This was no doubt the nicest hotel we encountered on a recent two week vacation in the Northwest. Actually, we ended up here because the place we intended to stay was booked up, for which I'm grateful, as this hotel turned out to be a real gem!
The location is in the Salmon Creek area of Vancouver, and offers convenient access to both I-5 and I-205. With the freeways so close, it's easy to get most anywhere in the Vancouver/Portland area.
The front desk staff was exceptionally professional and friendly, and had fresh baked cookies waiting.
Everything from the lobby and common areas to the rooms themselves made for an upscale yet comfortable atmosphere. The rooms were spacious, attractive and well appointed. Housekeeping service was excellent, and the entire facility was clean from top to bottom, inside and out.
The complimentary continental breakfast was great, even offering a couple of hot items in addition to the standard Holiday Inn Express fare. The dining area was well stocked and serviced by a hostess.
The room rate we paid (we booked online, but with fairly short notice), was very reasonable. I would have expected to pay a little more for a property this nice.
The hotel made for a truly enjoyable and comfortable stay. I would highly recommend it.
