Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were more comfortable than average and the exercise room was a nice touch, but there were some areas that needed improvement. The service was great and very helpful, but the location was a bit off the center and not the most appealing. The dining experience was not up to par, and the facilities could use some enhancements.

My stay at the hotel was just right for us - clean, cozy, and in a great location for exploring Vancouver. The rooms were comfortable, but it was a bit crowded with people struggling with the waffle machine. The service from Sunny and Suri was top-notch, especially the two male senior members of the staff who were extremely friendly and helpful. The location was convenient with easy access to central Vancouver, although walking alone at night felt a little sketchy. The dining experience was decent but nothing extraordinary, mainly aimed at keeping us going rather than offering a delightful meal. The facilities were satisfactory, with everything we needed for a pleasant stay.

My stay at the hotel was a great experience overall. The rooms were modernly decorated and had everything I needed, including a little fridge and a microwave. However, the closure without previous notice was a bit inconvenient. The cleanliness was good, except for the bottom of the bathtub which had a layer of filth in the grooves. Being next to the laundry facilities was handy.
