“This hotel boasts a prime location near the beach and transit, making it easy to explore Vancouver; plus, the immediate area is packed with diverse dining and shopping options. While some aspects show their age-a dated stove, for instance-the friendly staff and sizable rooms contribute positively. If you value location and space over ultra-modern aesthetics, it could be a solid choice.”

convenient and safe stay

cheery staffclean roomcomfortable bedpoor sound insulation

the staff was efficient and cheery when i checked in they allowed me to store my bags at the front desk while i waited. this allowed me to wander around the city without dragging my luggage. the room was clean and it smelled nice. the beds were comfortable everything worked as it should.

the location is on a busy street with outdoor seating for bars and cafes the poor sound insulation meant it was noisy until 1am. the parking garage is very tight it doesn't suit full-sized cars or trucks.

the location was great. it was only a block or so to the water. i found many restaurants and bars in very close proximity. there were lots of food and coffee options nearby too.

the hotel room was not well kept. i noticed the walls in the bathroom were dirty. i am almost certain that the attendant stole my credit card information. i never hand my card to anyone anymore.
