Taxi to downtown area will cost about $13-15 (Canadian). The staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms were very nice and clean, and the price for the room was great! more

For an inexpensive hotel stay, this is the place. During the day, this location isn't bad at all. At night, it can appear shady. Not because there is an adults only store across the street. The neighborhood doesn't seem like one of those places you want to take a stroll around block in. Unlike most Holiday Inn Expresses (HIE), this... more

This hotel turned out to be much better than anticipated from prior TripAdvisor reviews. The location is right across the street from the Pacific National Exposition park and two blocks from the Coliseum, perfect if you're going there. Hastings Street is not scenic but we saw no sign of any questionable characters there as opposed to our visit to the... more

We booked a double-double room through wotif.com. Our room was a good price, fairly modern, clean (however we did find items under the bed from previous occupants and the two armchairs were stained) and a good size. The hallway areas were "tired" looking. The foyer was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was free, which was a good job, as I... more

We stayed here prior to our cruise. We arrived on 9/20/08 on Amtrak from Seattle. The hotel offers free shuttle from the Amtrak Station and also from the hotel to the cruise ship terminal. When we arrived at the Amtrak station, I called the hotel and they said they would be about 15 minutes late. I called again 30 minutes... more

The hotel is 10/15 minutes from downtown in a strategic position to reach in short time all the main Vancouver's attractions. The location is a not the best of the town but the hotel and the garage are safe (the garage is gated) so using the car is the best choice. In the day time it's comfortable to reach downtown... more

A good hotel but while the immediate area around the hotel is OK it is a long way from downtown and it is a slow journey through a very run down neighbourhood. We primarily chose it because we could stay for free using Priority Club Points Break reward nights so we got good value for money! If I was using... more

We stayed two nights at this hotel and we were not impressed. It seems like an older hotel that needs some work. There were brown water stains on the ceiling in the bathroom and the grout around the tub could have used some bleach. The microwave had a piece cut out of the interior of the door and burnt our... more

We stayed here 3 nights for a brief exploration of Vancouver and surrounding area before our cruise out of the Balintyne pier. The hotel is just east of a bad neighbourhood of Vancouver so you do not want to be travelling west on Hastings by foot. However we took the bus, which stops right out front of the hotel, to... more
