Pros:

The location was handy to attend a concert at the Thunderbird. Sheets were a bit scratchy.

One night - no plan, but a good room to rest.
Pros:

Was in Vancouver for a concert on the UBC campus, great location, food options after 11 were sparse but if your up to a walk/trip late at night there were more further out. Room was clean, well equipped and quiet. Would probably be amazing for extended stays!

Only complaint is the amount of lights that are on. Exterior hall lights seemed to be always on and the light flooded under the door. Add the microwave and fridge leds made it a bit annoying. This only really applies to people who are light sensitive and find even the smallest light annoying (like me 😁)

Pros:

Just a perfect space—mini kitchen with dishes and pots and pans and complimentary coffee and tea with a Nespresso machine and a microwave and oven and full fridge. The bed was extremely comfortable and the shower and bathroom were clean and included complimentary shampoo, conditioner, and body and hand soap. A perfect space that was perfect for our needs. We stayed for only one night but would have been comfortable to stay for many more. I'm already looking forward to returning. Thank you!

Pros:

This is my third time staying at Gage Suites in a year and honestly I wouldn’t stay anywhere else.
You have a full size kitchen and supermarket within walking distance. Beaches are within walking distance. It is safe and clean.

Very good accommodation on the outskirts of Vancouver at a better price than city centre, will need to bus it or Uber into Vancouver city though about 25min by car or 45min by bus

Pros:

We love UBC and our daughter, a UBC alumna, lived in a suite in Gage Hall during the pandemic years and loved it! We were hoping our hotel room would have been as spacious as her suite but instead it was quite tight for two people, with no dining area. Still, we had a good stay and the price was great.
