New beds, friendly staff, free continental breakfast.
Location, wireless internet in lobby only.

The hotel is a $15 cab ride to downtown Vancouver, the rooms are not special but they have new beds, the lobby area is small and the hotel has no pool or exercise area. The area is not a place to go for a walk at night. For just a place to stay it is ok. Nothing special about the hotel. The staff is the best thing the hotel has going for it.

Close to MEC & Tai Chi Centre where I was going for a workshop.
Street noise from Kingway - easily fixed with ear plugs!

Located across street to shopping mall for food supplies, etc.
Noise in room - sounded like AC tapping noise - never could locate where it was coming from.

The hotel was ok for a short visit in Vancouver. Not walking accessible to downtown tourist areas but easily accessible and inexpensive to use public transportation (taxi costs around $5 to $6 USD, city bus appx. $2.50 USD). Only has small room for cold breakfast of assorted rolls, cereal, fruit, coffee/juice/milk. Overflow guests had to find place to eat in lobby.

Has a great older look and classic layout.
The room was small and didn't have extra cots.

This is one of the best values for a chain hotel in the downtown Vancouver area. Clean and neat. Because this is an older building that was converted into a hotel late in its life, the hallways and room layout are a bit smaller than a standard hotel. But the staff was accommodating and met our expectations.

Friendly and very informative staff.
Room was a little small but adequate for my needs on this trip.

Overall I was impressed with the hotel and the staff. The room was basic but clean and sufficient for my needs on this particular trip. It was central to everything I wanted to see and visit. The staff was excellent and catered to my needs and requests. They were very knowledgeable and informative regarding the area, public transportation and local dining.

Too far from downtown.
It was in a weird neighborhood.

Weird location - close to nothing. Was given a smoking room when requested non-smoking room.

Quiet local, just a few minutes drive to the famous Stanley Park.
Limited parking spaces in under ground access controlled garage, narrow stalls - scraped my side view mirror when exiting the garage.

The under ground garage is horrible - very small and steep. Once you drive in can't turn around - had to back up your car to get out. By doing so, scraped my car side view mirror. Street side parking available after 6 pm till 11 am. Very close to west gate mall, below grocery store. Public library and post office in under ground mall. Very helpful - use internet service in library. read more

We like the high ceilings. It made the room much more comfortable.
No complaints.

The hotel was very strategically located and convenient to all shopping and restaurants. We especially enjoyed the service, the cleanliness and 12 ft ceilings in our top floor rooms.
