Thought we were getting free parking
Posted Jan 14, 2015Stayed here on our way to Mexico Expedia site said they had free parking but we were charged $5 a day to park. Hotel staff was nice about it and said Expedia knew about it but still posts free parking on their site. Hotel said if we would have booked direct with them we would have had the parking for free. Big disappointment as that is why we picked the hotel in the first place.

Good overall.
Posted Dec 15, 2014Pros: Clean, quiet.
Cons: Check-in speed
Location: Easy to get to
The experience was positive overall. Clean, quiet, comfortable room. The check-in was VERY slow. Only one staff member checking guests when three shuttled of delayed airport passengers arrived. They were tire and grumpy and had to wait a long time to be processed.

great staff, clean room.
Posted Dec 9, 2014Pros: flat screen TV, pleasant staff, room was equipped with dishes,utensils,microwave, fridge.
Cons: Better beds.
We were very impressed with the staff and the cleanliness of our room. The only complaint would be that bed was way to soft and we are use to firm mattress.

Close to the airport
Posted Dec 6, 2014Just got in late at night and out early the next morning, so it's not fair to give a good or bad comment as I didn't is any services expect the wake up service which late and caught the shuttle to the airport.would have been nice to have free coffee while we waited for the shuttle. This questionair is a little over the top for a person who only stayed at the hotel for 6 hours. Now the questionair is gettinge really a little POed because just want at bunch of B/S and that's not fair.

Decent Hotel if on a budget in Downtown Vancouver
Posted Dec 1, 2014Pros: Location, reasonable cost, friendly staff
Cons: Shark Club closed is biggest negative. Rooms are somewhat dated.
Location: Right next to BC Place and Rogers Arena, 6 blocks to Granville or Yaletown. Somewhat away from the good shopping and restaurants, but walkable
Hotel is about what you should expect for the price. Good location, clean rooms, but slightly dated. Its a busy place with a rental car desk in the lobby and a Moxies attached. I was there for Grey Cup weekend which lead to a mix of sports fans, tourists on their way to Whistler, etc. populating the hotel. Also was propositioned by ladies looking to "serve" the Grey Cup fans, which was somewhat unsettling but probably not something the hotel can do much about. Overall, a decent convenient place to stay proably best suited for couples or guys trips rather than families.

Unique alternative
Posted Nov 26, 2014Pros: The unique layout.
Cons: I couldn't, for the life of me, figure out where to plug in the coffee pot until my wife found the hidden outlet at the end of the island.
Pleasantly unique hotel rooms. We booked a loft suite. Second floor master is really a cool idea. Full sized fridge, large microwave, and a two burner hotplate, although not used by us, was really nice to see. If it were just a little more affordable this would be a nice place for an extended stay.

Hotel near Airport
Posted Nov 24, 2014Pros: after a very long flight we sought quiet and a good nice sleep and had it here with a comfortable room and beds
Cons: the housekeeping could have been a bit better as there was a used towel laying in the loft and sticky floor in kitchenette
Location: Near the airport...about a 10 minute drive with shuttle bus
Shuttle service was superb. Staff very friendly. Room was very nice and comfortable for 3 Adults.

Two (wet) days in Vancouver
Posted Nov 3, 2014Pros: Our plane arrived in Vancouver before 7 am, so we were thrilled when our room at the Sandman Hotel was ready at 8:30 am. The window actually opens too
Cons: One of the desk clerks was perfunctory: she did her job but with no real pleasure. Others were much better.
Location: The Sandman is a 15 min walk to Bridgeport, a transportation hub, but the walk is not a very pleasant one. However, it was worthwhile for city access
We had a two day stopover in Vancouver during a long trip. The Sandman was a good choice, since it is near the airport, yet has pretty good city access too. If we wanted to really explore the city, we would stay downtown.
