The last thing you should do is stay in this hotel. On arrival with our group there were people spilling out of the bar into the lobby, drunks and beggars in the street. You have to use your room key to access the lifts and stairs for security. The rooms are small and the air condioning units very noisy. The... more

A mixed bag this place. Much has been said in previous reviews about the location which to be honest I didn't find all that bad. If you walk down Granville toward downtown you will pass 3 or 4 sex shops, peep show places etc. but no more than that and no worse than may other European cities I have stayed... more

My husband & I booked three nights in this hotel because the price was better than others in the 3 star category, but believe me this is no 3 star hotel! Very seedy.. for the first time ever, we cancelled the 2nd and 3rd nights and moved elsewhere. It's no bargain. more

This place is a total crap hole. They claimed that they've just been renovated but all they really did was just a cheap face lift to cover up the inner structure issues, which you will soon discover when you step foot into the room. I've never had a worst experience even staying at a low quality motel. It's located in... more

we stayed in this hotel back in october and found it to be not that bad. some of the reviews on here make it out to be in a location that is like a vice area. if you are put off by peep shows then yes there are a couple across the road, and there are some beggars dotted around,... more

Hotel was nice and clean, decent included breakfast at the attached Wings restaurant and excellent value for money. It's only drawback really is the area in which it is situated - lots of "peep show" type places around and the location is generally rather seedy and well populated by suspiciously well dressed beggars. That said however, we didn't ever feel... more

The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel was comfortable enough although the room was quite small and the water wasn't particularly hot. My main concern was the area in which the hotel is situated. There are quite a number of x-rated venues around the hotel - not the ideal area for a family or a woman on her own... more

We stayed at the Howard Johnson as the price (especially) and the location were what we were after. It was our first time in Vancouver though. The Hotel itself is presentable, with a moderate size lobby, elevators to all floors and clean throughout. The rooms themselves are more on the small side than moderate, but with 2 double beds in... more

This was the worst hotel i have ever stayed at and i hope that no one has to put up with the same horrible experience that we had to endure. My husband and I are easy going and dont let much bother us, but this hotel... it was something else! As we walked to our hotel from where our bus... more
