Great base for our week in Vancouver
Pros:

Very quiet location yet in the heart of the island. Very comfortable beds and great housekeeping standards.Great outside decks for warm evenings and people watching.

Cons:

Service at breakfast was hit and miss as was the quality.Dinner prices were quite high given the fairly conventional menu choices.

A charming experience
Pros:

The hotel was great! It was the perfect location for our travels to Vancouver. We wanted to be close to the Granville markets and shopping so this place was great. The staff was very friendly and the room was very clean. It was a few days before FIFA World Cup so it was decorated slightly for that. There was a Major Event fee which was for that event which we didn't know about when booking. But over all a lovely experience.

Great location on Granville island for short stay.
Pros:

Location, onsite parking, big comfortable bed.

Cons:

Couldn’t open the window to allow for fresh air. Breakfast was just ok, lovely people but food choice poor. Bathroom very small - one person only.

A very pleasant hotel but be ware if a wheelchair user and bathroom accessibility
Pros:

Its position was right on Granville Island, it had an amazing atmosphere, very comfortable and with very helpful staff at reception. You did not need to eat at the hotel although it had access to a restaurant on site because you had the market on Granville Island to eat at. They were very accommodating with storing our luggage.

Cons:

We had an accessible room so that we had a walk-in-shower and the entrance to the bathroom was not accessible for a wheelchair. A wheelchair user would have difficulty accessing the bathroom with the slope, the floor level of the bathroom was higher than the bedroom. Apart from this the room and bathroom was set up well for accessibility. Be aware of this.
