2 weeks agoThis is the only place in Vancouver where I’d ever stay! They were able to accommodate my request for an early check in. My room had a partial view of the ocean/beach. Nothing beats this location. It is within walkjng distance of English Bay Beach and Stanley Park. The 5, 6 and 23 buses all stop right by the hotel so there is easy access to the Pacific Centre, the Vancouver Bus Terminus (Pacific Station) and other areas.

3 weeks agoIt’s adequate. The elevators are not very good. Hallways pretty grungy. Room and bath small but fine. Old loud AC unit in the window. Our room shower had the hot and cold labels backwards and the water is VERY hot so be careful.
