At first sight, this hotel is not that great. There is a helpful staff but our room was very small, our bathroom was tiny and the sink was actually in the room on the opposite side as the bathroom. The furniture in the room was awkwardly placed and therefore made the room seem even tighter. There was a TV which... more

I chose this hotel because it was simply the only one at a reasonable price in that area of downtown Vancouver. I didn't expect much.

Also, the only downside really was that everything in the rooms is... more
