Love this hotel. As someone who lived in Victoria for over a decade, it’s weird to book hotels here now! But the Helms Inn is awesome. Clean, quiet, perfect location, parking, I love it! We had the 1 bedroom suite with two queen beds and it was all conspicuous and having the full kitchen was great!

We were upgraded to a suite, but we actually preferred the room we had last year as it was more spacious. Other than that, it's a wonderful hotel.
