• Very accumulating. Very clean. Very close to the heart of Vancouver.
• Views are not great, just basic downtown buildings and streets, especially from the lower floors.

“I've been here twice now and would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Vancouver for any reason. My wife and I traveled with our 1yo and found the 1bed room to have plenty of room for ourselves to relax and our toddler to run around (and the room was sparkling clean so we weren't sketched out about having our child on the floors). The staff even provided us with a crib at no additional charge.”

• The room was beautiful. Nice location and amenities.
• Elevator was broken. Took at least 5 minutes to get up or down.

“Great hotel, very happy. When I went, there were only 2 working elevators - so made going in and out a pain. But the room was beautiful, staff was very friendly. Parking was a bit expensive though.”

• Specifically, the people were extremely courteous and helpful.
• I have nothing negative to report - well, parking posed a problem for us, costly and inconvenient - also, wished breakfast was included

“Everything was wonderful, I could see the water from my window, through two skyscrapers, yet still beautiful. loved the orange/ginger lotion.”

• The guest rooms were very clean, comfortable and modern. Excellent views and location.
• Cost of parking.

“This hotel surpassed our expectations with it's beautiful interior spaces, friendly staff and luxury accommodations. The location was perfect and centrally located to everything. We were able to obtain a 2 hour extension on check out with no question. I would definitely return to this hotel!”

• The staff were exceptionally friendly and professional.

“The hotel was beautiful and the beds were incredibly comfortable. Our TV didn't work so they offered us another room and when we declined a move, they gave us breakfast on them. There was a roof top sun area on one area of the hotel that appeared quite nice. Our stay was short but very enjoyable.”

• Conveniently located to the conference.
• Charged extra for internet service - Ridiculous!

“What you would expect from a Marriott - clean, pleasant, safe, helpful. The only problem is the nickel-and-dimming about internet connectivity. In this day, internet is a necessity for business and charging extra is ridiculous. If I hadn't been using Priceline I wouldn't have stayed in this hotel because of their internet policy.”

“Really beautiful view and great front desk staff and doormen, but felt very business oriented and not so much the luxury expected with a four star.”

• Staff over the top friendly and helpful.
• Very, limited late night room service.

“We check in shortly after midnight. The front desk gentleman was very quick and helpful. The room on the 15th floor had a harbor view and the front of the room was all window. Very nice view. Curtains kept the room dark till we awoke. Room in excellent condition as well as the whole hotel. Definitely would recommend.”

• Great location and quiet newly furnished rooms.

“Great hotel, newly renovated rooms and perfect location to head south to the shops or north to the Harbor which is a block away. Parking is a reasonable 26CAD with in/out privileges.”

• Staff were excellent with my 16 month old son.
• Lock/key slot broke immediately, had to change rooms, etc after long day of travel.

“Hotel was easy to find, easy to check in, with very friendly staff - particularly to my toddler. We had problems with the key/lock the first night - eventually requiring a room change. Staff was as helpful as could be and the mechanic had the front desk complimented us breakfast buffet (delicious with staff offering to get the toddler anything) since the room change meant we lost our great view. Room was beautiful and clean.”

• Women's dressing/shower area needed some detail cleaning, mainly in the mold department.

“Clean, friendly, helpful staff and within walking distance to local attractions. Parking lot seemed safer than other hotels. No broken glass. The pool spa area was comforting.”

• Great location, beautiful city and water views with very comfortable rooms.
• $26/day for parking.

“I would recommend this hotel to friends, it is in a beautiful convenient location. Although parking is a little pricey, there is at least parking available for guests. Everything in the downtown core is within walking distance from this location. Staff was friendly and helpful.”

• Very comfortable beds and nice and quiet at night time.
• The parking was quite expensive - $26.00 which seems too high.

“Great location, very nice exercise area, and they have a pool, whirlpool (nice and hot), sauna, and steam room. Also, nice is Cafe Artigiano located in the bottom of the hotel - excellent coffee - they have won many awards in Vancouver and it was nice to try it out. The hotel is walking distance to Robson, Pacific Center, GM Place. We would stay there again!”

• The cleanliness and the bed.

“This hotel was in a perfect location close to everything. The staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms were perfectly appointed and the beds make you want to go back just for them. They also offered a quick early riser (before 6) breakfast delivered to your door. There was also a morning paper included in your room charge.”

• Clean, attractive, classy.
• Parking is outrageous ($26/night).

