Old-school Downtown Motel near sunsetbeach
Pros:

Old school Style Hotel on the strip near sunset beach

Cons:

The bathroom needs better ventilation but they provided only fans. Everything overall was much better than one could expect for that money.

Older Hotel but Clean & Comfortable
Pros:

1st point on location was great opposite to English, Starbucks on the corner, the start to Stanley park Sea Wall & loads of restaurants.
The room was on one bedroom apartment, a little kitchen area which was handy,

Cons:

2nd point for location was the parking issue, no where to park when you first turn up to check in, there is paid ($25 p/n) parking underneath but very small no good if you have a larger car. We had a Pacifica we were lucky each time we had to come in and out not many other cars parked so I had more room to move. To check in park up side street at Easy Park then walk back to Hotel to paid for parking & to get FOB for parking door.

The shower was hard to work our by the end we finally go the hand of it.

J’en parlerai a tout le monde qui visite Vancouver
Pros:

L’emplacement est extraordinaire. On avait une vue sur l’ocean et accès en 2min au parc Stanley qui est superbe a marcher. La rue Demen est oleines de restaurants en tout genre. Impossible de ne pas y trouver son compte

La chambre est pratiquement un 2 1/2 avec cuisine ( équipée ! ) frigidaire/ four/ micro-ondes

Pour le prix avec toutes ces choses je n’ai jamais vu ca

Cons:

La fenêtre reste a changer. Elle est d’origine et montre son âge mais sinon, tout est parfaiit

Great value for money
Pros:

Large room. Equipped kitchen. Excellent wi-fi and abundant hot water. Superb location, opposite the beach and on a street with many options to dine on a budget (Thai, Chinese, Persian, Arabic, etc). Well-serviced by public transport.

Cons:

It must be remembered that this is a two-star hotel. Facilities are not new and neither is bedding but the beds are comfortable.
Power-strips in every socket don't look safe, and there is no grab bar in the shower.

Pros:

L'albergo è in un ottima posizione per visitare la città, a due passi dalla bellissima spiaggia di English bay e da Stanley park. Inoltre è in una zona piena di negozi, ristoranti e supermercati, per ogni necessità.
la struttura non è moderna però dispone di tutto ciò che serve e la nostra camera era molto spaziosa.
Ottimo il fatto di poter usufruire del garage coperto!

Stayable!
Pros:

The location has pros and cons. It’s very near to English Bay beach and Stanley park which is very convenient, but it’s right across the bar which causes loud noise at night and affect our sleep. But overall it’s solid for a short stay. Nice staff though!

Cons:

It’s across the bar so it’s loud. And we have to pay $25 for parking.

Great location, old rooms, poor housekeeping
Pros:

The room was quite large, and well situated close to English Bay

Cons:

The room was quite dated, likely seventy years old. However, the dealbreaker was the overpowering stench of chlorine that housekeeping dispensed generously.
