Good value for money
Pros:

Location, the rooms and the persons in charge of the reception desk.

The only thing I have to remark is that the last day of our stay we discovered a little mouse in the room. Immediately we were changed to other room.

Pros:

Great location to everything we wanted to see in Vancouver. Hire bikes across the road at English beach were very helpful. The staff were helpful and friendly and were able to accommodate early check in which was greatly appreciated after getting off a 14hr flight. Room was tidy and enough for us to be comfortable for our 3 day stay

Cons:

Our room was a little loud at night due to the bar being underneath but it wasn’t a big issue

very nice place
Pros:

Location for Stanley Park is great

Cons:

Driving to it and finding the parking lot. Streets are narrow in Vancouver, and the parking lot is up an ally behind the hotel.

Best Western Hotel offers a very good value for money. I would definitely recommend it.
Pros:

Location was fantastic. You're basically right at the sea. Two minutes walk and you're at the beach. You can have a wonderful steak at the Cactus Cafe Club while enjoying the sea view.
If you go out of the Hotel and turn right, there are a variety of cuisines and Cafe's nearby as well as Liquor stores. If you turn left, You can find Safe way and Drug World in a walking distance.
If you wish to visit the Capilano Suspension Bridge, the concierge can help you. You might even get a %5 discount voucher from them. If you wish to get on the shuttle bus to Capilano, it takes you 40 minutes on foot to Canada Place (the first stop), or 20 minutes to Blue Horizon Hotel (the second stop). You should book your ticket online beforehand, but do not need to present it in order to get on the Shuttle.

Cons:

Nothing really. The reception is rather small and nothing fancy, the water feature was broken, but the staff were very polite and helpful. There's a restaurant with very friendly staff, who are happy to help you as you enter.
