The location is excellent, right by the beautiful English Bay and a quick walk to Stanley Park. The hotel is fairly basic, but just fine. Nice to have a bath, not just a shower.

Great location.
We arrived very very late (after a flight delay) but felt very welcomed.
Very clean, great bed. Bathroom could use a renovation but had everything we needed.

Take earplugs if street noise bothers you. Reasonable price but you get what you pay for.
The area of the property is great, right by the water in the west end. The main issue is the age of the building and how it is maintained. It is extremely old and dingy, the corridors will give you the creeps. The room was very large and even had a small kitchen which was nice, all the paint on the walls and the carpets/ceiling could get some love. I couldn't shower since only the bath faucet was in working condition and not the shower head. The small A/C was working well and the TV had SHAW cable, my room was right on the Denman street with a nice view but the noise wasn't bad enough for me not to sleep. I decided to sleep over the sheets since I assumed the bed would be in the same condition as the room, bed was comfortable.
Location is really the only reason to come here, $215 for one night in the middle of the week is pretty steep, especially when the parking is $20 for a day, which is more than other local parking spots.

Kinda nice but looks dangerous
We arrived late due to our flight changing, and the people at the desk were kind, but did not offer to help us with our luggage. The taxi cab driver that dropped us off didn’t like helping us either people in that particular area don’t seem to have a strong customer service value system. I have worked decades in Customer service and unfortunately this is a trend that I have seen overtime and it seems to be increasing in a lack of customer service the place was clean and it was comfortable. My daughter with disabilities had no problem navigating in the room, so that’s why I give it a thumbs up, due to my daughter and husband liking the room for the television and the bigger beds.

We had a nice taxi cab drive out.
The accommodation offered is effectively a holiday apartment rather than simply a hotel room, with an eat in kitchen. It is a short walk from English Bay beach and Stanley Park and a wide range of restaurants and shops. It suited me perfectly.
We had a great two night stay. The hotel was quite basic, but we had a room with a kitchenette and partial view of the sea. The staff were great, friendly, happy and helpful. Not shiny but did all we wanted.
Charming hotel with very spacious room walking distance to English Bay. Safe and clean. It has a 90's vibe to it which makes it unique.

Checked in and out process is quick and easy. The hotel is clean considering it is also very old. Beds are comfortable. Only complaint is the noise coming from the outside at night.
We couldn't stay because of the room. We went around the corner to the Best Western and stayed there instead. Not sure how this place has a 7+ star rating
