I stayed in at this Days Inn for one week while attending a conference at the
Vancouver Convention
Center. If you're someone who doesn't need the luxury "extras" then this is
a great place to stay! The location was amazing: 2 minute walk to the Convention
Centre, 5-7 minute walk to shopping on
Robson Street , 4
minutes to the Stanley Park
Seawall, and 10-ish minutes to the center of
Gastown. The free wi-fi throughout the
hotel made it perfect for business, and the proximity to great restaurants,
bars, and nightlife was excellent. I will say that this is NOT a romantic or
luxurious place, but it's clean and the staff were very friendly. I was in a
"double double" room (#606) that did not have any views, but that was okay
because it was quiet and like I said, I was there for business and not in the
room too much anyway. As an added bonus, Smiley's Irish Pub next door is
FANTASTIC! Some of the best calamari I've ever had in my life, great beer
selection, and cool atmosphere. Definitely not the kind of place you'd expect to
be semi-attached to a Days Inn! Overall great value for the location.

Stayed at the hotel when i attended a conference at the convention centre. I
have stayed in this hotel 3 times now (for the same reason). It is about 5 mins
walk to the centre from the hotel.
The hotel is cheaper than the others near the convention centre but is a fine
place to stay. It is a fairly standard hotel. rooms are fine, nothing out of the
ordinary. The Irish bar in the hotel is a good place to get a drink and doesn't
cause any noise in the hotel.
good place to stay and i will stay here again next time i come back.

We got the Skytrain from the train station to our hotel which was about a 5 min
walk away. Very good location and due to other reviews we did not have breakfast
at the hotel. Instead we took advantage of the many coffee shops within close
walking distance which was brilliant and less money than the hotel breakfast. We
had bottled water every day although don't leave the bottle in the fridge with a
tiny amount in as they wont give you another one! There was a computer with
printer in the lobby so were able to print our boarding cards! I We were on the
top floor facing the road so were a little hesitant about outside noise but in
actual fact it was fine - until the morning!! The cleaners have a staff room on
the top floor that has their washing machines etc in it so we were woken every
morning with the staff coming to work, chatting outside our room while they were
waiting for the lift and then the noise of their big trolleys being pushed into
the lift! They were in no way quiet what so ever and had no respect for visitors
who were most probably asleep at 7am.
However, the hotel was clean, comfortable and good value and would definitely
stay again but would request not to be located near the staff room!! can only
imagine what it would have been like to be located immediately next to or
underneath it!

I work in the hotel industry and for a different Brand and I want to say we
stayed here overnight to leave for a cruise the next morning. This is hotel is
perfect! It is very clean, comfortable, and the staff is one of the best I have
ever met.
Yes the hotel is not NEW but it has everything you need and more and does not
charge the high prices the newer hotels charge.
You cannot go wrong staying here. Great location, CLEAN, FRIENDLY what more can
you ask for.

We stayed recently in this Days Inn on a mini vacation to visit Vancouver and
environs.
Although this is a small property and somewhat dated it has been renovated in
the early part of 00''s. Our room was spacious and well appointed, including a
small fridge.
The hotel has a European flavor with one small elevator serving the 8 floors.
The staff was very courteous and helpful ( I had made an error on my
reservation).
There is a small restaurant in the lower level for breakfast. Although we chose
to go to one of the many food courts for breakfast.
The hotel is located 2 blocks from the harbour and is close to the
Vancouver Convention
Center.
All in all our stay was most enjoyable.
My only caution would be parking. Although the hotel offers valet parking
elsewhere, we opted for self parking in adjacent buildings. It was a bit of a
nightmare. Each lot having its own automated machine and tickets. My advice,
hold your breath, read the screen on the machine attentively (there may be a
second page) and read the ticket. It may go with you, it may stay in the car or
you may use it to pay for your stay. |
