"Stayed at The Vic for a wedding with my husband and we had such a great experience!!! Very easy to check in to the hotel. Entire hotel appeared very clean and maintained! Washer and dryers on each floor for guests. Wished we would’ve stayed longer to enjoy the beautiful patio! 5 minutes from downtown via car or uber. Also can walk to a nearby park on the water as well. Would highly recommend for the quality, price point, kind staff, and accessibility to downtown."
