Our room was warm. I called the front desk several times and all they would do
is send someone up to check the AC, but never to correct the problem. After I
called for the third time, the manager came up to check and offered us another
room, but it was no improvement and wasn't worth the move. Luckily it cooled off
enough at night for us to sleep. If you book with AAA, be sure and have your
agent lock in the free breakfast - otherwise, they won't honor it when you check
in.

Room Tip: Ask for the courtyard. It's quieter.

I stayed in this hotel way back in 1979 with my parents and thought it was
awesome so I decided to stay again when my husband and I went on our summer
holidays. I'm originally from Vancouver and knew the area would be lively at
night so we asked for the highest floor possible. We could still hear noise from
the street with the windows open but we expected that so we were prepared with
ear plugs. We had an awesome view from our balcony. The room had everything we
needed. I wasn't fond of the breakfast we ordered through room service but I'm a
chef and a bit of a picky eater. It was really fun to be able to walk to so many
places and take the bus. The parking lot was a bit hard to find so, once we
found it, we just parked our van and left it there. It was totally safe in there
and I found the cost of parking reasonable. It's not an overly cheap hotel but
compared to other hotels in the area, it's reasonable. I wouldn't want to stay
in a cheaper hotel in a sketchy part of the city. Like I say, I'm a native
Vancouverite so I know which parts to avoid.

I selected this hotel due to its relatively inexpensive price and proximity to
the Vancouver Marathon. I was impressed with the location as it was close to
good restaurants and entertainment. We parked our car in the gated garage and
didn't need to move it for the rest of our trip. Our room was on the fifth floor
and overlooked all the action on Granville Street.
The only negative (and this may be a big one depending on who you are) was that
it was quite loud outside past 3AM. The weekend crowd below kept going on and
on. Since I had an early start time for my half marathon, I wanted to get to bed
early. Despite this I would readily stay here again if I planned on going
downtown. Parking the car and staying downtown is a much better plan than
fighting the horrendous Vancouver traffic.
The hotel gave us a voucher for a free continental breakfast which was nothing
more than a cup of juice and a muffin. I don't care--the place still gets 4
stars.

After reading some reviews, I was a bit dubious about staying here. We found a
great price and decided to give it a try. It turned out to be a nice surprise.
We stayed in the Courtyard building. True, the alleyway between the lobby and
the courtyard is a little sketchy but the courtyard itself is secured with a
lock that is opened with your room key. The courtyard is quite lovely, with a
gazebo and nice flowers. The rooms were quite large and very clean. You can tell
that the building itself is a little older but the rooms have been updated and
are very nice. |
