Hotel Review of the Vancouver Lions Gate Travelodge
Dec 31, 2010
We stayed at this hotel for two night while visiting family in Vancouver over
Christmas. The room was spacious, clean and the bed was super comfortable.
However, I think what made this stay exceptional, was the customer service.
Everyone from the woman at the front desk, the housekeeper, to the manager were
beyond friendly and made us feel very welcome.

I have stayed at the NV Travelodge twice now. You can't beat the internet
prices, but don't expect this to be a Las Vegas Hotel, it's not. It's an older
Motel, but it's clean, convenient and easy access to Grouse Mountain, the North
Shore and Vancouver.
I booked based on price, and was happy. The bed was decent, the room was older
but very clean and the lady at the front desk was a sweetie and very polite.
I ticked the box for a restaurant, but there isn't one. However there is a
Denny's right next door and the motel offers a coupon for a deal on food there.
While Denny's is pretty simple food, hey, a deal's a deal, right?

This was one of the worst places we nearly stayed at. The room was disgusting.
The place was generally falling to bits. An absolute dump. It has made us adopt
the policy of avoiding booking online trusting a name like Travelodge to
checking the room before booking. The receptionist was was of the most
unhelpful, unprofessional people we have dealt with. We didn't even get the
cases out of the car. We requested a refund 30 mins after paying for the room.
The receptionist rang the manager to tell him we was not happy and he didn't
even question, just told her to refund. Avoid like the plague!!!!!

I cannot work out what went wrong here, having read the other reviews. Our room
was not very clean, BOTH of the rooms were smoking rooms ( I thought that was
illegal in N America/Canada? ), which apparently can happen if you book through
Expedia. They DID spray them both with air fresheners, as they were full and
couldn't move us, but it was noisy, dingy, one of the lights didn't work, the
bathroom was not very clean - it was only one night, so it didn't matter, but on
a 17-night road trip this was the worst place we stayed at. By some way.

We were in Vancouver for a quick overnight and looking for a reasonably priced
place for the night near the cruise ship port. The Lions Gate Travelodge fit
that need. Upon arrival we were somewhat surprised as our accommodations
surpassed our expectations. Our room was dated and somewhat worn, but
exceptionally clean with a comfortable bed and a AC that unit worked well
without any excess noise so that we could use the fan at night for noise
suppression, which as it turned out was unnecessary because t he place was
pretty quiet. While they did not serve breakfast on site the 20% percent
discount at the neighbouring Denny’s provided what was likely a better meal.
This Travelodge is one we would stay in again.

There was a long wait to check in (they need more staff). We arrived late and
needed to be out early or WE WOULD HAVE LEFT! There was HAIR IN THE SHOWER upon
arrival!
No elevator and NO BREAKFAST. The room was Ok otherwise.

We decided to take a day trip to Vancouver, so I booked a 2 double-bed room for
myself, wife and son Saturday morning. When we arrived, around 8pm to check in,
I was informed that the 2 double bed rooms were all gone (but then, what is the
point of making and paying for a reservation?). The desk clerk told me she'd
give me a king bed with a fold-out sofa at the same price, like it was a favor.
The room was behind the lobby and seemed to be a converted storage area. The
lighting was nauseating, like a storage facility. My wife opened a bar of soap
and found a long hair inside - do they rewrap soap bars? The ceiling above the
bed had industrial tape holding it together. The AC was badly damaged and
lacking labels - I asked the desk clerk when she came by with a new bar of soap
what the settings were, but not being very proficient in English, she couldn't
really explain it to me. There was a sliding door, which opened to reveal some
left over lumber and an industrial machine, further confirming that this room
was once a storage unit. There were extension cords everywhere, as if it was
someone's apartment. The bed was uncomfortable (I didn't want to fold out the
sofa, since so much else was skeevy) And all this cost us only $136. For that
kind of money, I'm sure I could've found better accommodations and for a bit
more money a much better hotel class.

Budget motel located in North Vancouver just over the Lions Gate Bridge, a quick
drive into Stanley Park and downtown. Good location for getting on the highway
to Whistler. Shopping mall and restaurants and gas stations a few blocks away.
Paid ~$65 + tax for 3 nights. Room was sufficiently spacious. No microwave or
mini-fridge. Although it was a non-smoking room, the sheets didn't smell fresh.
Air conditioner worked very well but was a bit loud. No bathtub, just a small
cramped shower. Shampoo, conditioner, soap, and sewing kit were provided. The
ice machine was located on the first floor. Walls were thin, and the TV could be
heard from the next room, and people walking by outside could also be heard.
The Denny's restaurant next door gave a 20% discount when you show your room
key. Free wireless internet and free parking.
