Guest Review of the Pan Pacific Hotel Vancouver

July 10, 2011
Just spent 5 days here and the hotel by far had the best views of the
water and was adjacent to Gastown. Staff was wonderful. If you are
staying in Vancouver this is the the hotel to be in without question.
Would stay in this hotel again if only it was not in Vancouver. This
city does indeed have beautiful views and side trips to Victoria to see
Butchart Gardens) are worthwhile as well as doing the whale watching
from Vancouver (thru Wild Whales) and seeing the Capilano Suspension
Bridge and zipling at Grouse Mountain.. But be aware that this city is
overrun with the homeless and the police make zero effort to move them.
They are everywhere. You simply cannot walk a block with out being
approached by at least 3 of them and some are not happy at all when you
walk by without giving them something. We have never seen anything
approaching this problem in North America and it ruined our trip. A
local resident told us that other municipalities in Canada actually bus
them here as the weather is more pleasant year round and that way they
don't die off during the winters. The city is like a checkerboard, one
street is safe and pleasant and the next one is sparsely occupied but
one thing is consistent.... you will be approached by the homeless
regardless of where you are and that is a real problem and makes the
whole area feel unsafe.

Stayed at the Vancouver Pan Pacific at the end of our Alaska cruise. We
wanted to see a little of Vancouver and it fit better at the end. It
worked out just as we planned. We disembarked in the last group, went
through customs, and had a very short walk with our luggage to the
entrance of the hotel. There was a Pan Pacific staff member waiting on
that floor to check our luggage since it was only about 10:30 a.m. The
staff was very nice! The hotel is beautiful, clean, and comfortable. We
walked to nearby Gastown and by the time we got back our room was ready.
I know this is an expensive hotel but all the hotels in Vancouver are
expensive and if you are staying post cruise this is so stress free.
Would stay again, but the farther out you book the less you pay! Parking
is another $30!

We stayed at the Pan Pacific for two nights before our recent cruise. It
was a perfect hotel for our needs. Our rooms were spacious, spotless and
very comfortable. The concierge desk was a great resource for restaurant
and local travel recommendations. It was a great location for sight
seeing in Vancouver and it was thrilling to wake up and watch our ship
pulling into the pier the morning of our cruise!

I booked this hotel for a concert so just the one night. I booked the
inner harbour deluxe view room. I had not stayed there since they opened
for Expo 86. I luved the hotel when it opened. Two weeks before I was to
check in I had to change plans and attend my fathers funeral back east.
I gave my tickets and hotel to my daughters. I gave their names in
advance to the front desk and asked they use my credit card (on file).
When they arrived they were not treated welcome. There was confusion as
to who they were and were quickly re-accommodated to a "street-city
view". In addition they demanded a credit card. My daughters indicated
the room was nice, but no ocean view and the service was just not there.

We stayed at the Pan Pacific hotel for 4 nights, checking in on Canada
Day (1st of July). The hotel is beautiful – slightly dated, but still
luxurious. We stayed on the 11th floor and were upgraded to an ocean
facing room. We had the best possible view you could ever get. Our rate
didn’t include breakfast, but there are so many restaurants on Davey
street (20 minute walk from hotel) and in Gastown that I actually
preferred sampling a different restaurant every day than paying an
extortionate amount to eat at the hotel. Plus if you don't want to spend
a lot of money, you cant beat Tim Hortons donuts and sandwiches.
The gym was perfect, with brand new equipment, treadmills, a rowing
machine and plenty of Swiss balls. The outdoor swimming pool and Jacuzzi
were also very nice, albeit quite small and always busy. But we managed
to enjoy a dip or two.
The Aveda products in the bathroom were really nice and the bed was very
comfy. The bathroom is huge but the shower is not that great – it’s not
a power shower. The room was spacious and spotlessly clean.
We loved Vancouver and the hotel’s central location helped. We went to
Stanley Park, the Aquarium, English Bay, Davey Street, Robson Street,
Gastown, South Main, Kitsilano, Granville Island. It helped that we have
friends living in Vancouver, so we got to see quite a few places.
Pan Pacific is pricey, but we found a good deal online. One downside is
that there’s no free internet. Also no free parking for guests of the
hotel, which made us change our plans about renting a car. The hotel is
in a safe area, but walking around downtown Vancouver, you do come
across lots of homeless people and drug addicts – mostly harmless, yet
it’s astounding how many homeless people live on the streets.
Lots of good cheap sushi restaurants all over town. Particularly the
restaurants on Davey street were amazing and affordable. Very good
Japanese, Greek, Italian restaurants scattered all over the city. |
