Consistent Quality near the Beach
helpful stafffriendly staffrestaurant menutax charge
I found the staff very helpful and friendly. The location suited my travel needs. The hotel provided clean rooms, and that matters a lot. I also appreciated the restaurant menu choices.
I noticed extra tax charges on my bill. I think greater transparency would improve the customer experience.
Dining
9/10
The hotel offers a dining room. I had multiple meals there and enjoyed the salmon. West Coast Benny with salmon was also available for breakfast. The dining room staff were quick and professional.
Rooms
8/10
My room was clean and fresh. It had unassuming decor. Rooms have views of the bay. Other rooms overlook the parking lot. The walls are stained and could use scrubbing.
Facilities
9/10
The hotel has underground parking for $25 per day. Common areas are cute. There is no air conditioning in rooms but a ceiling fan is provided.
Location

The hotel is across the street from the beach. It is near Stanley Park. Granville Island is accessible by ferry. The hotel is located in English Bay and many rooms offer views of the bay.
