This hotel is rated 4*, but it has a 5* feel to it, particularly when the staff are considered...they were friendly, nearly always smiling, but above all, they remembered my name and would address me by name even when just passing by in the corridors. That makes the hotel a very comfortable place to stay. I have stayed in literally dozens of leading Vancouver hotels and L'Hermitage is as good as any...and much more reasonable in price. The biggest drawback is the restaurant menu, which is relatively limited. But it's a smallish hotel, so that's understandable. I had four meals there on this trip, and found all my choices very good and nicely presented. In summary, a 4* hotel but clearly deserves a 5* recommendation.
