I like the property because it is near by and easy to go around downtown but it is a bit costly! I spent $500 par night but the staff are always busy If you want towel, you have to go downstairs and get it by yourself, and the room cleaning not so good they don’t fill up tissue and napkins as well The cleaning lady not cleaning good

It was fine.

Nice to have two food options on site, good location for downtown activities. Parking was just weird - guess they’re resurfacing the parkade and getting around was a challenge. Extra costs for parking and pets plus lots of taxes - tourism? Eco? Service? Don’t know as they were all abbreviated - but they certainly bumped up the cost. Room was small but the shower was nice. Staff seemed a bit indifferent.

Excellent location. Small but clean rooms. Lots of dining options. Our only complaint was that the bathroom was so small you had to step into the shower to shut the door. I think that could fix it by just putting in a slider.

This hotel is well situated. We stayed in the north tower and had a corner room which was quite spacious. There are only two elevators and delays are possible in the morning and afternoon. The decor is not very exciting and they could use pictures on the walls. The staff was very helpful.

This hotel was in the perfect location for going to an event at Rogers Arena and BC Place. There was no breakfast offered but I guess that’s because Moxies and Shark pub & Grill is attached to the hotel but maybe some kind of discount could have been offered to hotel guests. Parking garage was under construction and very small to get around but made it work. Overall I would stay there again.
