"Comfy Bed, Good Location, Good Food"
Overall Score4.0/ 5
Good location downtown. Stayed one night and had a very quiet comfortable sleep. Spacious room, plank flooring and no carpet. Liked having both a coffee maker and kettle. We had a good meal at the White Spot at street level. Overall experience was pleasant and good.

"Very Good Service & Location Near Beach"
Overall Score3.0/ 5
Furniture in room was updated and it was nice to have laminate wood vs. carpet floors. Staff was accommodating when we had delayed flights with an extra per hour fee to stay 2.5 hours after 12:00 check out. Location is excellent; walking distance to shops and beach. Very good front desk service.

"Decent room, noisy a/c, helpful staff."
Overall Score3.0/ 5
Hotel is in good location but difficult to find if you're not familiar with city. Room was clean but a bit beat up. Beds were comfy and clean. A/C unit was so noisy that is woke my family up many times through the night. Staff helped us find alternate parking because our truck was too tall for on site lot. Finding overnight oversized vehicle parking is almost impossible in Vancouver!
