“Comfort by name comfort by use”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 19, 2012

We recently spent a night in the Comfort Inn. This is a renovated, older building in the entertainment area of Vancouver. Despite this, we found it to be quiet and, yes, comfortable.
The staff was very accommodating and pleasant. The room was very clean, however, the view let a lot to be desired. It overlooked an alley with the opposite building a hostel of some sort. despite this we would not hesitate to stay there again. The complementary breakfast was extensive and served in the adjoining Irish pub.

“Secure, clean and courteous!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 9, 2012

To begin, this is downtown Vancouver... don't expect a quiet, serene atmosphere outside. It is what it is.
However... this hotel was as security conscious as I've ever seen. Hotel parking is right outside the lobby windows. The elevator only works with a room card.
Our room (206) was an 'end' room.. so not near the elevator/ice machine area. If hotel schematics are true to form, don't get a room ending in '01'.. caveat emptor.
The room itself was clean, passed the 'bedbug check', and though others have said it was small, it was quite adequate! The room was 'L-shaped' and the couch and wardrobe area provided a nice 'staging' spot. ;)
I have read that it was 'Too noisy!", but they have a double window system that, if used, practically makes the room sound-free.
The staff was SOOO helpful! And is even mailing back my daughters phone charger she left behind.
The complimentary breakfast was pretty extensive and plentiful. Something for everyone! Even a self-serve fresh waffle bar! Some have said it was odd having the breakfast in the pub, but I found it quaint! It's a beautiful pub!
The bed.. I wanted to stuff in my suitcase :)
There's a mini-fridge.. but no microwave or leftovers (darn it!).
Loved the location! We were close to everything we wanted to see! Granville Island, Stanley Park, Gastown, and Robson Street.
All in all.. a delightful stay!
Front-desk favorite? Chris, he was as nice as can be! Even pointed us to a local vegetarian restaurant (for my daughter) that wasn't on our radar!

Room Tip: The higher the room number, the quieter the side...

“Great staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 29, 2012

Just spent 2 nights at the Comfort Inn, as a wheelchair user I was warned not great accessibility well as long as I accessed throught the bar it had level access and the one bedroom suite accommodated my wheels and family. Jesse, manager went above and beyond for service coming out in the pouring rain to move a sign in the parking lot so I could park - Thank you! All the staff were very friendly and the breakfast was well set up - we would love to stay again!

“Good clean hotel but the breakfasts were a letdown.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 27, 2012

Just come back from a 4 day stay in Vancouver after staying in Seattle for 5 days. The Comfort inn does exactly what it says on the tin. Comfortable bed, plenty of room, shower nice and hot and the "slight" downer is the view if you room is at the back as you are right next door to the Backpackers hotel. Don't mean to be snobbish about that but when you look out on to a multiple array of bunk beds and clothes hanging all over the room, I think you get my drift. Each to their own and whatever you can afford is fine by me. Only real niggle was the breakfast at the pub next door, Doolin's. Breakfast was Ok to a point but cold plates and air conditioning turned on when the weather outside is raining and only 10 c, please give me a break. A hot breakfast is supposed to be hot, not lukewarm. Hotel location is fine, nice and central for everywhere but look out for the down and outs around the town. They'll give you very good advice for getting round town for a few dollars and cents.

“Pretty good”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 27, 2012 via mobile

The rooms were nice and the staff was honest and helpful. The positives extras was the breakfast at the Irish pub and the location for night entertainment. Pub was bumping on Wednesday night, my dad loved it. The breakfast was also good at the pub in the morning. Yeah the egg thing sucked, but they have tea and oatmeal fruit waffle and such which is a good touch. The parking is also free which might be the biggest plus of them all for Vancouver. The negative was the wifi, the first night it was absolutely terrible. Other times it was slow and would boot you off which is frustrating. I scooped the very low end of the price range so I'd say 4 star deal for me but if I paid more its dropping to average quick.

Hello Cursive9,

Thank you for your review! I'm glad you enjoyed our hot breakfast! Concerning the internet, with the increasing demand for WiFi, we are planning some major changes to the system which should not only increase signal strenght but also bandwith. This should be improved in the next short while. I hope this did not affect your stay.

Thank you,
Chris
