I chose this hotel partly based on the good reviews on TA, and partly because most hotels in Vancouver charge up to $30/night for parking. Parking is free here, and there is easy access to anywhere you want to go in the Vancouver area. It is also only a couple of blocks from the Exhibition.
All of the staff here are very friendly and several took the time to stop and get to know us a bit. The hotel looks like it has been recently renovated, although there seem to be parts that haven't been upgraded yet. (the sauna was closed)
Everything was clean, but there was a bit of an odour in the laundry room, which looks like it used to be a washroom. There is only one guest washer & dryer, so I had to juggle my laundry time with another guest. The breakfast was a typical hotel continental breakfast. It was always well supplied, and there was lots of food to go around.
When we arrived, we were upgraded to a suite, which was a wonderful surprise. Like the rest of the hotel, our room was very clean and looked like it had been renovated fairly recently. We had a street view room, and while we could hear a lot of street noise during the day, it quieted down a fair bit at night. We were able to drown out what noise was left with the air conditioner, and slept very well in the comfortable beds.
We will stay here again if we are even in the Vancouver area again. Thank you to the staff for making our stay enjoyable!
