My husband and I, along with both sets of our parents, spent several days here while in Vancouver for our son's graduation. We had three rooms, and we all thought our rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable. My in-laws were lucky enough to have a refrigerator in their room. This wasn't available in all rooms, so travelers might want to... More

We stayed for two nights recently and was a bit leary of the location which, although handy to downtown is not that attractive. But it is close to downtown, many attractions etc. and was much quieter than I had anticipated. Best of all, we were very surprised by our room which was upgraded from the queen I requested. The room... More

This hotel is in a good position to visit downtown Vancouver and Granville Island which is not too far away. The hotel itself offered comfortable accomodation at a reasonable price and the biggest and best in town was extremely acceptable.The rooms were of good size and the continental breakfast offered was of good quality although the breakfast area itself was...

Quiet area south of downtown. Stayed here 2 weeknights while visiting UBC. Great north Vancouver mountain view from my 4rth floor room. Easy access to downtown bridge and situated on main street west to UBC. Far enough from commotion of downtown and campus for relaxing stay. Small grocery store and other necessity stores within walking distance. Fron desk staff very... More

When I booked this hotel on Hotwire.com, they told me it was a 3 star. Upon arrival, it clearly wasn't. The hotel is old, rundown, small, dirty and outdated. This hotel should be ashamed of themselves. A 3 star, give me a break, that's got to be a joke. I've stayed at plenty of 3 star hotels which I will... More

I am deeply sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your stay with us, the building itself is now just 12 years old (opened in September 2012) and many of the items you have mentioned have been addressed not that long ago. The beds for example are just 3 years old and are among the best that our manufacturer... More

I have to say I was kicking myself for months wishing I had booked a hotel closer in to the downtown area. [By the way - I NEVER stay at Best Westerns in the U.S., so this was rare.] They list this as "downtown south" - way south of downtown is more like it. The area is clearly neighborhood-y, and...
