During my stay at the hotel, I found it to be a mixed experience. The location was great being close to the Granville strip and entertainment venues, and I felt comfortable walking to and from our concert at night. However, the rooms were a bit of a letdown as they felt like a rustic football locker room directly above a night club, which affected the overall quietness and comfort of my stay.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was excellent, right downtown, making it very convenient for exploring Vancouver.

I have mixed feelings about this hotel. The location was convenient but bordering on the slightly seedier end of Granville, close to downtown Vancouver and lots of restaurants. However, the rooms felt like tiny dark boxes vibrating from the adjacent club, making it difficult to sleep before 3 am.

Despite some room issues like the window and missing remote control, my stay was generally comfortable with good insulation from neighboring noises. The friendly staff were helpful, though there was an awkward incident with housekeeping entering. The hotel's location is central and convenient for exploration, but the surrounding noise could be bothersome. The dining experience, while included in the price, was not impressive. Overall, a decent stay with a few drawbacks.

The hotel is in a convenient location for shopping, bars, and restaurants, making it perfect for anyone looking to explore the city.

The hotel offers comfortable rooms, but the smell could be improved. It was perfect in terms of cleanliness and quietness, yet the vibrations from the adjacent club made sleeping difficult before 3 am. The staff did a wonderful job at providing clean linens, new toiletries, and nicely made beds daily, although some were not overly friendly when concerns were raised. The location, although convenient, is in a slightly seedy part of town. The dining experience had good value but was marred by poor-tasting food. Overall, the facilities were adequate.

I had a wonderful experience at the hotel. The location was great, right in an interesting trendy shopping district with beautiful architecture. The rooms were tiny but amazing, though they could have been a bit cleaner. The service, especially Vincent at the front desk, was helpful despite some issues with allergies during our stay and a mix-up with our key. The price was reasonable for Vancouver downtown. The dining options tasted below par, reminding me of puke and orange juice, but the facilities overall were satisfactory.

The hotel offers comfortable rooms at front. While they may be a bit overpriced for their size, the stay was pleasant overall. The service was friendly and accommodating, excluding our experience with rude and unfriendly behavior. The location, though in a 'seedy' part of town according to some, was great for accessing different areas of Vancouver easily. The dining experience had both positive and negative notes but was included in the price we paid. The facilities met expectations, adding to the overall experience.
