Best Layover Experience
The hotel listed at a very convenient location of the Main Street. Very short walk to save on food, shoppers and local restaurants. 10 minutes walk to the shoreline. Staff Ms were super friendly and provided recommendations on local site seeing. We have a 20+ hr layover. They allow us to check-in early at around noontime. Breakfast was good, would be better if they have hard boil eggs and bacon.

We love to stay at this small hotel whenever we are in Sidney. They have great staff, it's not super busy, a really nice breakfast and it's within walking distance of the pier and great shopping and dining. The airport and Ferry are close by as is Butchart Gardens.
