“Nice Hotel, but Location has Pros and Cons”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 2, 2013

This is a clean hotel with spacious rooms and comfortable beds. We had free parking and a complimentary hot breakfast at the neighbouring pub. It is located off Granville Street in Vancouver's downtown and as we parked an intoxicated man was berating the policemen who were arresting him. Vancouver's downtown has many troubled people and I occasionally checked to see if my car was broken in to. Our room was next to the elevator shaft and stairs and on December 23rd the elevator was broken. From about 5:00 am onwards we were treated to the sounds of people banging their suitcases down the stairs. We told the front desk but they were overwhelmed with complaints from people trying to take their luggage down from the top floors, so our complaint was treated with indifference. I would recommend this hotel if you have the option to stay away from the elevator. Also, I would not want to park overnight at this location again.

Room Tip: Go away from elevator!

“Comfortable and convenient”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 1, 2013

This affordable little gem in the heart of Vancouver has what you need. Our room was clean and quiet. A buffet breakfast was included as was WiFi. The staff are helpful and friendly. Parking is in an open adjacent lot, but there were no problems during our stay. We would recommend this hotel for a short stay.

Room Tip: This hotel only has 6 floors, so upper rooms are probably quieter.

“Wonderful Experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 22, 2012

The Comfort Inn went out of their way to meet changing travel plans. Rather than the single queen we had booked, we needed two beds and we were upgraded to a suite for the same price. We had a king bed, sleeper sofa, fireplace, robes, breakfast and free parking at a bargain rate. All personnel were courteous and helpful. It was within easy walking distance of sites. Felt we were in a 5-star hotel.

“You get what you pay for”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 17, 2012

I got a pretty good deal off their website that included parking and gift cards to the pub next door (Doolin's). It's a Comfort Inn though. The rooms were tiny and not super clean. The elevator was also pretty loud and we could hear it while we slept. The bar next door was convenient. The location was also nice. Oh, and the heater did not turn off! We tried to turn on the AC because the room was so hot and stuffy, but the temperature would not go below 75!

Room Tip: The rooms with the queen size beds are very tiny.

“Met expectations for the price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 16, 2012

This hotel offered a good value for a good location right in the downtown area entertainment district. Shops, restaurants and venues were in easy walking distance. The pluses for this hotel are that it is relatively new, clean and comfortable. The downside is that the rooms are noisy from other guests In the hall, and that stupid noisy ice maker. Also it sounded like there were a herd of buffaloes in the room above mine.

Room Tip: Lower floors may get noise from the adjacent Irish bar.
