It was very close to the beach and in very accessible locations. One thing I didn’t like about it was the AC. It had a window ac which wasn’t effective in a hot days so I had expected to have proper ac that wasn’t effective built in so that it would keep the whole room cool.

Wonderful stay during the FIFA World Cup. Budget friendly with lots of great things. Overall well maintained despite the hotel being a bit older. Location in the West End right next to the beach and Stanley park is fantastic. Tons of great restaurants and coffee shops nearby. Staff are fabulous, thank you for accommodating special requests. Rooms on the premium floor with balcony are highly recommended if you like a view of the beach. Could be noisy at night from the street below, but it’s a trade off for great location and room with a nice view. Overall highly recommended.

Short trip in Vancouver made much easier at this lovely and centrally located hotel! Easy check in and friendly staff. The only issue I had was that our room was not cleaned on the second day, on a three day trip this made an impact for our group (no fresh towels or linens). Other than that would stay again!

Some type of visual cover at the parking area behind the hotel. We had people look into our room, so we were unable to keep the curtains open for fresh air and daylight. Not enough parking period and there could be a designated motorcycle parking so small motorcycles do not badly needed spots for cars.

Randomly picked this hotel based on location as a happy medium between where family lives. Hotel is dated and rooms feel a bit crowded, obviously gonna be noisy, but it's a budget pick downtown so kind of a manage your expectations deal. Beds were surprisingly comfortable and housekeeping was awesome though.

Not too many amenities for families (again, expected) but the staff both at the hotel and restaurant were incredibly friendly and helpful.

If I were traveling solo looking for an ok price downtown, I'd stay here again. Felt pretty safe all things considered and the location is really good. Close to Stanley park, lots of great food and pubs nearby, Davie is always fun.

The attached restaurant has very slow service to the point that we had to flag someone down to bring us water and take our order. And the food was only ok. Our room was fine though the bathroom was small. The type that you have to stand oddly close to the toilet in order to close the door. And the cooling unit was noisy and didn't work particularly well to cool the room down. Also the hotel is on a busy street so you hear the night life until quite late at night.

Pros: the location is perfect. Close to the beach and restaurants. Very convenient.
Cons: the AC was super cloud which made the first night impossible to sleep well. Talked to the staff and was told to deal with it since the hotel is old. The second night we turned it off before sleeping and luckily it was not too hot.
The blinds didn’t do a good job blocking the light. It had to split to allow the window AC to be installed. So expect waking up by bright light 5 AM ish

We did not feel we got our money’s worth as the fan in the bathroom did not work and the shower door did not stay closed. Very disappointed in the room over all.

When checking in after a long drive, I asked if there was a restroom in the lobby. The front desk person said no, but I later discovered it right next to the elevators. One of the housekeepers yelled at us from the elevator, accusing us of pressing the button to keep it from going up (we did not touch the button). The room itself was clean and recently renovated, but the thin, single pane windows transmitted almost all of the loud street noise in. The window AC was also very loud. Overall, a very bad stay.

The hotel is in a great location as it is close to restaurants, the beach and Stanley Park.
The rooms are very small but clean and comfortable. The bathroom is very tiny. In regard to fire safety the hotel is very out of date and dangerous. It is not sprinklered, and detection is very old and limited. The room doors do not have the automatic door closing devices required by the Building Code, which are required to stop fire spread. This is a major safety deficiency. I am very hesitant to stay here again, as a result.

Fantastic location!!! In my opinion, there isn’t a better location in Vancouver proper. It isn’t near a sky train station but the bus stop is literally right in front of the hotel, you’re right around the corner from English Bay, and Stanley Park is one block away. The hotel looks a little run down on the outside and in the lobby but the rooms are very nicely renovated and very clean. The attached pub had great happy hour specials and the food was good.

The pictures of the hotel are quite misleading, it gives the impression that it is on the beach, but in fact it is a short walk, the view is mainly obstructed by a large colourful high-rise building. If you want a peaceful night's sleep you'll need industrial strength ear plugs as you are on the main road and you'll hear people shouting and cars blowing their horns regularly. The staff in the hotel were ok, the area for breakfast was a sports bar, so if you wanted a quiet breakfast you'll have no chance as your senses will be assaulted from every angle, plus side it's ok for the evening (Red Umbrella up the road a much better option). If you want a place close to the nightlife this place will suit you.

Location is excellent for walking to the beach and Stanley Park, it’s even a fairly easy walk to the IMAX theatre. Parking is tricky as entrance to parking is at the back of the building not on street front and spots are narrow. We used the restaurant for a dinner, food and service were great but it is a sports bar and it was extremely noisy (we were 2 adults but certainly too loud to have children or older adults as you couldn’t carry on a conversation). Room was clean and had a fridge and microwave which was nice to have when staying a few nights. Though space in room was tight. Our room opened to the busy Davie street and had a balcony so fun to watch the passing traffic but noisy and it also got direct sunlight in the daytime and thus the room heated up like an oven. Air conditioning worked but blows right onto a bed. Over all we enjoyed the location and would rate the facility as “average”.

We were greeted right when we walked in the door asking about our stay where we were directed to the front desk for a quick check in. The amazing bell bow even wne t to the top level parking lot to get our bags while I checked in!
Once we were up in the room we had a beautiful view of the ocean and a clean room to spend our first time in Canada!
The breakfast that is included if you choose in your stay is incredible!! We were so happy to see that it was a full restaurant instead of just a basic breakfast bar. It filled us up before a full day of adventure to Stanley Park that is just conveniently located just 30 min from the hotel. It was also very nice that it was placed along the boardwalk considering we had dogs with us we could all go over and allow them to go to the bathroom very easily from there. There was so much to do on the street that we were on as well. There was nightlife restaurants and all sorts of goodies if you are looking for gelato and late night eat. Overall I was absolutely pleased with the hotel we will be staying again.
