Typical average Holiday Inn. Great central location if you're wanting a place close to University of British Columbia, Granville Island, Airport or even Stanley Park! Not bad view; spacious suite
Bare bones, Styrofoam cups with the coffeemaker sort of place. A very very beige place offering what one needs but completely without style or dash. Think of a government department running a hotel.

I stayed in this hotel a few days ago. My room was quite large, bed was comfortable, very clean (though the building looks a bit old and dirty from outside), location is good (about ten minutes to downtown by car, very central location). The price for a single room is about 100$, which is reasonable for a hotel in Vancouver. Some of the staff I met was very helpful, others were not particularly motivated. Parking costs additional breakfast was not included.

We stayed the night at this hotel for the location primarily. We were in town for the night to accommodate a day surgery my husband was having at VGH early the next morning. Exterior of the hotel not too impressive and hallways and rooms dated, but CLEAN. Staff very nice and could not ask for more. Price was in line for what we got. If I was staying for pleasure, would have picked a different location if I wanted to spend more money as well. Paid $165CDN taxes in. Did not eat there, so don't know how the restaurant is, menu looked good. Went up the road to Earl's and enjoyed it.

Stayed at the Holiday Inn on West Broadway very convenient location. Many locations to eat at and great view from balcony. Got some great pic's as sun came up capturing the light and the mountains. Had a nice walk to Q.E. park. Beautiful to view. Took shuttle bus from hotel to cruise dock.

Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. 5 star staff! Traveling alone with children I found restaurant staff very helpful. Delighted to find a coffee maker and a small fridge in my room. Desk chair was very uncomfortable so not good for work. Whole foods in the area and bus right outside front door. The room was a bit old but they are in the process of updating rooms. Balcony door did not lock but staff came and made it secure. We had a great view.

It was ok. The location wasn't great. Although they are with in walking distance of a beautiful Whole Foods and some good restaurants. They had a shuttle that only takes you out but doesn't pick you up and you have to pay like $10 for it. You have to pay for parking at the hotel. You have to pay for breakfast. The pillows are teensy like squares and I didn't sleep that well on the bed. You can hear the noise from other rooms and the street like the cross walk signals and we were even on the 11th floor. They didn't have a microwave or refrigerator which I need because I bought some groceries. The staff was pretty friendly. I was very satisfied with how quickly I could check in and get a room. There was free wi-fi in the lobby and it seemed fairly clean. I think it was overpriced though for what it was, next time I will probably stay in a B&B, but overall it wasn't bad.

Staff was helpful - they tried to compensate for not being close to the tourist area and downtown - by providing a one way shuttle. Not in the general downtown area. The staff were accommodating and helpful - it was not their fault that the hotel is not located in a good shopping or sightseeing area.

The hotel is well placed in the middle of the shopping area in walking distance of the harbour. Comfortable and spacious. The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly. It was perfect for me visiting the General Hospital only a few blocks away.

Was able to use my Priority Club points to stay here which was a big help to avoid hotel charge. Vancouver is expensive. The hotel is located away from downtown, but the bus service is good. This is an older facility, but is well maintained. Parking is $10 a day, but appears to be the only option. Car was safe.

My husband and I stayed here for a week in August. We had a queen bed room which was not large but certainly adequate and seemed to have been recently redecorated. Our room faced the road and was next to the elevator but noise was not a problem (although the icemaker outside our room seemed to run frequently). Hotel is not downtown but is in a bustling area with many restaurants. Area seemed very safe. The new SkyTrain route opens later this month which should be only about a 5 minute walk and will be a convenient connection to downtown and the airport.

I'm a little perplexed by some of the bad reviews as we had an excellent experience at this hotel, good service and clean and tidy. Exactly what you'd expect from a holiday inn.

Our family of 4 stayed one night using the "Park and Cruise" option. We parked the car in their lot for the 7 days of our cruise. The hotel has a nice pool, but the location is somewhat noisy. We had a fairly large room, but it badly needed updating and the carpet was stained. The ice machine in the hallway also was a bit noisy.

On the plus side, they provided transportation to the pier in a large van which was very convenient, and the taxi ride back to the hotel from the pier to pick up the car at the end of the cruise was only $11 for all of us and the luggage.

I stayed here for 2 nights and enjoyed it. The check-in was fast and polite, the room was very comfortable and the bed awesome and liked the pool has it was clean, and pretty nice for the hotel. The staff are nice and helpful. There is a taxi stand right outside the hotel and there is always at least one waiting. I went to an Italian place about a block east of the hotel on Broadway called Favouritos based on a recommendation from the front desk (It was amazing! pretty reasonable prices as well) and ate breakfast at the Denny's about 6 blocks to the west of the hotel on Broadway.

I wouldn't have found Canadian dollars 90 so valuable in hotel accommodation in the western cities. An excellent location if you want quiet, peaceful and well appointed neighborhood while the hustle and bustle vibrant city stampede is only across the bridge, within your sight. I stayed on the 12th floor, with a partial view of the sparkling city line, but that is enough. The walk to Granville Island in the mornings has never been so memorable: terraced town houses, each with a unique design, with rows of cherry blossoms providing shrouds. The area is lightly illuminated by the rising sun , a scene rare in city, but it is yours if you wake up earlier to take a stroll, joining the hurrying local.
The hotel may need a renovation, but everything essential is well maintained: splashing shower tap, armchair, and toilet. The room plus the washroom is very tidy and clean. Lobby is small, but not crowded, and not messy and noisy, representing the civilized quality of the hotel staff and guests. The front desk provides prompt and reliable service when asked to check flight schedule and messages.
If any improvement is to be implemented, I would suggest: a bigger TV screen and a slightly harder mattress. No glamorous decor needed, save whitewash and plastering, since this hotel serves real travellers: backpackers, stopovers, Canadians, family holiday-makers, seniors but not business men. We want a home away from home, and I believe the homes of most guests here don't own a palace.
Try the small shop serving chowder soup and sandwich. It is just a 5 minute walk across the street to the right of the hotel. Best buy, best soup, best service ever. I went there every afternoon in my three days' stay.

Hotel is a classic Holiday Inn, meaning it needs upgrading which I understand it will be getting before the 2010 Olympics. Great for Medical stay ~ comfort and convenient! A hot tub would be nice. But, rate was great, staff was friendly and efficient. Rooms were clean. Heater unit was noisy. Good transit connections to get around the city, and lots to do within walking distance.
