Hard to find a breakfast place nearby. Vincinity to venues is great. Stairwells were very dirty. Had to use because elevators were so slow and there was a big lineup after the concert. Good sushi places nearby. Rooms were updated and in fairly good condition and clean. Being downtown there are issies with homeless people and it did not seem very safe at night. Swimming pool was freezing.

Closest accommodation to Rogers Arena. Nice renovations. Only complaint was an overpowering deodorizer or cleaner used in the room. It actually made us feel unwell. Will not stay here again as a result.

This hotel is a great location if you are attending Rogers for an event. HOWEVER if you don't like waiting 15 plus minutes for an elevator request a room on the lower floors. At best one elevator was working at a time and was constantly full even after you waited 15 min for it to arrive. Moxies is in the hotel for food which was great, everything is very convenient.

We stayed on Oct 4-5. I brought my 12 year old daughter and her friend to their first concert. I’ll begin by saying yes I understand that nights with big events are busy. We got to the hotel at 5pm. Check in is 4pm. Our room was not ready till 645pm. My daughter and her friend had to get dressed in the shark club bathroom and in the lobby as we needed to get ready to go to concert. I asked if we were gonna get a discount and the lady said they would give me free parking but we didn’t drive there. I get that they are busy but on busy weekends they should have more staff. Very disappointed and will not be returning as for a $500 room for 7pm late check in and 11am check out is not ok.

Great hotel but our room smelled gross. Near the bathroom sink it smelled very badly of cat pee so every time we entered the room that’s what we smelled. Other than that it was good. We booked it because of how close it is to Roger’s Arena.
