Would you stay with this sign posted?

The front desk clerk was having a medical issue when we arrived which was causing some confusion and difficulty in conversation. The flier posted in the elevator stated there would be a bed bug inspection next week. While this may be mandatory for hotels, posting in this manner gave us much pause in staying so we took our bags back down and declined the reservation. Hotel was not the appearance suggested online nor would it rate a 9.0.

Our 4th time staying here, staff are amazing as always and rooms are beautiful. Only gripe this trip was that the water in the room we were in must not have been used in awhile, as it took a few minutes to clear up and get hot, and then the temperature of the rooms was way too hot for me. To my best efforts it doesnt appear you can control the room temp anymore (switch to AC for example), and it wasnt noticable until it was late at night, so no staff on site. Regardless, wont stop us from coming again 😎🙂

I was very happy knowing my expenses for my stay were contributing to housing for Native American communities. The art was very exquisite and I couldn't get enough of it. I will certainly be bqck again. Thank you!

My primary disappointment with this hotel was it boasted about the "art". I find BC Indigenous art to be quite beautiful. Unfortunately there was very minimal on display, other than the beautiful table in the back area. It is also worth noting, the location is right outside of China town and a few blocks from the infamous East Hastings. The people were nice but we had too stand outside for quite a while to be let in and be checked in.

The hotel was extremely comfortable and clean--wonderful natural bathroom products that smelled amazing! We slept so well and the hotel was super quiet. The only issue is the surrounding neighborhood/area. We found the amount of public drug use and unhoused individuals in various stages of intoxication, undress, and questionable hygiene rather disturbing.

The hotel is in a very convenient location in downtown with walking distance to restaurants, shops and the convention center. The rooms are spacious, clean and have nice ambience. They also have a light breakfast option in the morning! The only issue for me was that the toilet was possibly leaking and so it was flushing every 5-10 mins which I had to turn off after use.

My daughter and I stayed here for the proximity to BC stadium which was great! The staff and the quality of the room were great but the surrounding area did not feel safe late at night. All in all I would likely stay again for a similar situation

We are very disappointed in the relaying back and forth with this hotel as we didn't have a credit card and they weren't willing to budge even though they were willing to let us do a cash deposit. We left to go get our cash deposit after we told them we didn't have a credit card and when we got back they told us that we had to pay for the room with a credit card. Very very disappointed

To start, the location just felt unsafe with a lot of drug use and suspicious people around. We were greeted by the front desk person when we checked in. He was really friendly. Got up to the room and noticed how warm it was. When we tried to adjust the temp, it didn't work. We called the front desk, and he came up and tried himself and couldn't get it to work either. He then said it was a central unit and that he would contact them and fix it. It was never fixed. The room was very warm, too warm, our whole stay there. Would not recommend this place at all.