“Has some amenities (ballrooms, restaurant, etc.) but the lobby area, while pleasantly and tastefully decorated, was rather small, and the pool/fitness areas were very pedestrian. Rooms were very nice, but not quite up to the caliber of some of the newly updated Marriott’s, we have stayed at. The hotel will also bill you $26 per day for parking.”

• I
  liked the personal touch given by the hotel to guests. It was Christmas Eve and we received stockings on the door. Nice touch.

“I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The staff was very warm and accommodating. The room itself was spacious and comfortable. I would definitely stay at this hotel again.”

• Swimming/pool/sauna 24hrs. Great location.
• They put me in a cornered room which is small and irregularly shaped. Not clean-hair in the bath tub.

“Great location and exercise facilities. I hated their internet charging policy - 16.95 per day (12pm to 12 pm). Even Hyatt offers a much for 14.95 per day (anytime to anytime). I also hated the hair I saw in the bathtub when I moved in.”

• The room we ended up in had a nice view, but we had to pay 50/not extra.
• Terrible staff (maids were good, desk, concierge, valet hopeless).

“Downtown Vancouver is not really the best location to stay in this beautiful, waterfront city. However, Coal Harbor is close to the marinas and to sea planes, and if you are on a high floor, the view from the rooms can be lovely. The staff of the hotel needs retraining and better management. The front desk appears not to communicate with bell and valet staff; bell and valet staff disappear at peak periods. Needs a serious manager.”

• The housekeeping staff was a bit noisy in the morning (before 9 AM).

“The hotel was comfortable to sleep in and centrally located. The amenities were above average. The restaurant was wonderful (unique NW type dishes), some dishes were very healthful. The staff was very nice.”

• The location was excellent. Great view across inner harbor to Downtown and float planes landing in front of hotel.
• Many expensive condos are being built nearby, but some older industrial area still exists.

“This hotel was excellent value for the money. It was situated directly on the Victoria inner harbor and from the patio/walkway outside you could easily view float planes landing/taking off. By crossing a nearby bridge you could easily walk to Downtown restaurants the Empress in 10 minutes. Overall, a great experience!”

• Finishes were a little old for a 5 star hotel, i.e. chips in furniture, etc.

“Very comfortable, excellent location, tasteful, but perhaps just a tad dated in its design, appearance and finishes compared to other more contemporary hotels of the 4 star level I've stayed in.”

• I loved the 24 hour fitness center and pool area as well as the helpful staff.
• The room we got was smaller because the larger king size rooms were full.

“There were many things I loved about this hotel. The staff was incredibly helpful and responsive. The pool and fitness area were both 24 hours, so if we were exploring the city late we could take a dip in the hot tub to help our achy muscles. The bathroom in the hotel room had not only a tub, but also a glass shower. Even after we had checked out, the staff held our luggage for us so that we could explore the city for one more day.”

• The location was great.
• The staff was not very friendly.

“Pros: The location was great. Walking distance to many attractions and very convenient to get around to Stanley park, bus tours, ferry tours and shopping areas. The room was clean and adequate for party of three (2 adults and one child). The restaurant at the hotel was nice and the gym facilities including the pool, steam and sauna were impressive. Cons: We were celebrating my wife's birthday and I called in advance to request a room on a higher floor if possible and they said it shouldn't be a problem. There was not even an acknowledgement of the request which I know was noted. They also said they would call when it would become available and we never received a call or a note. Internet access is fairly expensive $15! for a deluxe hotel that is unacceptable. Overall an average experience.”

“Hotel is in an excellent location, within walking distance to Stanley Park, Robson Street and Gas town.

The hotel room and lobby could have been more spacious.”

The smoke detector went off in my room (battery died) while I was at the aforementioned Starbucks in the morning and they were very concerned about my dog and wanted to make sure he wasn't scared to death, it was really nice. They had the smoke detector replaced within five minutes. Great service all around, super friendly staff from the valet, to bell staff to front desk to the gym folks. All happy smiling faces.”

• Greta view room.
• Pay for parking.

“Great upscale hotel but for the life of me I cannot understand how the more upscale a hotel is the more they nickel and dime you for what I think should be included such as internet service which was available at $ 16.00 per day and parking at $23.00 per day. I expect to pay for parking in a downtown hotel but not a $10 to $12 surcharge above the going rate. Nevertheless, a great property and the staff sure know all about customer service.”
