A reasonable option for the price in downtown Vancouver
Pros:

Excellent location with easy access to Stanley Park, beach, and restaurants.

Cons:

The room faces Davie Street and can be noisy due to heavy summer activity. The hotel is showing its age, particularly the elevator, and the electric kettle appeared dirty.

Bad value for money in dated hotel with unappreciative reception manager
Pros:

Breakfast was good and served by a really friendly and good staff.

Cons:

We stayed just for two nights and the room was not cleaned after the first night. Normally, whilst annoying, not a big thing but at a rate of almost CAD 600 per night this was obviously disappointing. Even more disappointing was the reaction of the reception manager after I complained. Some kind of compensation, even a small gesture would have been appropriate given the high room rate, combined with a poor service and facilities that can only be described as rather dated. Instead the reception manager just pointed out we had a “Do not disturb” sign at our door. I explained this was true but only until we finished breakfast at 11:30 and room cleaning took place until 3pm. The manager then explained we should have notified reception when our room was ready for cleaning. Fair comment if we had left the room only in the afternoon but not at 11:30. Very disappointed in the attitude of the reception manager.

Bija labi, sabiedriskais transports uz/ no centu praktiski pie viesnīcas durvīm. Ļoti ērti.
Pros:

Spēcīgas, ceptas, porcionētas brokastis (arī olas), izvēle no ēdienkartes. Amerikāņu kafija, neierasta, bet liela krūze. Laipna apkalpošana.

Cons:

Brokastīs vēlētos kādus zaļumus.
