“A Hidden Gem”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012
3
people found this review helpful

In my opinion the BEST WESTERN PLUS Uptown Hotel is a hidden gem. A great hotel just outside the centre but bus stops right outside if you don't have a car but you can easilly walk into the centre between 25-35 mins depending how energetic you feel. Everyone who worked at the hotel was really nice from the front desk to the cleaners. The rooms are comfortable,clean and quiet. Yes sometimes the breakfast room is crowded but just take it to your room or sit in reception. Also some people say the car park is small but never had any bother getting parked but there are plenty of street parkingplaces available.

“near the hospital”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2012
3
people found this review helpful

If for some reason you are needing to stay near the hospital, this is a good location. The room was very nice and comfortable. The breakfast was very good. Near lots of shopping. It's only a 5 min drive from the hospital. They give a very good rate as well if you are there because of treatments, check ups or whatever. Not far from the sky station

Room Tip: ask for room on the quiet side, sometimes it's good to get the top floor as well so you dont hea...

“One of the best I've stayed at”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2012

people found this review helpful

Stayed here for 1 night before moving to downtown to start a Canadian Rockies tour. This hotel was really nice, the room was comfortable, clean and modern. I was on a 3 month trip so I knew what a good room was when I saw it.
The bathroom was also nice and so was breakfast. The location was good, I was in the area sightseeing and the places I were going to were right around this. It felt like a safe area, not that I was out too late as I was exhausted from flying in earlier that day. I even had a local woman point out places to visit as we were waiting for the lights to change right outside the hotel. So the people were also very nice here too. Vancouver was a lovely place and so pretty, thankfully so was the hotel.

“affordable pleasant stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2012
3
people found this review helpful

I love the 4th floor's high ceiling: looks great and full of fresh air in the room. The room cen not be any cleaner! It was spotless! The breakfast was nicer than I thought:lots of fresh pastries, my favorite! The juice, coffee, hot water was avaliable most time of the day, not just at breakfast hours. The front desk agent was nice to apply a Best Western membership card for me while checked in, so I was able to receive some points after the stay. Perfect location to stay after my dad had an eye surgery at a nearby hospital and need to re-check at the eye care center not far away on the next early morning.

The only Downside is: Double beds are too small and next door's noise were easy to hear and bothered me a bit at nightime......

Room Tip: Strongly suggest the 4th floor with high ceiling.

Thank you for taking the time to provide a review of our hotel,

I am very pleased that you had an enjoyable stay with us especially under the circumstances. I am most happy that you enjoyed our breakfast as it is one of the items we are constantly looking to improve and hope that in the near future we will be able to offer a much enhanced product.

As for the size of the beds, unfortunately with the current size of the rooms we cannot offer rooms with 2 queen beds. We do have tentative plans for the future and if they come to fruition will include rooms with 2 queen beds rather then 2 doubles.

Thank You,

Located on Broadview and Main, close to Grandville ave with lots of shops and dining, easy to get downtown without having to pay high prices. Secure, underground parking is free and continental breakfast is inlcuded. Handy shopping mall across the road. Good value for a budget hotel.

Thank you very much for providing a review of our hotel, I am glad to hear you had a pleasant stay at our hotel and found its location to be convenient. With the Canada Line being introduced for the Olympics the Mount Pleasant Neighborhood has really begun to evolve and getting to Downtown, Gastown, Yale Town and Cruise Terminal is now easier then ever, not to mention the convenience of the #19 bus that takes you directly to Stanley Park or Metro town and stops just 1 1/2 blocks away from the hotel

Once again I'd like to thank you for taking the time to provide this review and we hope to see you again in the future.

Sincerely,
