Before we went, I read several reviews indicating that the hotel rooms looked a little "tired." This was NOT the case for my room or the two others I booked for family members. The rooms were fantastic...loved the separate sitting room. The views from our floors (14 and 15) were exceptional whether we were on the city side or the water side, though I must say that the sunset over the water our first night was simply unbeatable. The staff, from the maid to the front desk, was excellent. Indeed, they remembered your name when you came downstairs and that simply doesn't happen that often these days. We had both one dinner and one breakfast in the hotel restaurant.....money and time well spent. Best of all was the location. This is a very vibrant part of town...always something going on and within walking distance of the entire downtown area. I would readily recommend this hotel to anyone. The fact that this is the first review I've ever written is evidence of my enthusiasm.

Area was great for getting everywhere very easily .And that was it the washing machine was broke and was never fixed the room smelt like a dogs kennel with dog hairs all over the carpet and the bedroom still had a old pair of dog haired covered socks still in there

This is the second time we stayed at this hotel. This visit was better than the first, because of the completed gym and health spa located on the 3rd floor. The gym itself is small but very well appointed with aerobic equipment, free weights and machines. All equipment is of very high quality. We were impressed and all was included in the rate.

We found the front desk staff very friendly upon check in and check out. Fast and efficient. We paid a little more this time for a room on the 18th floor with a view of the ocean...What a view! The suite was somewhat small, for more than 2 people. 3 people might find it a bit of a squeeze, but then again, how much time do you spend in the room. We found the bathroom smaller than you would find in other hotels.

The hotel is located in a trendy part of Vancouver, away from some of the seediness of Granville street. The hotel is a very easy walk to alot of the shopping in Vancouver. Granville Island is close by. If you are not in a hurry, you are can also walk to Stanley Park; its a little bit of a walk 30-40 minutes or so...but you can also catch a bus which will take you there.

They have a free internet connection available in the room as well, which was a little slow at times...but for reading email, it was fine.

I would definately stay here again. Compared to other hotels in the area, I question if you will find the same value for money, especially if you book one of the lower internet rates available at the Sandman website.

My friend and I spent one night, but I would happily return to this hotel because of the fair price, friendly staff, clean suite and great location - Stanley Park and the ferry to Granville Island are within walking distance and there's a great little bakery just two doors down. The neighborhood is just funky enough to be interesting without being totally over-the-top.
