I would call The Tropicana "shabby chic". Slightly worn around the edges but, clean and full of character. The suite was comfy, very clean and I couldn't hear the neighbors at all. The kitchen was impeccably clean and supplied with dishes and cookware, all in clean working order. I could walk in my socks on the rug and they stayed... More

This all suite hotel is a mix of residents and guests. We were delighted to find a clean apartment with a wonderful staff who were very helpful. If you are looking for a multi-cultural experience in a multi-cultural city, this is your place. If you are a Holiday Inn type with prefab breakfast of junk food, you may want to... More

After a recommendation from a our group made a reservation at this hotel when we were traveling to Vancouver on business and added a personal day on to our trip. We knew that we were staying at a budget hotel but this was so "low-rent" that you couldn't pay me to stay there. The first impression was so deplorable we... More

This hotel does not appear to have had any updating since the 1970's. It might have been a three star when first opened, but is a zero star now. Filthy carpets, holes in the walls, holes in the sheets, no doors on the closets, rock hard mattresses, threadbare towels. Intense and nauseating smell of smoke. We had to sleep with... More

I am not sure why this hotel is only #72 of 108. I loved staying there. The lobby is very nice - clean and airy. The rooms are like little apartments, with a kitchenette and living room. There is a fridge and microwave, so you can bring home left overs from some of the great restaurants in the area, or... More

We stayed at the Tropicana for 3 nights at the end of August 2008. It was easy to find on Robson St (despite the road work being done further up Robson). We got a great parking spot right in front of check in and best of all, the parking spot was FREE. Free!!! That's a good value in a fairly... More

Like other previous reviewers we really liked the location. Also Carlos in the lobby was very helpful and nice. However, I guessed the people that stayed in the room before us had cooked fish, and the smell stayed with us for both days. Additionally, be aware that while you get a beautiful view the sliding doors that open to the... More

We just got back from a five night stay at the Tropicana in lovely Vancouver. You cannot beat the location of this hotel. Close to everything, no need for taxis. Right on gorgeous Robson Street where you'd normally spend double the price on the fancy hotels. Granted this is just a Motor Hotel, so it's not fancy. If you're fussy,... More

Pros: Unbeatable location, all you need is withing a walking distance. Staff is very friendly and ready to assist . Nice suites: one bedroom and sofa-bed in the living area, kitchen with utensils and fridge. Secured parking. Cons: Desperately in need for renovation and A/C installation. We stayed there for one night, but it was HOT night, since rooms gets... More

We stayed here for one night in august. We hadn't booked ahead so all we could get was a smoking room but it was fine. The rooms are pretty dated and could do with redecoration but they were clean. After spending a day in Stanley Park is was great not having far to walk to get to the hotel. It... More
