Considered staying at a more expensive waterfront hotel, but opted for something closer to Stanley Park - so glad we did. This was a great value in a fantastic location. No frills, but extremely clean. Steps away from the beach at English Bay. We rented bikes at the shop across the street and rode the entire Stanley Park loop -... More

I recently stayed in a Best Western Plus in Courtenay. I am a Best Western card holder and even though I had booked through hotel.com they upgraded me and added award points to my card. They served a free breakfast. They took a credit card security swipe of less than $140. The rooms were modern, clean, quiet and well appointed.... More

You cannot beat the location! Right at Stanley Park in the English Bay area. Great hotel to walk from to anywhere in downtown Vancouver. My meetings were over in the Hyatt off Robson, about a 25 minute walk which really started every day just right. Around the hotel are many awesome restaurants on Denman St; pretty well anything you're looking... More

I want to thank you for your review. The central location allows one to be close to the heart of the city and in your case allowed you to have that clear head prior to starting a busy day. Thank you once again and we hope to see you again soon. More

If you are looking for a location that will take you to Stanley Park and Granville Island, this is the one for you. Its location is perfect, close to many many restaurants and pubs. The room we stayed in was a one bedroom suite on the 5th floor facing the mountains (away from the busy street). It was very quiet.... More

If I had an issue, they dealt with it efficiently and with a smile. I too had an issue with the construction. Some mornings it was an 8 a.m. start time, others, a 7:30 a.m. start time... More

It is against the law in the city of Vancouver to start construction any time before 8am. Monday to Friday. Not sure what you heard? If any guest do hear sounds from this site before 8am please let us know immediately. More
