Gutes Hotel für Aufenthalt in Vancouver
Pros:

Gutes Hotel in der Nähe zum Stanley-Park. Gute Anbindung in die Innenstadt mit dem Bus. Große und saubere Zimmer. Der Duschkopf ließ sich sogar abnehmen.

Cons:

Die Fenster waren nicht gut isoliert, daher waren die Zimmer zur Straße sehr laut. Die Zimmer waren etwas altbacken.

Pros:

Amazing location, so close to English Bay beach. Easy check-in and amazing staff. Parking facility available on site. Reasonable rates.

Cons:

Really old rooms. Lighting was from 1969. The carpets from the 20th century. Questionable cleanliness when it came to the chairs in the room.

Location is top! Exceeded expectations for breakfast, cleanliness and overall experience.
Pros:

Chose this hotel for its location - best decision! We knew this hotel is old and "tired", but it turned out to be partially renovated and pretty clean, definitely better than expected. Breakfast (included in our case) exceeded expectations - no buffet, we could choose any item from a-la-carte menu.

Cons:

Damage deposit seems excessive ($250) compared to other hotels with the usual $100. There was a mix-up with refunding the deposit and charging the right amount for the room, but it got figured out. Gym is very basic and small, but it's available and secure.

Would stay again for the location alone.
Pros:

Location- close to Stanley Park, beautiful view of the ocean, many different ethnic restaurants, walking distance for many venues. Secure entrance, large patio, excellent pub to watch the game and get good pub food. Staff were accommodating. Taxi service was available.

Cons:

Windows dirty, elevator buttons loose, air conditioner was noisy but worked ok once we figured it out. TV channels were limited.
