The hotel is in a wonderful location with English Bay a couple of minutes walk away and lots of great restaurants nearby to choose from. The hotel was clean and the staff were friendly but the room and the hotel itself was a bit dated and in need of some modernisation. The window air con unit was very noisy (too loud for sleeping) and there was a strange smell in the room which we mentioned to reception. Overall would recommend for the location but could do with a refresh!

Expedia double booked me into a queen suite. The hotel ended up giving me a call and letting me know the room was unavailable, and I was able to negotiate a similar priced room with them albeit with two beds. The process for refunds with Expedia was a bit frustrating and I was left wondering who lets them false advertise and double book a suite, leaving me without a room. I got my refund, but it was not without a reminder from Expedia that the room was normally non refundable (even though it was not through fault of my own). I am not satisfied with Expedias process and I feel they should be more lenient and convey a more apologetic message when it’s their fault for advertising a suite that wasn’t available. The hotel itself was lovely and I’m happy they accommodated us despite the hiccup. It’s right by a beautiful beach trail, within walking distance of restaurants, cafes and shopping. The only complaint I have is the sink was clogged. We only stayed one night so didn’t try the amenities, although it seems they had many. I highly recommend this hotel for a great experience in Vancouver, but I wouldn’t book a last minute stay through Expedia again.

Perfectly mediocre

Visited for the weekend, 2 adults and our teenage son. Friendly front desk staff and housekeepers. Fantastic location, especially for Stanley Park and waterfront access. Vibrant area with lots of restaurants, etc to choose from. Hotel was fine. Everything is dated and perfectly mediocre - it is a Best Western after all. Beds and bathroom were clean. Room had a fridge, microwave, and coffee maker - what more do you need for a quick trip to Vancouver. Decent parking, especially for in the city.
