I stayed here with my teenage daughter to check out UBC since she is admitted there. It turns out to be a great location for that since the UBC direct bus 44 leaves one block away and gets you there in 20 minutes. The suites are all the same with reasonable size bedroom setup as king or two twins, small bathroom with tub, good sized living and dining areas enough for 4 comfortably, a small outdoor terrace which I suppose wold be convenient for smokers, and small but complete kitchen with full size oven/stove, micro, fridge, toaster etc. Our room in the back has a view of ugliness (dirty alleyway) so we never sat on the terrace. Other rooms I suspect would have a nice view, perhaps even to the water only 3 blocks west. Breakfast is rather lame with bagels, fake crossoints, 2 cereals, fruit, coffee, juice. However, it's adequate to get going. Location is on block off Davie and a 15-20 minute walk to really anywhere of interest in the city. We walked from teh Yaletown skytrain stop with luggage about 15 minutes, some uphill. There is a bus option on that route too. Ferry to Granville island is 3 short blocks down the hill to the appendage from Stanley Park. It was great. Furnishings are a bit tired (upholstery worn).
