We spend two nights in a room, standard, with a large bed in one of the top stories with a large terrace. The hotel seemed a bit shabby but very clean. Our room was a bit noisy, because the ventilation system on the opposite building. Something that strange happened was, that in a city hotel the internet subject to a charge was. The location is ideal to discover the town with a station of the Canada line nearby. In the immediate area is gastown, yaletown, and Chinatown. Also the port and the stanley park are easy to reach on foot. … read more

The front desk we found than annoying, distant and musty. On security was respected. To the rooms one came only with the room card. The lifts were the slowest of the whole team - the staircase was busy. The breakfast there were on the 2 floor in the restaurant moxies, which we didn't use however-there were tons of alternatives nearby.nullWe got room 317. our room had carpet floor, iron and ironing board, tv, air conditioning/heating, 2 large double beds with lots of pillows. The windows were not fully open, the made but nothing. The bathroom had a shower and a toilet. The … read more

From the outside the hotel is no piece of jewelry. But a super city hotel ideal for a trip in Vancouver to make. You are right in downtown and on foot actually reach everything. Inside the hotel is nicely furnished even if not anymore at the latest standards. The staff in the hotel is very friendly and helpful. The rooms are big and the beds even bigger. … read more
