Pros:

Location. The things you would reasonably expect in the hotel that weren't were available at modest cost nearby.

Cons:

The absence of coffee tea making facilities the appalling TV reception and the construction site operating outside the window.
Very poor communication. Basil Fawlty would be proud.
There were times when I was looking forward to going home just to be able to enjoy the World Cup.
Came up short on a LOT of facilities that I had previously become accustomed to at significantly cheaper hotels earlier in my journey north in the US states of Washington and Oregon.
Luckily the things that aren’t available in the hotel are available for reasonable cost at various nearby outlets.
To be fair. On Booking.com it doesn’t promise TV. Nor does it say anything about tea and coffee making facilities...or the absence thereof.
In the US such provision seems to be standard. Is Vancouver that far behind the times?
Newly decorated. Has...got hot and cold running water and the wonders of electricity. That would have been considered awesome...a hundred years ago.
The temperature regulator didn’t work properly. You could open the window...on to the construction zone.

Pros:

Such a lovely boutique hotel. Recently renovated, that surprised me, and very well done. Very quiet, except for construction, early in the morning. They are working on a building, next door. The drilling was very annoying- about 7:45-3 in the afternoon. After the drilling and demolition is over, the construction will start, so if you plan on sleeping in, it is only possible on the weekend. I will stay again, and hopefully the construction will be finished. In a great section of Robson street, with many wonderful test. And coffee shops, about a 6 block walk to the beach.

It was fine for the two days I needed.
Pros:

The location was good.

Cons:

The hotel seems to have been still having construction work done so there was a lot of noise, it’s right beside an open excavation for construction works of a new building and the excavator machine noise was loud. The rooms are very small as is the bathroom, the shower space is tiny with a shower curtain that your almost wrapped up in. The TV had no local tv. Channels. The deadlock on the door didn’t work as the correct installation work on the door hadn’t been done so that the deadlock could engage so that felt unsafe.

Needs improvement
Pros:

Location was great. Rooms newly renovated.

Cons:

The WiFi didn’t work and when it did it was very poor. Did go to reception and they gave us another code but they also didn’t work. As the tv only works through wifi, we couldn’t use the tv either. As we were from overseas we really need to use the wifi.

Also hotel is very noisy as we could hear everyone check in and out from our room even though we were away from reception. I’d hate to have had the rooms that were right next to reception.

Aldo no coffee available in the rooms or anywhere in the hotel.

Pros:

Het hotel is zojuist gerenoveerd en ziet er keurig uit.

Cons:

Er is geen lift. Zelfs om bij de receptie te komen moet je trappen op!
De kamer was wel heel erg klein!
De prijs daarentegen erg hoog.
