I booked this hotel through 'pureCanada' website and paid about 50 pounds per
night for a king sized bed room on the 11th floor. It was a bargain!
The hotel front is not that big and luxurious but the room is well maintained
and the hotel staffs are very very kind and helpful. I absolutely loved them!
The location of this hotel is just outside of downtown though it is still within
the walking distance from the downtown. (about 5-10mins).
The good thing about this hotel is there is free internet connection as long as
you stay there (if you have a laptop) and it's very close to the bus depot which
links Vancouver city to other cites.
The bathroom is good and if you are a lady, you will love the Aveda toiletries
provided by the hotel (facial soap, bath soap, body lotion, shampoo and
conditioner).
We didn't try the breakfast as it seemed a bit expensive. There are many
restaurants around the hotel, so you can easily get subway sandwich( 2min from
the hotel) or McDonald's breakfast.
I already miss Vancouver. Vancouver is a lovely city with nice people and
environment. I would definitely go back and will stay at this hotel.

Hotel was excellent. Staff was polite and helpful. Room was very clean and well
furnished. Bathroom was nice. Beds were very comfy. Fitness center was nice and
hot tub was great. Good location in downtown and $10 parking fee per night was
very reasonable in secure garage below hotel. Would definitely stay here again.

First class hotel Beds to die for, Location excellent right opposite BC PLACE
for Hockey and concerts. If we go again and we r in 2009 we will be staying
here. If you go 100 yards to the right is Dix Brewing Pub excellent real ale and
food and sport. If you want any info on Vancouver just ask me our friends have
lived there for 28 years and know the lot, Anyway hotel is a must.

We stayed here for 6 nights back in Sept. 2006. It was my husband and my first
trip to Vancouver. We weren't as excited about the location but the friendly
staff made up for it. We bugged them daily on restaurants, tours, etc. Always
willing to chat and help in any way.

I have never been more unhappy with my experience at a hotel! Someone was
banging very hard and very loud at our door, my husband tried to speak to the
man through the door and tell him he had the wrong room. The man stunk so bad
you could smell it in the room, he was clearly drunk and slurring his words and
very very angry. I had to call the front desk twice and after they sent someone
up to remove the man, the manager came to our room and asked us if we knew the
man and indicated the man said he knew us. We told him absolutely not and the
manager immediately changed stories and said that the man had a room in the
hotel but was just lost. We told the manager that we feared the door was coming
in and we told the man he had the wrong room and the manager half heartedly
apologized and said the man would not bother us anymore. What is worse is that
when we left about 20 minutes later, the man was outside the hotel digging in
the garbage can - outside the hotel! We were pretty sure the manger lied to us,
and there was our proof! I would never recommend this place.
