Chateau Victoria Hotel and Suites

8/10 Good
"The hotel was conveniently located. Did not use the bar/restaurant. The room was comfortable and well maintained. The one issue was the TV… not sure if it was the aspect ratio, the settings, the equipment connected to the TV, or the TV itself, but every channel looked bad to the point of being uncomfortable to watch. Blurry, over-zoomed, under-zoomed, or just bad, the quality of the image resembled a cam recording, where someone goes to a movie theatre and records a movie on their phone and then puts the recording on the internet, but the problem was with every channel and it often seemed like the aspect portion of the problem wasn’t the same on every channel, leading me to think that the equipment connected to the TVs and the TVs themselves might both be the problem."
