Guest Review of the Granville Island Hotel |
|
July 10, 2011 We were tipped off to the Property by some good friends. Last time we were in town in April it was full up. We got lucky and bought a 3 day package and stayed in one of the suites. My wife and I were sooo relaxed and slept like babies on the Rest Well bed. Love this place! Guest Review of the Granville Island Hotel July 8, 2011 We really did not enjoy staying in this hotel. The location on Granville Island is unique, and this hotel seems to have a monopoly there, but it was not worth the outrageous prices for the room, food, and drinks. For just the room and taxes, and after the exchange rate, the tiny room costs $311 (US). I would have enjoyed a Motel 6 more. This hotel has a cold chrome, steel, and glass decor that made me feel uncomfortable. The rooms were so small that I had to step out into the hall if I wanted to change my mind. The weird mini-balcony looked out over a noisy outdoor bar scene. The shower didn't work properly, and the response of the staff at the front desk ranged somewhere between indifference and surliness. The staff must have had a bad few days before we arrived. We couldn't wait to leave this place...........and won't ever be back. Guest Review of the Granville Island Hotel June 27, 2011 We had a family dinner downtown and wanted to treat ourselves to a stay overnight so we could enjoy a few drinks and not worry about driving. Normally I would book the Fairmont Pacific Rim - which is glorious hotel perfection for only $60 more a night, but wanted something closer to Yaletown for brunch the next day. My BIG mistake in taking a chance on the Granville Island Hotel. This is a tired, dated hotel in a fantastic location in desperate need of either demolition or a more complete renovation. Looks like after they renovated the bathrooms (quite nicely done), they ran out of money. For $300+ a night we were transported back to 1982, complete with popcorn ceiling, mirrored walls, huge A/C units hanging crooked off the wall. Chipped and worn cherry (really...cherry??) furniture with gold hardware, old baseboards and cracked doors. Eeee gawds. The A/C by the way, sounded like a 747 engine that would suck through a seagull every 2-3 minutes - we turned it on, laughed until some tears came and turned it off. Thus we couldn't use it for sleeping and sweltered all night. I think the guests above us used theirs though, and it sounded like somebody dragging a table across the floor all night. Did not sleep - at all. Almost left at 3am. They have a brewery on site and the tanks line the 2nd floor interior space - again, something that could be really cool, but they semi-hide it behind frosted glass and it's full of cardboard boxes and junk. Nice. If you have something like that, showcase it - clear glass, keep it spotless and show off your equipment. Somebody with some vision could turn this into a world class hotel - the location on False Creek is great, but not utilized as it should be. As it stands they are just trading on the location. Sad. Would not recommend. Guest Review of the Granville Island Hotel June 23, 2011 We stayed at this hotel on the way to our cruise boat to Alaska. We liked it so we book a room for the day we got back from Alaska also. There was a great market on the island and walking paths. The Marina was great to take a short ride around False Creek. Guest Review of the Granville Island Hotel June 21, 2011 We stayed at the Granville Island Hotel for 2 nights in early June 2011 and really enjoyed it. It is a small-medium sized hotel in the perfect location. Granville island is on the Vancouver waterfront and is idlyic. The hotel is clean, comfortable and friendly and I would recommend it to anyone. I would 'though suggest you book early and if possible get in on any of their deals. We booked late and although enjoyed our time felt it was a little pricey, and considering they don't do breakfast for the price either. That said the Granville Island food market is amazing and is more than you could want for breakfast or lunch, and the little ferry boats shoot you across the harbour. I would also recommend to everyone to walk around Stanley park as it is gorgeous and gives you a very different feel to the city. Room Tip: Obviously the water view rooms are best. |
