This hotel location wins hands down. All the downtown attractions were walkable - Legislative assembly building, Empress hotel in case if you wanted high tea, harbor view, Royal BC museum, lot of restaurants (Ithaka which is next door), China town, Bastion square etc. We didnt have to take our car out for local sight seeing (took the water taxi to reach Fisherman's wharf and the taxi pick up point was also close by). The beds were good and the bathroom was clean/tidy. This hotel has a restaurant which we didnt visit but went to the restro bar where we had a drink (only 19 adults are allowed). We didnt use the swimming pool either but got to know from my wife that isnt that big/lengthy one either. I would definitely recommend this hotel if you are traveling as a family (my room has 2 queen beds which was convenient for us). There is a starbucks diagonally opposite if in case you drink a lot of starbucks coffee/drinks. Has valet parking and the parking fee is CAD 20 per night (a lot of hotels around this area charged for parking and hence I was ok with that). Last but not the least - super friendly staff.
