• The organic peppermint tea in room, the location - superb.
• The reception staff less than warm/friendly (exception: the doormen).

“ The expansive lobby welcomes you in style. The room was well appointed. And I enjoyed the touch of an upgraded tea sachet (organic peppermint) - this is a subjective preference. The $15 Internet charge/daily I could live without. ”

• Nice hotel in good location by the water.
• Parking lot is poorly designed.

“Overall a good hotel. Only complaint is that the parking lot associated with the hotel is very poorly designed. The ramps between each of the levels is very steep such that the bottom of my car would always scrape on the ramp when going up or down. This is in spite of the fact that I would drive very slowly over each ramp.”

• Friendly staff - very clean and fresh.
• I hate when hotels charge for Internet - it is common.

“Older building that has been updated to a fresh new look. Beds were very comfortable! Views are excellent on both sides - the water view is obviously better! Some spoke harshly about parking charges - high but fair for the area. You should take the train if you are able & leave your car behind.”

• 24 hour swimming pool, hot tub.
• Rude staff, overpriced internet in rooms, internet in lobby is tacky and inconvenient.

“Good location and nice rooms. Unfortunately some staff (valet and desk) were fairly rude and unaccommodating. Cheaper hotels like Days Inn give free internet in the room, this hotel made customers wait in the lobby for the two free computers (wasting customers time and wearing down their patience).”

• Quiet convenient for us, clean and a great view if you get the harbour side- not so good at front.
• internet access expensive. Rooms too cold due to unfixable air conditioning fault, moved rooms in the middle of the night.

• The hotel was two blocks from the harbor, and an easy walk to shopping.
• Parking was expensive and it was several blocks to the bus stop.

“This hotel was two blocks from the harbor, and for an extra $25 we could have upgraded to a harbor view room. The room itself was nice, with a king bed and a small sofa. They had free wireless in the lobby as well as one computer that could be used by guests. All the staff we interacted with were nice and super friendly.”

• Clean, renovated, courteous service. I would go for any type of travel.
• Parking price.

“We stayed two nights. The first night was just my wife and I. We went to a show. It was a very nice classy hotel where we could go for cocktails before bed. Room was incredibly clean and tidy. (None of that black stuff or the grout in the bathroom) Second night out kids joined us and we played in the pool. Big convention on that day (Fire and police games) and still the hotel was quiet and a good place to relax.”

• It made me feel comfortable, safe and pampered.

“The hotel is in a great location that's convenient to all of downtown, has large spacious rooms with balconies, a fine exercise, pool & spa facility that's open 24 hours, an attractive lobby, a restaurant (did not use), a cafe with a view of the harbor, and a warm and friendly staff that's eager to help.”

• Great location. Friendly and helpful staff.
• Expensive parking. Old Carpet . Elevators look dated.

“Parking is very expensive - $25 / day. We ended up parking on the street. I think that there are other parking places nearby where it is cheaper. The hotel is in a great location. I think it was a long time since the hotel has been renovated and that showed (old carpet, one of the handle bars in one of the elevators was broken). Staff was very helpful - our car broke down and the Canadian 411 system was impossible to use. I called back at the hotel where I was supplied with 4-5 phone numbers for towing companies. A short time later we were on our way home.”

• The king size bed was extremely comfortable. The in room safe to keep valuable not wanting to carry around town.
• Expensive parking and no complimentary wireless in the room.

“Our room did not reflect a 4 star quality hotel. It was small, small bathroom, and extra $25.00 for parking and $16/day for in room internet, Staff was very unhelpful about storage for our bikes and we eventually had to lug them up to the 15th floor and keep them in our small room. Staff was not responsive to my disappointment in our room (because of size and small window). New interior remodel is a bit garish with an orange, red, brown and black polka dot and line motif. Older one cup at a time coffee maker in the room, It appeared our room was smaller than most. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone wanting a 4 star hotel.”

• Had some trouble with key card. Lobby restaurant stank like fish one eve.

“Fine hotel. Friendly staff. Exactly as expected. No complaints but beware to get a room on the harbor side cost me an extra $20/night. I thought it was worth it.”

• It has a beautiful view and the room was newly remodeled.
• The smell in the parking garage was not good.

“The quality of the hotel room is beyond our expectation! We got a very good deal from Priceline, but always bear in mind parking is hardly inexpensive or free for the hotels in downtown Vancouver.”

• Clean, convenient and comfy.

“We had a great king-sized bed that overlooked the city- which isn't a bad thing. The pillows, sheets and blankets were just made for sleazing around. The location was perfect too. You can walk anywhere that merits interest. We even took a short walk on over to Stanley Park, rented bikes and rode all the way around the park. This is one of the best hotels I've stayed at.”

• Harbor view is worth the extra charge, watching the float planes was the best.
• Lobby restaurant.

“Room was fine with a great view. Very clean well laid out. But the hallways were tight. maybe just a brighter color.”
