Location review insights for British Columbia, Canada, Hotels

-two locations on the carpet of my room that remained wet for the whole day of my check-in. One smelled like vinegar and the other one was in front of the mini fridge and was sticky. -there was some water on the bathroom floor which got on my big toe, I wiped my toe on the bath towel and it left a black toe print (still only a few hours after checking in). Maybe the floors are hard to clean because the mortar between the tiles are disintegrating. -random crumbs between my fresh bedsheets -breakfast sucks. The only protein is cold ham. No sausage no bacon no eggs. Even the hot chocolate is watery -whole hotel feels damp and outdated. Wouldn't pay $350 a night for this again

2 mice are running around in the breakfast area. Bitten by bedbugs in Room 605:(

A 5 star hotel wouldn’t rent out the room next to their check-in area to a club making it impossible to hear the front desk staff. They also couldn’t hear what I was saying. We stayed 3 levels above the check-in level (where the club is) and we could still hear the music. Loud base all night with drunk people in the elevators and lobby.

Had booked a double room for 7 nights mid-September 2017. Hotel is 15 minutes walk from nearest subway ( Joyce Collingwood ), part uphill. A small hotel with ground and first floor ; probably 20 odd rooms in total. Complimentary parking in the basement. External look of the hotel is unappealing being on the main road(Kingsway); reception is small but presentable. Were checked into a large room which was dull. Room had 2 Queen beds as the only room available at the time. Dark brown furniture, walls, carpet and curtains. A free standing air conditioner, no wardrobe. Room smelt musty and had large window at the busy main road level hence lacked privacy. No kettle, but a coffee percolator, which was inadequate for boiling water for tea. Bathroom though small had been renovated recently; had a clean and fresh feel. Staff applied air freshener on request. Next morning we asked to be moved. A similar room overlooking the side road was available with a slightly better colour scheme and new fitted wardrobe area. Reception agreed to move us and offered to see if a kettle was available. When it wasn't, and after mentioning it again, they kindly provided one on the 3rd day. We felt more settled after that. Wifi in 2nd room was good and cleaning reasonable. Points to bear in mind. This is a basic hotel. Rooms are large, colour scheme varies from room to room but furniture is the same and outdated. Bathrooms all appear to have been renovated. Very comfortable beds with nice white linen. The hotel is quiet, reception and cleaning staff are very polite and helpful. Nearby are a Safeway supermarket, mainly Vietnamese and Chinese restaurants, pizza take aways and a laundrette. Overall we found the area to be safe with good transport links. However since hotel is not in downtown Vancouver, we consider the hotel overpriced, given rooms need updating.

2 adults & teenage child, room was basically clean but hotel was very dingy, water stains on the ceiling, laminate coming off the countertop, counter not screwed to the wall, an old mattress left in the hall, very questionable and loud 'grunts' coming out of the room beside the stairway, sketchy parking area. okay for a really cheap one night stay if you absoultly need it - but we left after one night eventhough we planned on staying longer. look down kingsway a few blocks, you'll have better luck. it has a place for very cheap, one night, hostle type accommodation, but dont expect much and you wont be dissapointed.

5 stars with one foot note. The location and uber access isn't for everyone. So "location" aside, this is a truly fabulous hotel. Rooms were amazing, staff was absolutely most helpful and the design is special. It's attached to the large Marriott via a convention/meeting area. So I can imagine there are times when the crowds might be a bit tough. We were there during a hockey game weekend and didn't notice any special crowds other than a complete lack of Ubers/taxis. Which continually posed the biggest challenge for both days we were in town. Not sure why the shortage, but I know Uber is only recently "back" in Vancouver. The location is down at BC Place in Yaletown. A newish area that attempts a hip vibe but is really just at the edge of the more interesting section. On the "if you get lemons, make lemonade" scripture, we ended up just walking into town and the 1 or so Kilometer helped offset all the food we ate during our trip.

Hotel location is superb! with nearby coffee shop, restaurant, parks, beach and bus station. The hotel building/room/recep/parking were bit outdated, I guess a typical situation in vancouver but not that bad at all. They offer free hot drinks and ice infront of the lift. Parking spot is 25$ (not sure if its on a per night basis). They offer discounts for their specific nearby restaurants (take a look at their menu). All in all, we truly enjoyed our stay.

Room 327, 3 nights. The good: Location, renovated rooms, views, decent breakfast at pub (not included in room price). The bad: Where do I begin.... Parking facility in the rear is inadequate for space, why is it not secured? Anyone can break in ...the alley has plenty of drug users and homeless. Room windows are paper thin, bring ear plugs, you will need them, regardless of the floor. So much street noise, barely slept. Mouse trap in room, and everywhere in public areas, I witnessed a mouse in the lobby several times. Bed was ok, pillows are terrible, and what's with the plastic tags on the pillows? Overall, this is one of the worst hotels I've ever stayed at. No point in having newer looking rooms if you feel you have the same noise inside the room as outside. Mouse problem should have city health inspections there on a regular basis. I've stayed in other downtown Vancouver hotels in the past, none have ever had this problem.
