we stayed in this hotel back in october and found it to be not that bad. some of the reviews on here make it out to be in a location that is like a vice area. if you are put off by peep shows then yes there are a couple across the road, and there are some beggars dotted around,... more

Hotel was nice and clean, decent included breakfast at the attached Wings restaurant and excellent value for money. It's only drawback really is the area in which it is situated - lots of "peep show" type places around and the location is generally rather seedy and well populated by suspiciously well dressed beggars. That said however, we didn't ever feel... more

The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel was comfortable enough although the room was quite small and the water wasn't particularly hot. My main concern was the area in which the hotel is situated. There are quite a number of x-rated venues around the hotel - not the ideal area for a family or a woman on her own... more

We stayed at the Howard Johnson as the price (especially) and the location were what we were after. It was our first time in Vancouver though. The Hotel itself is presentable, with a moderate size lobby, elevators to all floors and clean throughout. The rooms themselves are more on the small side than moderate, but with 2 double beds in... more

This was the worst hotel i have ever stayed at and i hope that no one has to put up with the same horrible experience that we had to endure. My husband and I are easy going and dont let much bother us, but this hotel... it was something else! As we walked to our hotel from where our bus... more

We arrived from the airport after a long haul flight and were greeted by friendly, welcoming staff. The room was small and a little dark with a view over a back alley way and some power cables. The aircon unit was noisy and set the a window which ment it was ineffective at night-time because it was covered by curtains... more

We stayed for two nights in the Home office suite. It was equiped with microwave, fridge, coffee maker, sitting area, king size bed. The bathroom was very small and the room very, very dark. There were two small windows overlooking an alley. The second night we were woken up by loud music playing which continued until around 1.30 a.m. On... more

Stayed at the Howard Johnson for 4 nights at the start of our trip and for 2 nights before we flew home. Once you're through the door, the hotel is great for the price. The hotel lobby is quite smart and our room was good. However, it is on a street full of 'iffy' shops & bars, which made for... more

Good thing about the hotel is that it's central, that doesn't mean it's in a great location cos it's surrounded by strip joints and cheap kebab shops, but it's not too far to walk to walk away from it to somewhere nicer (although I wouldn't walk around here as a single gal late at night, or even early evening). They... more
