I and my friends planned to stay more time in vancouver and we shifted from Hyatt to
Travelodge Vancouver Lion's Gate hotel for cheaper ( or cheapest :) ) accommodation.
Hotel rooms were average but cozy. The rooms were so closely attached, we could hear all activity in the neighboring room :).

Close to so much. First time I have booked on line with Expedia & found it quick & easy.
Comfortable beds & pillows (not all so large you get a stiff neck) & liked the clean white comforter & the way it was covered for easy washing not like some places that have old dark bedspreads, that who knows when they were last cleaned.
Lighting sufficient but not bright like newer places. The bathroom was small but for the price adequate.
Most reasonably priced non grubby accommodation I have stayed at in BC this year & we have been in a lot of different hotels this year mainly in the northern part of the province.

I stayed at this hotel for a few nights while my wife was having some surgery done at Lions Gate Hospital. Their rates were great and the hotel was in a great location. They were doing some construction near the lobby but I hardly noticed. I would definitely return.

Me and my husband and our 11 year old son stayed here for 5 nights on our way to Mexico and loved it. The staff at the front desk were super nice and helpful they made our trip unforgettable. The cleaning staff were very polite and friendly. Also very comortable beds we had the best sleep as the rooms are away from the main street so we were never disturbed by any noises.. our room also had the view of the mountains covered by snow which was amazing. We Booked this hotel because of the price, they have the best rates compared to the other hotels around and it totally exceeded our expectations! It is very convinient my son and husband like to sky so we took the bus and we were up on the grouse mountain within 15 minutes and we were there the whole day, the view was spectacular. There is a bus stop right beside the hotel which we took daily to go downtown and it only took 10minutes.. We also had breakfast at dennys next door every morning, they gave us a 20% off discount because of staying at this hotel which was also a great advantage.. Delicious pancakes!! We had dinner one night at earls next door and really enjoyed the food.. Great steak!! We will deffinitely come back, we miss Vancouver already!!
