We rolled into Vancouver with no reservations, found that most places were booked up. This little motel is not a Ritz Carlton, but still sufficed as a place to bunk up for a couple of days.
Not the cheapest, not the most up to date interior design, but great location in Vancouver. I think that people forgot to say that even though it was 120 a night, that most of the hotels around were much more expensive than that, especially in August.

Can't believe that a place like this stays in business.
Our room was booked by friends that live nearby, when we arrived, we were given a different room that was disgusting, terrible, abominable, etc.....
The original room that we were supposed to have was OK but still, the price of $120 is outrageous, you can definately do better in Vancouver.
We booked for three day and ended up toughing it out for one and then moved, the owner tried to give a hard time and stated that he needed 2 days notice to canel our booking but we talked him out of it.
Some updates are definately needed because this place has authentic and well used '60's decor. The smell in the hallways is also terrible and seeps somewhat into the rooms which is an interesting aroma of mildew and just old.

This place is heavy on the 70s decor, and our room seemed not to have been vaccummed or cleaned since then. To whit, from the second I woke up in the morning, I began sneezing violently. My eyes and my nose also ran. (I'm not like that at home, and I've never been like that anywhere else.) Mold spores from the uber-thick shag?

The owners live in the hotel and the whole set up just seemed a little odd. The parking garage, underneath the hotel, reminded my friend and I of the set of a horror movie. It just gave us the creeps. That fact was compounded with our inability to open any of the doors that led from the garage into the hotel. We had to open the door for cars and walk around to the hotel's main door.

The only charms to be found were nice flowers around the place and a cute balcony off our room. The location is fabulous too--near Stanley Park and Denman Street and close enough to Granville Island. This place would be an absolute gem if they rehabbed. (I'm a 35-year-old middleclass female.)

This place was recommended by the Rough Guide as an alternative to the Sylvia Hotel which is nearby. The location is good, very near to the beach and Stanely Park, but the place is awful. And not cheap! At $130 a night you expect better than stinky shag carpet, no air conditioning, threadbare towels, and lumpy pillows. The inn-keepers are a quirky and likeable pair of octogenarians who long ago stopped noticing the nasty smell throughout the small converted apartment building. Staying here is like spending the night in someone's grandparent's stuffy rec room, complete with avocado-colored bathroom fixtures, wood panelling, wacky 70's "art pottery" table lamps, a mismatched collection of 30 year old hangers in the closet, and old grocery store bags lining the trashcans.
