“Great Location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

person found this review helpful

I stayed at the Howard Johnson from 25th December 2011 to 3rd Janaury 2012. The hotel staff were very friendly and went out of their way to be as helpful as possible. The location of the hotel is great as it is situated in the heart of Downtown easy walking distance from all attractions and the main shopping area and surrounded by many places to eat and drink.

I found the hotel to be clean and comfortable. The only critisim I would have is that there is a night club next door and on the 1 night I decided to have an early night, I was able to hear the music from the club. A pair of ear plugs would be a must for anyone not planning to take advantage of the night life and decides to head to bed early!

“Good Value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012

people found this review helpful

Came down for 10 days to volunteer for the Olympic Soccer qualifying, so price was the major factor. For the money it was excellent. It was just me, so the smallish room was fine, well kept, large bathroom, new flat screen tv, in room wifi which worked if a bit slow.
The Restaurant/Pub is excellent too (Wings). Granville is a transit corridor and buses stop right outside the hotel, while being 4blocks from Yaletown station on the Canada line.
(from the airport). It is an old building, but has had upgrades, and staff were very helpful.
I was here when it got down to minus 7C, and snowed, but The room was warm and the bed very comfortable. Above all, good location.

Room Tip: I was in 315 which is at the back of the building .No view but very quiet.

We booked a nice room for our anniversary weekend, and would certainly come again. The jaccuzzi was a nice feature... Very helpful and friendly staff, a nice place to stay, close to everything.
Great location withing the downtown, too.

“Central to everything”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 November 2011

This was a great place to stay in Vancouver. Our stay was short and we arrived at 5.30am and had booked for the night before. We were made most welcome with our room being checked before we booked in to make sure it was ok. This hotel was walking distance to most attractions including Gastown and Granville Island. A must on Granville Island is the shop that sells stone carvings from Zimbabwe. In the doorway is Harry the Hippo, who you cant help but rub his tummy. The carvings are absolutely magnificent especially when you talk to the proprietor and find out a little about the carvers history.

Room Tip: Facing the street was fine
