We work in downtown Vancouver, but last night my step-son's graduation
ceremony was downtown, and coincided with the final game of the NHL
Stanley Cup series (Vancouver/Boston) and since we live 40 km out of
town, we decided to stay downtown, watch the game on TV in our room and
then walk to the Convention Centre for the Graduation dinner/dance.
Checking into the hotel in the early afternoon the staff were so
friendly and helpful, saying what a good idea it was to be staying
downtown as with the expectation that more than 100,000 people were
going to be in the downtown core for the game, driving home had the
potential to be crazy.
Our room was beautiful, spacious and clean. We watched most of the game,
but as our team was obviously not going to win, we left before it was
over to get to the graduation. Part way through dinner we started to
hear reports of a riot that had broken out in the city due to the crowds
downtown for the game. As it turned out, the police closed all access by
vehicle to the city, and if we hadn't booked a hotel we could have been
stuck for hours.
When the dinner was over, we called the hotel to ensure that we could
safely get in, and they assured us that access to their street was still
safe. But a security guard was at the door to make sure only registered
guests were entering the building. Once back in our room, we were far
enough away from the craziness that it was fairly quiet, and we watched
in horror on the news what people were doing to our beautiful city.
Thank you Delta Hotels for having a room for us, it wasn't quite the
downtown get-away night we were expecting - but we were very grateful
for the stay.
Room Tip: Great location, easy access to everything

Don't be turned off by the awkward lobby, this staff is eager to please
and they are selling a great product. Comfy bed, well soundproofed
walls, at least in my larger upper floor suite. Chris and Zach were
especially helpful. The restaurant food was excellent albeit sometimes
slow in coming. I don't like hotels, being a light sleeper, but I was OK
here!

This hotel is located at the best location in town. You are walking
distance from all major tourist spots. If you are a runner, or a good
walker, you could probably get to Stanley Park from here.
Service - Excellent; Room - a bit small, but clean and modern; Price -
bit overpriced, but what isn't in Vancouver? Manager Chris was great.

Since we put our foot at the Delta we have received the best possible
service.

We spent 2 nights here in September 2010 as part of a driving tour of
the Pacific Northwest. We picked the hotel due to it's location,
availability of parking and reasonable rate. The hotel was easy enough
to find off the street, and we followed signs down into the underground
car park. In hindsight, it might have been better to stop off at the
hotel entrance first of all to off-load our bags and maybe check-in. I
mention this because the car park is a public car park for which hotel
guests get a parking permit for the duration of their stay. There is NO
signage for the hotel entrance inside the car park, and we did find it
confusing - not to say a bit awkward - getting back up to the hotel
reception with our large suitcases.
Reception was professional and friendly and we soon checked in (with our
complimentary cookies!). Our room was on one of the higher levels and
was very well appointed in a snazzy, modern style. We particularly liked
the way the suite was laid out with a separate sleeping and lounge area
with very comfortable arm chairs. Our view looked out across the street
to the Vancouver Lookout tower, which we went up twice (once during the
afternoon, then again in the evening after dinner)
We'd heard mixed reports about the hotel location, but we were very
pleased to be so close to the renowned
Gastown historic area. This area
comes alive at night and had a superb selection of restaurants and
cafe's - all within walking distance of the hotel.

The
Delta Vancouver Suites has been consistently great. I've stayed here
3 times in the past 3 years. Rooms are always nice / clean, service is
friendly and efficient, food is good (if pricey) and location can't be
beat. Highly recommend signing up for the privileges program, which
costs nothing but provides perks and worthwhile loyalty incentives.
