Date of Stay: July, 2008
I needed to head to St. Paul's Hospital for my yearly check-up. My first time to this hotel, and I liked it. I was only 3 blocks away from the hospital. Since that I was injured, the hotel had its shuttle to drop me off at the hospital. The room was nice, and the front desk people were very friendly, and helpful. I especially liked the fact that the Airporter stops at the hotel-so no more cabs to/from the airport( thank goodness).

Overall, it is a nice hotel with reasonable rate.

I would not recommend this hotel to a friend. Located on the fringes of a seedy part of Vancouver. Hotel staff was not really helpful as far as answering questions about buses, taxis, how to get places. Overpriced. Way too expensive.

Location of hotel is fantastic -- unfortunately, there were no places to eat a quick breakfast. When we visited the hotel hot tub to our disappointment the first night it was out of order and the second day the water wasn't hot - not even close. Staff is friendly and it is a good buy for the money.

I will keep it short. My overall impression of the staff is 10+. The restaraunt looked really nice, although I did not eat there. As for the rooms, I like the paintings/drawings in the room, made feel like home. The beds were nice and comforable, but to my suprise, so was the rollaway- my son liked sleeping on it!

There were so many helpful people, it would be impossible to mention them all. One of our party experienced an unfortunate illness that required hospitalization. We cannot adequately express our gratitude to the staff for the help that they gave us, as we tried to cope with the problem that resulted. I will return to this hotel again.

Date of Stay: May, 2007
I have stayed in dozens of hotels over the years, and none have been as bad as this. There was no hot water, the beds were lumpy, the lights were not wired properly and worst of all, the on-site restaurant is EXTREMELY unfriendly. They were so rude I complained to the front desk, whose sole response was 'Oh..' Do yourself a favour and stay at a different hotel.
