“Afforable, but this place stinks. Literally.”

THE GOOD: It's affordable and in a convenient section of downtown. The staff is friendly and the attached restaurant serves good food. Super convenient for taking the bus and close enough to walk to the train station or the waterfront. THE BAD: This place really does smell as other reviews have noted. I was in two rooms, one of the 2nd floor and one on the 5th, both smelled as did all the hallways. I don't know what the smell is. It's not smoke. It's more like wet dog or dirty socks. Turning on the AC (window units) only made it worse. Only thing that even remotely helped was leaving the window open at all times. BOTTOM LINE: Even though it's a bit run down, it's a good value for the location, but if you've got a sensitive sniffer, you might want to look elsewhere.

“Good for the price compared to other hotels.”

It definately was cheaper than other hotels but you do get what you pay for. The comforters were pretty run down and old. The room stunk but we did get use to that ....also turned on the air conditioner which helped.

Outdoors or beach
Go take a stroll to Stanley Park.

“Didn't feel safe for 2 women on their own on a Saturday night!”

This hotel is located on the convenient Granville Street. Although it is a good central location in Downtown Vancouver, the surrounding neighbourhood is not nice and somewhat scary after dark. We arrived here at about 8pm on a Saturday evening, it was very busy and extremely noisy. Our room was on the 5th floor but the window overlooked the main street. As we has a flight to catch the next day and unfortunately weren't out partying on the Saturday night, we had to invest in some ear plugs to be able to get some sleep. Although I didnt enjoy walking down Granville Street, it is close to the much nicer Robson Street which was lovely to walk down with a much better atmosphere, and you can get all the way the down to Stanley Park. If you just want somewhere to dump your bags, in a great location for the nightlife of Vancouver, then this is the place for you. But if you want a good night's sleep, I would recommend the much nicer Comfort Inn, just around the corner.

Must see
Granville Island Market Stanley Park Robson Street for shopping

Go to The Keg for a great atmosphere and amazing steaks!

“great place and really great location”

We picked this because it was near the train station. It ended up being just a few minutes away by taxi. It was very nicely done inside and out. You can tell it has been recently renovated. It is very clean and comfortable and close to everything we wanted to walk to in Vancouver, The people at the desk were very nice. The restaurant connected with the hotel was nice as well. The price was great . The only two things that were bad was a slight odor in the hallway. Kind of stale smelling. And we had a problem with the water twice. Once it would not get hot for a shower, then the next morning, the water was nothing but hot.

Area recommendations
It was in the city and very handy to get everywhere. There were many stores and restaurants close to it.. No problems at all
