Enjoyed our stay
Pros:

Location!

Cons:

Overall was great stay and would stay again.
A few complaints for the price:
-could hear entire conversations from room next door. No sound proofing..thankfully we had nice neighbours!
-elevator wait times can get bad
-pool and pool area needs upgrade, way too small for the hotel size. A bit shocked a hotel of this calibre doesn’t have an indoor pool area as well

Pros:

Läget och rummet var mycket bra!

Cons:

Frukosten var bra men processen för frukost var häpnadsväckande usel för ett hotell på denna nivå. Vi fick köa för att få bord trots att frukostmatsalen var halvtom. Det tog tio minuter att få ett bord och vi har aldrig varit med om en så usel service i samband med den extremt enkla tjänsten att servera en överprissatt frukost. Processen är den i särklass sämsta vi har varit med om någonsin. Nästa gång väljer vi en annan hotellkedja.

A great central location
Pros:

Was just spending one night in Vancouver so wanted somewhere central and had a couple of friends recommend the Waterfront to me so I chose this. Location is great and there is paid parking which was really useful. We booked a gold room so we could use the lounge facilities. As always these places can be a little busy but we felt it was worthwhile and you also had a nice outdoor area you could sit out at with a great view. Basic food offerings and breakfast was really useful. The room was absolutely fine, we had one with two double beds, and well appointed bathroom. We had reserved complimentary bikes with concierge which you get for 2 hours so did the Stanley Park ride which was amazing and a definite highlight. Unfortunately we had no time to use the pool but that’s another bonus of this hotel. In summary, a really good place for a short visit to Vancouver. Hotel is close to shuttle buses to Capilano Suspension Bridge, sea to sky gondola and near the Fly Canada experience so I think it’s quite hard to beat.

Rooftop Bee Tours
Pros:

The location of the hotel can't be beat!  The waterfront room views are lovely and the area is walkable with many first rate restaurants nearby.  

Our room, a suite, was spacious and clean.

Our favourite part of the hotel was the rooftop garden & bee hives!  If you are visiting in the summer months, be sure to book a complimentary tour with the hotel.  Some of the honey is used in the house Gin.  Delicious!  Special shout out to Phil, Concierge, & Danielle B, for arranging & hosting our tour.  Thank you!
