This is an excellent place to stay downtown Vancouver and if you have medical appointments at St. Paul's Hospital next door. The staff are outstanding in their professionalism, amiability and overall willingness to get to know you even a bit, to make your stay more comfortable. This includes the cleaning staff we had on the 20th floor. The pool is dismal! Its dark, damp, dreary and nothing inviting about it. Slippery, too. And locker room is really poor. Main restaurant is specialty Italian and doesn't lend itself to travellers who just want everyday food . Amazing how many guests were bringing in take out or delivery food! Amazing. The attached coffee shop is really nice with a wide variety of baking and a few other things. Their daily soup is fabulous!!!
