Between Christmas and New Year we decided to hop off Vancouver Island and visit the big city :)

We wanted a place that allowed our family to enjoy each other's company rather than be placed in separate hotel rooms. This was a great choice when the cost is split across 2 families.

2 couples and 2 teenagers fit perfect in this 'condo' accommodation. As described in many reviews the place is spacious. We loved having a 'dining area' which provided more open space for all of us to sit, for relaxing and for the meals that were easily made in the kitchen. 1 large King bed room with ensuite, decent Queen bed room, pullout sofa couch and main bathroom, kitchen, living, dining plus a small covered in patio area. The 7th floor worked out great although I did try to get higher (was told the available rooms weren't in good repair at the time).

The place was very clean and tidy, not luxurious but certainly not dowdy. The breakfast was a very basic continental - cereal/breads/danishes/banana or apple, coffee and juice but if you team that up with some groceries in your kitchen you can start your day off right. I think they should add some protein - yogurts and boiled eggs, cheese strings. No pool, being renovated but if we wanted to walk to another hotel....? We didn't.

The underground parking did look a bit dodgy LOL You drive around the back, turn right, where its a bit rough and there was a lot of construction which when workers were there the gate wasn't always closed. We didn't experience any problems, it just looked a little unsavoury around there.

We visited Capilano Suspension bridge which although we choked at the $30 entrance fee, thoroughly enjoyed. There are nice boardwalk trails, a treetop suspension walk and the bridge itself. We had great fun taking pictures and hanging out as a family. Even the teenagers weren't bored.

However, Grouse Moutain was a big disappointment. $40 each to go up the cable car!! There were a few actiities if you weren't skiing but very busy and not well organized (sleigh ride). We could only afford to send 2 of our group up there and thank goodness only 2 because it was so foggy and overcast they couldn't get any photo's. For non-payers who stay at the bottom, you can sit at Starbucks and also view the 3 wolves they have protected onsite. We caught feeding time and the staff gave us some history on these 3 'movie' stars who are now enjoying their retirement.

Vancouver is always lots of fun and I'd return to this hotel again if we travelled as a large family where the cost can be split and more space is needed.

Our family of five stayed in a two bedroom/two bathroom suite for a week in December 2011, we enjoyed this hotel immensely. There was plenty of room for all of us to move, very well planned out apartment. The bedrooms are separated so if you are two couples, it would be very comfortable. Great BIG kitchen, bathroom big too. Wonderful views all around. Extra eating space on little patio. Staff at front desk were always wonderful. As we were new to this country and asked many questions, always available with the answers. Nice and convenient to downtown and the ferry to Granville Island, we got a taxi to Capilano Suspension bridge and it didn't cost all that much. Our only disappointment was that the pool and spa and gym were under renovation and that was one of the reasons for booking this hotel, the nice looking pool, it was under renovation when I booked it many, many months before and was supposed to be well and truly finished. We stayed a week, could have used that pool many times. Breakfast was included and that was a great bonus and we enjoyed it immensely.
Would stay again.

We stayed here last weekend for just a night for a quick trip from Seattle and needed two bedrooms for our family of four, plus my parents. The unit was very spacious and comfortable for us all, and the master bedroom was large enough for two pack'n'plays (supplied by the hotel) for our two year old and 5 month old. Huge master bath with double sinks, tub and separate shower. Decor/furnishings were in good shape. Parking was $20 a night. We did not use the kitchen but I checked the drawers and there isn't a whole lot supplied, mainly some dishes and basic counter top appliances. Not even paper towels or kitchen towels as far as I could find. My mom, who is a clean freak and basically lives on tea, did not appreciate some of the stains she found on the handle of the electric tea kettle. G sports bar is two blocks away on Granville, the one sports bar in the city where you can watch other sports (we were looking for a place that had the Rose Bowl on) besides hockey. It was pouring the entire trip, so even though the location is a bit farther to walk to the sights of Stanely Park, for example, had we had time to go there anyway we probably would have driven.

I stayed in the 2 bedroom apartment with my family in December '11. I was very happy with the hotel in every regard.

The rooms are spacious and clean, with a nice view of the city, especially at night. They are comfortable and equipped with kitchen facilities which is very convenient. The location was good, easy walking distance from the 'Down Town Vancouver' train stop, even with heavy bags. There are a range of cafes etcetera near by and a 7-11 literally next door (across the road).

The hotel manager was friendly and efficient but could have perhaps been a little more helpful when we arrived a bit earlier than expected.

Overall very happy with the stay and Vancouver in general.
