Very conveniently located to convention center. A little pricey, but
rate included free wired Internet and long distance calling to states.
Nice rooms -- would definitely stay here again!

The standout of this hotel was the service. Everyone was polite and
friendly. They knew us by name by the end of the first day. They were
very helpful and accommodating. Unfortunately, I didn't check to see if
they had WiFi in the rooms (doesn't every big hotel by now), but they
had it downstairs in the lobby. Very inconvenient, but we made the trip
downstairs to connect. My husband could not connect and they asked him
if he had an IPAD II and he did. For some reason, IPAD II's have a very
hard time connecting. We asked for help and they still couldn't hook us
up. We were never able to use the WiFi.
The location is great, near the Sea Wall, Stanley Park, Robson St. and
the Convention Center. We walked everywhere in the city. Very helpful
Concierge service with written directions to Whistler, Butchart Gardens,
Capilano Bridge etc. There is a car rental agency in the hotel and that
was very convenient. Valet parking was very expensive at $35 a night.
They overcharged us one night Valet Service but took it off immediately.
They had free, big umbrellas for use in the rain which came in very
handy. Overall Great Experience.

In the time from my first review of the Marriott Pinnacle in downtown
Vancouver I have stayed another 150 nights in the Downtown Vancouver
area between various properties. When rates allow, my chosen place of
rest is the Pinnacle.
Construction of the Coal Harbor hotel next door is complete, allowing
for full sidewalk access and reduction of noise. Views have been
severely impacted by the rise of condominiums across the street, though
not enough to dampen their enjoyment. Many rooms also enjoy a view of
the Olympic Torch - lit on special occasions.
The remodel of the rooms has also been completed, new furnishings adorn
each room I've visited recently. Conference rooms are undergoing some
remodel, the only evidence of this is a sign in the lobby.
The restaurant continues to be a significant area where improvement is
necessary. The service is excellent, but the menu is significantly
lacking and expensive.
Parking is still more expensive than a rental car, but the convenience
of the Canada Line terminus at the Waterfront station with direct access
to the airport has led me to abandon driving in Vancouver altogether.
The lobby wireless is poor but free, rooms rarely get wireless but are
all wired. The concierge lounge wireless is adequate and is free for
those with access. Marriott grants free access to their elite members in
room as well

This is our 2nd time at this hotel and the experience was great.
Great room with partial view of the water. Room was what you expect from
the Marriot with robes, bar fridge and flat screen TV.
The steam room was a great place to unwind.
Highly recommended

Great location and good government rate. Easy 15 minute walk from Canada
Line. Rooms were clean, but not as modern/contemporary as I like. Gym
was being renovated when I was there so can't comment. Parking is
brutally expensive so fly and take the Canada Line whenever possible (I
learned the hard way)
