Categories

Cleanliness
3.5
Multiple reviews report serious issues: black mold above shower head, greasy/stained towels, hair in tub, filthy closet/door tracks, and repeated failures to provide housekeeping during multi-night stays—significant cleanliness problems.
Service
10
Mixed but polarizing: one guest rates front desk and maintenance as extremely helpful (staff described as going out of their way and rated 10), while several other guests reported being dismissed, housekeeping requests ignored, and poor responses at checkout. Strong positive staff interactions in some stays support a high score despite inconsistency.
Location
10
Consistently praised: convenient walking access to Yaletown, Canada Place/Coal Harbour, Seawall, stadiums and local restaurants. Some nearby blocks noted as rough, but overall location is a clear strength.
Room Quality
5.5
Room quality is inconsistent: some upgraded rooms (e.g., #1004) were described as fabulous, but many rooms showed signs of aging—poor shower heads, broken bedside stands, poor lighting, mold, and moisture-damaged cabinetry.
Amenities
9.3
Positive mentions of on-site amenities: penthouse sitting area with sunset views, well-stocked kitchen in some units, in-room coffee/tea, microwave and refrigerator. No consistent breakfast offering noted.
Value for Money
5
Several guests felt the property was expensive for a tired/outdated hotel and not worth the price given cleanliness and maintenance issues.
Food and Beverage
6.5
Limited mentions: no breakfast included; dinner was described as decent but nothing extraordinary. Food/Beverage neither a strong positive nor a major negative.
Overall Experience
9.4
Overall impressions are mixed but frequently buoyed by excellent staff interactions and a prime location; however, pervasive cleanliness and housekeeping failures tempered stays for several guests. The high score reflects that many guests still found the location and staff made their stay very positive.

Disappointed unfortunately
Pros:

The location is good.

Cons:

Im very disappointed with the service. I went in person to the reception and requested a housekeeper to clean the room in the morning. I came back to the room after a very long day excited to come in a clean room and to my surprise the room was not cleaning. I was very disappointed. I called reception to express my disappointment and the only thing they offered was that i leave the room so they can send someone to clean it. It was 7pm!

Overall great staff, convenient place, easy transportation links, great restaurants nearby.
Pros:

Front desk and maintenance staff extremely helpful, prompt, and accommodating. Staff went out of their way to assist. Would rate them a 10! Penthouse area was lovely to sit and watch the sunset and kitchen, though we didn't use it, was well stocked. Rooms had coffee/tea, microwave, and refrigerator. Location overall was very good to walk 20 min. could reach Canada Place/Coal Harbor, 5 minutes to Yaletown, 10 minutes to Seawall/harbor. Easy walk to the stadiums. Overall rooms were quiet even though near busy intersection with blackout curtains. Overall 7.5-8 rating. Staff 10!

Cons:

We actually stayed 2 times, 5 nights than another single night as we took an overnight trip to Victoria. Moved from 1007 to 1004 which was fabulous upgrade. 1007 needs attention, mold, cleanliness, shower, bed. Return visit we stayed in 1102 which was much better than 1007, but not as nice as 1004. 1102 we noted to staff poor shower head, but overall room lighting was poor.
One has to be careful to avoid a few blocks as the neighborhood in one direction is a little rough, but we were not bothered, just hard to see local drug and homeless issues in any city around the world.
We were in town for the Bruno Mars concert. Reasonable accommodations were challenging to find closer to the venue, but in the end, the location worked well, especially with Yaletown eateries, Granville, and the marina close by.

☹️ Felt unheard and dismissed at your hotel.
Pros:

No breakfast included. We did have dinner and it was decent. Nothing was extraordinary but was standardly ok.

Cons:

The bathroom had serious issues like…
The towel bar right beside the door is too close as I actually hit my forehead on it going out!
The shower curtain bar was hanging loose and low.
The curtain wouldn’t stay closed!
Above the shower head is black MOLD!
The bath towels were both greasy black stained and some were worn to the point of holes in them!
Both the pressed board (cheap) wood cabinets were deteriorated from the swelling of moisture.
One on the wall above toilet, and one on under the sink. Also the body soap in the shower was completely empty! Checking out in the morning, our complaints to the front desk upon checkout gave us no discounts for the nasty room.
Should we tell our experience with the Grand Park and Suites to the internet?

It was a good stay
Pros:

The location of the property is great.

Cons:

Was supposed to get cleaning every second day and then they arrived Monday to clean the room but I was working and asked to get cleaning Tuesday and Thursday and they offered to take the garbage and change towels on Monday and then I never heard from the cleaning staff again.

Stains, clumps of hair and towels/curtains on the floor made for a sub-par stay and experience.
Cons:

Cleanliness of the rooms was poor. Checked into the room late in the evening and noticed the shower curtain down on the floor and clumps of hair. Alerted staff twice the next day, was told it was cleaned and came back to find it was still dirty. The bed was made with a clear large stain on it. Eventually changed rooms. Despite booking two rooms and spending nearly $2,500 at this hotel over the course of 3 nights, was only offered $90 in free parking as compensation.

Pros:

The location is fairly close and accessible to many places around downtown Vancouver.

Cons:

The TVs did not work half the time and we had to keep calling the front desk to send someone over to reset the system. Also, when the staff cleaned our room, they didn't give us enough towels as we initially had and we had to call down for more towels. They also did not replenish our empty tissue paper box.
