Pros. Good breakfast options ; coffee, tea, juice, pastries, fruit, yougurt. Great location. Able to walk everywhere. Valet parking worth it ; $16/day anyways to park in the parkade nearby, so pay the $22 and they can park and bring you your car. Just call down or ask at front desk for when you want to pick it up.

Cons. Add more breakfast options. Or have restaurant open for some grill or griddle options.

Pros. We loved our stay at Hotel Rialto. The location is fantastic, it's in downtown Victoria and we were able to walk to pretty much everything except Butchart Gardens. Our room was clean and beautiful, the staff was helpful and friendly, and the food in the breakfast room was good. Parking was very close by in a reasonably priced garage (hourly, up to $12/day as of August 2015). I loved Victoria and plan to go back, and when I do I will stay at the Rialto!

Pros. Staff was great

Cons. Shower drained very slow causing over an inch of water to pool in the bottom every time you used it. Bed was not comfy at all. Room was a lot smaller than i expected.
