This was a good place to stay for many reasons. It is a straight shot to everything, being on Kingsway you can get anywhere very quickly (as quickly as you can with the traffic). The bed was very comfortable. Not to mention the staff was very friendly. At one point my toilet clogged and since they didn't have anyone to fix it that day, they were willing to move me to a different room for the time being. I was alone that week, and always felt very safe which was a huge plus. The only pieces of criticism I really have was the fact that I had left my GPS in sight in my rental car and the security guy, doing his rounds, felt it necessary to call me at 2am to let me know. I had already been asleep for a few hours. When I told the front desk that I appreciated him wanting to keep my personal belongings safe, I did not appreciate being woken up in the middle of the night. The guy at the front desk defended him but also said he would mention it to him. The only other thing I can mention is that the internet, like most hotel internet, wasn't the best in the world. It was slow and you had to reconnect every 24 hours. So, every time I came back to the hotel, I had to reconnect to the internet. All in all, my week in Vancouver was fantastic, and this hotel was a good part of that. It was my home base and it was wonderful for that. I would (and probably will) stay here again when I come back to Vancouver.
