The sandman is not within walking distance of the Inner Harbour but there are plenty of places to park on the inner harbour. The parking at the hotel was a challenge. they have a bar on sight and the customers take up the hotel parking in the evening. they heed to have designated parking for hotel guests only. The customers using the bar were quite rude. The lobby staff was nice and helpful. I would definately stay there again. The room was nice. The carpet needed to be cleaned or updated but in all was very nice and clean.

My wife and I stayed here with our three children (6, 3, 3) during August. First of all it was tough to find a hotel that would take 5 people to room, to our surprise. But the Sandman had no problem with us. The room was clean and had three beds (one was a hide-a-bed), which we needed. We had no outside noise from traffic, but could here the room beside us, which was from a noisy neighbor, not the fault of the hotel. The staff was very friendly, and the price was very nice for a suite. We would stay here again, no question about it.

We have stayed for a night at Sandman in Victoria:

pros: good value for money (compared with other hotels especially this time of period),free parking, the room was spacious and clean, the staff was friendly to help you,

cons: the hotel is not located in the waterfront you need at least 30min walk to reach the city center, from my point of you you need a transportationmainly for the late hours..it´s more safe(i would consider the area as a dodgy...the way to downtown on foot)....all the nice spots are downtown around the hotel are a few options...breakfast was not included in the price..

In overall it´s was a good hotel...

Sandman Hotel & Suites was a nice surprise. Hotel is central and steps away from great bars, restaurants and shops. Fairly priced hotel...actually more like an apartment. Hotel was clean with modern furniture and decor.

Front desk staff was stellar and always willing to help and go the extra mile. Another hotel plus was the free WiFi offered. I highly recommend this hotel in beautiful Vancouver!
