Pros:

Situated next to the BC Place Stadium, this hotel made our Fifa experience even more better. The design is modern, and the lounge has great food and you can see the Science Center here, where the globe is transformed into a soccer ball. Definitely worth the five star status.

Average experience
Pros:

First time staying at the JW Parq hotel and first time in Vancouver. I stay at a lot of Marriotts internationally, mostly the Autograph collection. But in this case, I decided to go for the JW Parq because the views seemed like they would be better. I'm an amateur photographer and splurged for a corner suite, high floor, to take some city shots. The view technically is phenomenal... but there's a film on the windows that makes it near impossible to get a good photo. I'm sure there's a good reason for the film -- perhaps even required -- but I'd never encountered it before and it did unfortunately spoil the experience for me, particularly for the price of the room (well over $700 per night). Even without taking photos, it made the view look like the city was covered in smoke or smog. The room itself also has a weird layout. The small bedroom is sectioned off from the living area, so if you're in the bedroom there's not much of a view. And the living area has a long uncomfortable couch with no pillows for support. Some of the decor seemed tired and needs to be updated. However, the deep bathtub was a treat. That said, there were also a lot of pros to the hotel. The customer service was excellent. The spa is fantastic and the treatments I received were very good and relaxing. There's also a nice relaxation lounge. Room service was actually really delicious -- home-made pasta! And the Executive Lounge is large with a lot of seating areas (though most not comfortable for dining or working). I was disappointed one has to pay for wine, however. The hotel lacks the luxury of the Autograph collection hotels, but is generally fine. I just think for the price of the room, the overall stay was unfortunately just average.

A great stay in Vancouver
Pros:

We had a wonderful time at the JW Marriott Parq. The service was extraordinary. From the moment we were greeted at the front door, every staff member was courteous and over the top helpful. We found our room very comfortable and peaceful with a beautiful view of the water. It was so much fun to watch the dragon boats racing from the chaise. The bathroom materials were very similar to the Ritz in Portland. The only downside is that there really isn't a beautiful hang out spot in the lobby, but the executive lounge made up for this. We have stayed at the Fairmont Pacific Rim previously, and actually prefer this location. There is a great walk around the water right outside the front door and you are not next to all the cruise ship crowds. We found the service comparable to the Fairmont. Thank you Parq staff for a very memorable stay. Good luck to Canada in the World Cup.

Pros:

10/10 experience. I’ve stayed here twice and each time it was perfect. The rooms are spotless and beautiful. The view was great. The fitness room is 10/10. The location is great when you’re on vacation. It gives me Vegas big hotel vibes in the best way. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else when going to Vancouver.

Very disappointed
Pros:

The room decor was beautiful, the reception staff were helpful printing out some paperwork, at a cost of course

Cons:

My first room was above the terrace bar with loud music, I complained and was given a higher room but had 2 hours wasted sorting out the new room . Apparently the 1st room I got are not usually given to guests because of the noise , the manager phoned and apologised, but a small token gesture would have been nice , my request had been for a quiet room I was staying 2 nights and wonder why as a Bonvoy member I had been singled out , need to get more customer service training across the board .

Fantastic Location, Good Executive Lounge But Not the Best Rooms
Pros:

We stayed here one night on the way to the airport (travelling from the Sunshine Coast). The location is phenomenal: steps from the beautiful sea wall and False Creek and close to Sky train (it was only about half an hour to the airport and that includes waking time!).

We stayed in a suite with lounge access. The suite had phenomenal views of the city and False Creek. The bathroom was amazing with a deep soaker tub (with crazy views)separate walk in shower and a separate toilet cubicle. As nice as the bathroom, the rest of the suite was very odd:
The living room had a odd and very uncomfortable couch and there didn't seem to be any AC in the bedroom so it was hot. My wife and I both noticed how uncomfortable the pillows were, not something I usually notice but it was hard to sleep....

The club lounge had good food options (breakfast and evening appetizers), cash bar but a nice wine selection with reasonable prices but the seating was limited and mostly couches/lounge chairs that made eating challenging.

The best part of the hotel were the staff, everyone was super friendly.

Waited too long to come back! Amazing service and products. Will definitely be coming back more often.
Pros:

I spent two nights at the JW Parq during a recent trip to visit family. The JW and the Douglas (sister property attached) is part of the Parq casino complex near false creek.

The lobby can be hectic but owing to me being there super early (more on that later) it was nice and quiet. It’s a large open comfortable space, but just know the casino can be busy and is high end so there can be a lot of people floating around.

I had hiccups with my flights, and had to take a super early one. I was hoping for an upgrade due to my bonvoy status, but was hoping even more that I could get a room to rest shower etc. Dan at the front desk was amazing, said that he’d be happy to get me a room as one was available but that it wouldn’t be an upgrade but I could wait. I much preferred getting in early, so told him that was perfect. I appreciated their willingness to do this and it went a long way.

The last time I stayed here was in one of their suites, so I was curious what a basic room looked like. Very similar to other JWs in that it was large, spacious, airy and inviting. The bathroom was also very nice with a large shower and a seperate toilet. The view was meh owing to a lower floor, so just a view of the stadium wall next to the hotel but this added some privacy.

Elevators were always quick and I didn’t have to wait whether going up or down. The lounge is one of the best I’ve seen with great staff and great food options. It can get busy, so the size is appreciated. The fitness centre is extremely large with lots of good equipment and a great view. The only downside to this property is that it only has 1 small hot tub shared between the two properties. Room service was quick and a decent portion and tasted great.

All in all an excellent stay. Great service from wait staff to doormen. Well worth it in my view and I’ll come back soon. Kudos.

We enjoyed this hotel and had no complaints.

Pros:

Location is very good, close to Yaletown and can take a water taxi to most tourist areas. Room was spacious, had a decent closet to hang up clothes, and the bathroom was nice and actually had a fan which a lot of places don’t.

Cons:

Casino in the property and close to arena makes for a different vibe and crowd, lively not relaxing. I understand some people would like that but it’s a different experience than other nice hotels for that reason.
