A decent hotel with great ocean views, conveniently close to both the beach and stores. The additional charge for breakfast is totally worth it—definitely get it! The only downside was that there’s a pub below the hotel, which is also where breakfast is served, and our room was near the laundry room, so it was very loud when we were trying to sleep, even past midnight.

Not a safe place

The room was nice and comfy. The cleaning staff only came the first day we were there out of 3. We had so much built up trash it was gross. i had to be on constant alert when outside cause of the homeless and drug addicts all around the building and parking lot. There was no security at all there. My first night after driving 15 hours to arrive at 330am I was told my the night janitor I ran into in the parking lot while trying to find the entrance to the building that women arnt safe in the area and we should not go outside alone. It was just me and my daughter on the trip. I was told by the front desk it's a safe building cause no one can go up with out a key card yet other guests were constantly letting other people in the elevator without seeing their room card. The last day and a half I was there the while floor I was staying on smelt like marijuana. I had to pay $25 a night to park in the parking lots in the back of the building that had very small spots and no security at all. My car was dinged by other vehicles at least 7 times judging by the paint gouges chips in my paint on my new telsa! This was my first experience of Vancouver and I left a day early cause I just could not take it anymore. I constantly felt uneasy and unsafe. I will never go back to this city again due to it. I highly regret staying there!

The staff were friendly, approachable and helpful. The room was a good size and comfortable, unfortunately, we discovered a mouse in the room and a family of pigeons on the balcony, which could have used some sprucing up i.e. bird mess on the furniture and floor. The large glass doors needed replacing from the room to the balcony. Overall not as expected from a Best Western Plus hotel. We look forward to your response to this review.
