Perfect place for a short stay in Vancouver
Pros:

Great location. Old style hotel, wearing its years well. Cozy quiet rooms with comfortable beds.
Superb restaurant with perfect breakfast and lovely views.
Customer service is excellent. Staff have found a lost item and are keeping it for us. So impressed.

Cons:

Next time I will remember to ask for the house staff to wind down a bit on the ‘room fresheners’

A peaceful oasis & retreat
Pros:

This is an incredible location. Granville Island is quiet, quaint and has so much to explore. The hotel is older but is maintained very well. The staff goes out of their way to accommodate requests & are very friendly and kind. I felt well taken care of. I slept well, the beds are comfy, rooms are quiet and I had a beautiful view of Vancouver.

Cons:

I do wish I could get coffee downstairs earlier than 7:30am but it’s ok! The one note about Granville Island and the surrounding area is many places don’t open until 8-9:00am, including the Public Market.

Pros:

The location was lovely, the staff all very kind and helpful. The restaurant had a limited menu but satisfactory.

Cons:

The spa was only luke warm. The room was very small for the price point. Actual coffee was only available as take out in small cups from the restaurant after 7:30 am. I paid for parking that was nonexistent, required a phone call to the desk and a bit of scrambling then waiting for assistance to squeeze in the lot.

Great spot to stay while in Vancouver
Pros:

This is a great location to stay when in Vancouver. You are right on Granville Island so only a 450 metre walk to the main market with lots of other stores and theatres only steps from the hotel. The hotel is centrally located so easy to get to all parts of Vancouver.

Had a great stay and overall hotel was lovely just a few things mentioned that were disappointing
Pros:

Great location, very nice restaurant and staff

Cons:

Our room looked right at a wall that we could practically touch. Wished they might have given us a nicer view but the room itself was fine also restaurant bar closed at 9:30 on a Saturday night

We enjoyed being on Granville Island, but I don't think we would stay there again.

They need new furniture. The beds were quite uncomfortable. The pillows were terrible.
