Guest Review of the Sandman Suites Vancouver On Davie June 12, 2011 I chose this hotel because it was central to most things, and what a good choice it was :) Checking couldn't have been easier - everyone was polite and friendly, and we got a room on floor 20. We liked the fact that the room was a suite, so the was a small area for cooking ie: cooker/fridge/coffee maker/microwave/dishwasher if you wanted to bring food back, or make your own. The suite was fairly basic but clean and comfortable, with a TV in the bedroom and sitting area. We felt that we didn't need anything more, as the room was more or less a base, as we were out most of the time exploring Vancouver. We had complimentary breakfasts in Maxie's restaurant next-door, which consisted of toast & fruit, or sausages/bacon/hash browns with tea/coffee/orange juice. There was also complimentary use of the steam room and gym - I used the eucalyptus steam room a couple of times, which was very relaxing :) You could also connect to the wireless internet service for free, using a code obtained from the front desk. We had a few problems with some transfers which the holiday company had messed up - they couldn't do enough to help us on the front desk, and spent quite some time making phone calls trying to sort it out. They also had maps of the city, and advice on using the Skytrain/buses/taxis if you weren't sure. A definite 10/10 for friendliness and customer service. Davie has literally hundreds of eateries on it, ranging from Transylvanian Cakes (yes really !) from Chinese, Mexican, Thai and Indian; to the usual Burgers, Subway, Denny's, and coffee houses; so you can't go far wrong at all. There were also numerous convenience stores, bakeries and grocers if you preferred to take something back and eat on the balcony.. If you don't walking, you could get to Stanley Park in 10/15 minutes. Downtown / Waterfront was a 15-20 minute walk down Davie, and left along Granville Street which took you to the Waterfront via the main shopping areas. Or if you prefer, walk down Davie to Yaletown/Roundhouse and catch the sky train to the Waterfront which was $3.75 single. Guest Review of the Sandman Suites Vancouver On Davie June 7, 2011 It was our first time in Vancouver--such a friendly city--a stark contrast to Montreal. Perhaps it is because there are so many gay men in the area, but we had a great time in this welcoming city and enjoyed our stay at the Sandman Suites on Davie. We found the room to be quite large--which contradicts what others have written. Our room did have hardwood floors. We had a view of the city and of the bay. The hotel uses cruelty-free bath products, which is much appreciated (most bar soaps contain tallow which is animal fat--no thanks). Great restaurants and bars within walking distance. The washing machine is a bonus, but be forewarned that a load takes four hours, and there is safety timer on the dryer, so you cannot open the door for ten minutes after your clothes are dry which =wrinkles. Also--did not hear any noise from other guests while in our room--this is important to me as I hate thin hotel walls.
