Residences On Georgia

This is a condo not a hotel so you gain space but miss out on some of the things you usually find in a hotel room (i.e. no shampoo, coffee/tea). If you know this in advance you can pack for this. The security is a bit daunting at first but you quickly get use to it although the parking garage can be a maze if you get off at the wrong level. Lots of stairs to climb off Gerogia street but I found ramp access off Alberni street. Having a full kitchen made it easy to make some meals at home to save money. I was upgraded to the penthouse with a roof top deck, and fabulous views of English Bay. A safe, quiet, friendly place, central to the highlights of Vancouver, walkable neighbourhood with shops & restaurants close by. I would recommend it and would return without a doubt. ...read more

An upscale and comfortable one-bedroom apartment in a 36-six story building located just a few blocks from the Convention Center. It was very quiet -- did not hear a single neighbor the whole stay. The staff were welcoming, cordial, and helpful in recommending restaurants / markets, and even calling a cab and helping me carry out luggage. I did not miss having hotel room-service one bit, because of "Urban Fare," a fabulous market and deli one block away. A full array of satellite TV channels, in-room washer/dryer, and separate TV in the bedroom give all the comforts of home. Being able to open the windows for fresh air was also a definite plus for me. The Dale Chihuly art on the first floor gives it a touch of class. ...read more
