“Metro Inn strikes me as a practical choice outside Victoria's core, especially appealing if you're driving. I appreciate that it seems well-maintained despite its age, and the inclusion of kitchen facilities in some rooms is a definite plus for families or longer stays. If you value function and a good price over fancy frills, this could be a solid option.”
