stayed at this hotel for 5 nights in April and had a good stay overall. Very good value for money for downtown Vancouver, although at the bottom of downtown. They accommodated an early check in for us and even though there is a construction site across the alley, our 2nd floor room facing the site was very quiet and we... More

This hotel was chosen for us by our tour company as part of a short tour of Canada - but if I was staying in Vancouver I would stay there again! The front desk staff are excellent and very knowledgeable about getting around Vancouver sight seeing. The room, whilst not the biggest in size had everything we wanted and needed.... More

Hotel has everything, very friendly staff, We liked the key card being used for elevator! Safety is always very important. We stayed on 2nd floor , no view. Have stayed on upper floors prior. Great views of Granville and the City! Get an upper floor unit. We like the ability to do laundry on top floor, the ping pong table... More

Stayed here for 3 nights and I was totally impressed. Although this is a Best Western with the standard Best Western decor, the accomodations can easily match many 4 stars hotels.The only thing missing from a 4 stars experience is a grand lobby and turn down service, and who really cares about that anyway? Whoever manages this hotel definitely is... More

I was in Vancouver for a week for a business convention. Staff were friendly and housekeeping was great. The free bikes and the free downtown shuttle is a big plus. A construction site is nearby but it wasn't that noisy. A great bargain overall. More

We stayed here for 2 nights pre-cruise at the end of april. Originally I had booked the cruise transfer package, but changed to just a AAA discount when I saw the price discount. We did not need transportation from the airport, just a short cab ride from the train station. For us it made sense to pay for the items... More

The rooms were clean and the bathrooms were tidy, however my one complaint was that I found it somewhat humid in the room. We were there wtih a large group of people for a bachelor party, and there were no complaints. More

The room was great, although there is construction outside (condos) we didn't hear much noise. We didn't have a chance to take the complimentary bikes out but instead was able to walk everywhere except the Aquarium in Stanley Park (mainly due to weather). The White Spot restaurant was superb and again staff efficient and friendly! We had a wonderful first... More
