The room we received was right above the bar where a very loud drag show was going on. When we asked for a different room, the desk said there were none available. We had to put in ear plugs to sleep! The hotel is also in a neighborhood where they said you don't want to walk around at night. Too many homeless people on drugs.

The good thing about this hotel is that they refunded our money. This hotel has no elevator and no rooms on the first floor. We couldn’t stay because of my sister’s disability. The area around the hotel was sketchy at best.

Deadbolt that barely closed. AC that beeped all night--even when off. No onme at the front--front door locked at 4pm. Staff eating while they 'checked' me in--could not explain how the damage deposit worked. Bathroom had dirt in the corners--legit dirt. Toilet paper roll was broken. Thin, non sealed windows (with no screens.) Loud. Loud. Loud. Sounded like you were in the street. At least it was close to the concert i went to and commercial drive. It was gross and felt half baked.

The Expedia description said it was 5 minutes from the Vancouver port and Canada Place. Not so. It was more like a 30 minute taxi ride--through one of the most disturbing downtrodden homeless areas I've seen. The front desk staff was nice and helpful, and we were lucky there was a restaurant and bar connected because we were afraid to leave the premises.

The hotel is generally not great. Coming from a smaller city, the price was pretty high for this standard of hotel. I won't have a lengthy review as I only spent one night. If you're on vacation and want luxury, this isn't for you (the bed wasn't that comfy). There was also a musty smell in the room and in the hotel in general. I had breakfast at the restaurant attached to the hotel (would not recommend - not particularly good for the price). That said, the staff seemed great and there are bus stops to and from the city centre right outside the property (so that might help with the fact that it is in a sketchy neighbourhood).

Okay stay
Stay was okay...you pay for what you get. Beware... there is a night club downstairs, on the weekends very noisy in room from 9pm -2am. No elevator, stairs only to the room. The room needed repairs. The bed was comfortable. The best part of the stay was the staff, very friendly and helpful!!

Not the best location or rooms
Hotel was in a dirty area with lots of homeless around, but the people who worked there were very nice. Husband slipped on stairway carpet n fell on his shoulder. Bed was not attached to wall or headboard n seemed kind of small. Room n bathroom were also very small, with no other chairs in the room. The bed was uncomfortable to sit on to watch tv as it kept sliding out, but ok to sleep on. More pillows might have helped as well. We thought about going elsewhere, but toughed it out. Would stay someplace nicer next time, but again, the staff was very nice n helpful. They also kept the front door locked for safety, which was a wise idea. Kind of a shock n not what we expected.

Very clean and staff lovely
The staff were lovely. Our room was clean - lovely white bed linen and soft fluffy white towels. There was a coffee machine and AC, and free parking. We stayed mid week so no noise- there is a note in reception that it will be noisy on a Friday and Saturday night ( earplugs provided) . Staff advised us on safe areas to walk nearby

Hotel was ok but did not look anything like the pictures on Expedia, a few blocks down is the scariest things we have seen with litterly 100’s of homeless people. The parking lot is in an unsafe area and we ended up paying extra to park in a locked parkade across the street. Hotel is very old and did not like the fact that the lock on the door was a deadbolt as we had 3 of us and only 1 key to get in and out, staff was pleasant and honest about location. Would not stay here again and found it expensive for the location.
