We stayed in July 2008, booked through Priceline and got a fairly large corner room on the 3rd Floor with a small balcony. The view wasn't that great but we never experienced any of the bad things mentioned by previous reviewers; the room was very clean, despite the subway works outside, it was always very quiet. The desk staff were... more

We stayed here July 4th till July 8th in a Junior Suite on the 12th floor. The view of the city and mountains and yes, even the ocean was spectacular. At night the lights were breath-taking from out large sliding glass door that led to the balcony. The room was large and had a nice comfortable bed. The bathroom was... more

I regret deeply for not reading the reviews on TripAdvisor before booking this hotel. Every negative things that the members mentioned on here are true! We booked under Expedia and was located on 3rd floor. The hallway was musty and narrow. The room was small and dirty. It doesn't seem like it has been kept well. The hotel is OUTSIDE... more

We bid $125 (us) for a 2 bed queen - I would not bid anymore than that. Positive - *rooms were just the right size for us * mall across the street had safeway, food courts, produce shop and one of the best chinese restaurants ( according to reviews) in Vancouver * #15 bus across the street took you into... more

My boyfriend and I stayed here for 5 days in early June. We booked via Expedia for $135/night (includes $10 food credit). Overall, hotels in Vancouver during high season is unbelievably expensive. We chose this hotel because it was on sale..believe it nor not, regular price is $180-$595/night here. This is definitely a 3-star hotel - nothing higher. We booked... more

This hotel has some serious issues. My husband and I were given a room in the hotel that was on the 4th floor. The hallways smelled like "a wet dog" and the carpet was dirty and "coming up" in areas. Our room was clean and decent, but the entire window faced a very noisy construction zone. We complained immediately and... more

I believe this hotel has two different classes of rooms - decent and ghetto! We booked and stayed in the off season. Lobby is nice, but our rooms was outdated and was not that clean. I say that there are different classes of rooms, because on our same floor we saw the housekeeping staff cleaning what seemed to be much... more

Okay, two issues right off the top. First, there is a new Vancouver *subway* and it is being built under the hotel. Lucky us. Second, this hotel is in two sections -- "The Tower" and the much older "Cambie Building." My room, #422, is in the older Cambie Building. So my comments may be at odds with some of the... more

I booked this hotel through Priceline at a higher rate than many better hotels in other cities in Canada. I am extremely appalled by the hygiene, service and location of the hotel. The coffee maker in the room is one of the dirtiest I have ever seen and there are also stain marks on the bedsheets. There were exposed aircon... more

We had a very spacious and clean room, which was excellent for the £35 priceline charge. This is not a downtown hotel, but the bus stops right outside, whisking you into the downtown area in no time.There's a shopping mall with banks, food courts and anything else you might want, right across the street. The staff were very friendly and... more
