Excellent location in the Granville St. entertainment area, especially if you are attending a show or out clubbing. The rooms are clean but small and very basic. There are better deals out there for nicer rooms. The cost for parking is a good value compared to other hotels in the area. More

After reading some reviews on TripAdvisor, I was somewhat apprehensive about booking here. I shouldn't have been. We (my brother and I) had a nice room & a nice view for just over $70/a night, that's a cheap room no matter where you go. The staff were always super helpful. We were booked on the VIA Rail train 'The Canadian'... More

This is our second stay at this hotel. The first time was in May 2010 for one night. We had originally picked this hotel based on reviews on trip advisor and we were not disappointed. We stayed 4 nights this time and just returned home. It's Feb and they had a great price for downtown Vancouver ($72/night CAD + tax).... More

My husband and I stayed here for one night before heading to Whistler when we had friends visiting from SF. This hotel is a great value and well-located near the Granville bridge (for quick exit out of downtown) and entertainment district. Its underground parking lot was convenient and secure. Its staff were very helpful and courteous. We knew that there... More

Really - from top to bottom, excellent property - rooms are modern, clean, very comfortable. Location is pretty good for getting anywhere on Granville Island easily. Only issue: major construction going on to the east and west of the hotel. We were greeted promptly at 7:30 AM by a couple of backhoes and dump trucks outside our window. I will... More

I stayed for 2 nights in Oct 2011. I requested an early check-in of around 9 am after a 15 hour flight from Sydney, Australia. They did their best and I was in the room by 10:30 am. The room was clean and quiet. The location was excellent - an easy walk to downtown & the main attractions in Vancouver.... More
