Review of the Quality Inn Hotel Vancouver June 9, 2011 Originally I didn't intend to stay at a budget class hotel like this one. But when I planned the trip, all upper-class hotels were completely booked somehow, so I decided to look for a budget hotel room. I thought I did my homework properly by researching various hotels on this web site. The rating of this hotel was quite high and feedback was generally favorable, so I decided to reserve this hotel. However, I found it one of the worst hotels I've ever stayed. I know I'm a bit spoiled by number of luxurious hotels I stayed in the past, but this is my honest feedback. <Pros> - The room was relatively clean. - The bed was comfortable. - The shower poured out plenty of hot water, which was relieving after a long day. <Cons> - Extremely noisy. - Email correspondence was awfully sloppy. - No welcome atmosphere or smiling on the face of front desk clerks. - Low security. - No in-room fridge. - No in-room safe. Review of the Quality Inn Hotel Vancouver Sloppy Email Correspondences After making a reservation via local travel agency, I inquired the hotel if they can provide me with a room with an in-room fridge. I didn't get a reply for a week. So I sent another inquiry via their online contact form. This time I got a short reply, saying "the rooms with fridge are scarce so you need to book it asap". So I sent a reply right away to request the room. But I didn't receive a confirmation or whatsoever. At this point, I gave up communicating with the hotel online. Review of the Quality Inn Hotel Vancouver No Smile When I arrived Vancouver and checked in to the hotel, I felt no sense of welcome atmosphere from the front desk clerk. No smiling, bar none. But I didn't care as long as he did his job of checking me in. One glitch was that the room booked for me was the one without a fridge, as suspected. I asked the clerk for changing the room to the one with a fridge, but he said that only suite rooms have fridges. So, the clerk and the reservation staff told me different stories, but I didn't argue anymore because I was exhausted after a long flight. Review of the Quality Inn Hotel Vancouver Dated Facility The facility was generally quite dated. If you've ever stayed at one of dated Aston condos in Waikiki, this hotel is dated just like them. This won't be a big deal considering the price range of this hotel. And the room I stayed was relatively clean and the bed was comfortable. Review of the Quality Inn Hotel Vancouver Extreme Noise The room I stayed was on the second floor, right in front of the staircase with heavy firedoor, and storeroom for cleaning staff. Because it was second floor, most guests were going in and out through the staircase. Each time they opened the firedoor, the door automatically closed with explosive noise "BANG!". While staying in the room, I was harassed by that loud noise every so often, making it impossible to relax. In addition, during daytime the cleaning staff was opening and closing the storeroom's door all the time, making the noise even worse. Meanwhile, because the room was facing to one of arterial streets in downtown Vancouver, there was considerable traffic noise for 24 hours. I was lucky enough to bring a pair of ear plugs. Otherwise I could never sleep well. Because of this noisiness, I became hesitant about staying in the room. So I tried to cruise around the town as long as possible even after finishing my business appointments. Review of the Quality Inn Hotel Vancouver Security There's no in-room safe. And anyone can enter into the guest room floors bypassing the front desk, by going through the parking lot door and the staircase (all unlocked). So your room door is the only security between your valuables and people on the street. Review of the Quality Inn Hotel Vancouver Wireless Internet Regarding the complimentary services, the hotel provides free wireless internet access. However, the connection speed is very slow, so I recommend you to prepare an alternative method of internet connection, if it's vital for your trip. I measured the connection speed via several web sites and the average was around 370kbps. Meanwhile, my Novatel MiFi 3352 scored around 3,700kbps in the same room. Bottomline All in all I had poor experience staying at this hotel. I will not stay here again. I will not recommend this hotel to anyone I know. |
