My business partner and I travelled to the city for a two day seminar. The Howard Johnson hotel on Granville street was recommended by a relative as a central place for our stay. We spent half days in the hotel before heading out and returned each eveing to a vibrant and fun transformation of the downtown strip. The hotel has... More

I've stayed here a few times while visiting Vancouver, and have no complaints at all...a reasonably priced hotel in downtown van...don't expect 5-star, 'cause that's not what they offer. Decent rooms/beds, in room wi-fi (a wee bit slow), very good house-keeping. Numerous restaurants within walking distance, so whatever your taste, you'll find it! You are downtown, so do expect "downtown... More

We were awake until after 3:30 a.m. because of street noise. The previous reviewer clearly didn't have my experience, because I realize it's a busy area but it was louder than a club. Outside our window a few stories down at 3:30 a.m. there was a party bus parked for over half an hour blasting rap music louder than in... More

We stayed at this hotel for 4 nights recently and were very pleased with the location which is in the heart of the city. The room rate was excellent for the location. The hotel is basic so if you are looking for a little bit of extra luxury then this is not for you. This hotel is ideal if you... More

This hotel is a great location for visiting Vancouver but it can be noisy with thumping music coming from some unidentifiable place and inter-room noise was significant on occasions. When the disco wasn't on and my neighbours were quiet then the bed was fantastically comfortable. Staff were understanding....but no discount for the noise!They told me next time to ring them...

We got this last minute the day before and it was very cheap so I guess you get what you pay for. Very basic room with a somewhat uncomfortable bed but for the price no complaints. The area is pretty lively at night so avoid if that sort of thing bothers you. It's very close to all the places you... More

I stayed one night at this hotel while in transit to Victoria. The hotel felt worn and tired, the room was cold and poorly equipped. I was woken in the night to what sounded like a mouse scratching or eating something (the noise stopped when I would switch on the light). The front desk staff were perfunctory in the their... More
