  This hotel is extremely well priced for it's amenities and location. We were able to walk all over town and back, while out car sat safe inside the secured underground parking. They have a really nice restaurant and bar there too. I had eggs benedict for breakfast there and it was fantastic. The hotel was quiet, the staff was nice, and we had a great view from our window. It was a pleasant and hassle free stay.

  I was initially worried about staying at the Sandman Hotel Downtown Vancouver, because of prior, generally negative reviews. But I was pleasantly surprised when we arrived at the hotel. The decor is appropriate for the hotel style, the room we stayed in is very clean and all appliances are new and they work! The room is really small, though, i.e., you had to turn sideways to go from the bedroom area to the hallway leading to the bathroom, because the desk table was partly blocking that space. My husband had to muffle the air conditioner because it was making loud vibration noises. Hotel staff are wonderful, nice people and always accommodating. The Big Bus, which is one of the tour buses, stops at the Sandman, and the hotel location is the best! For the amount of money you pay, staying at the Sandman is one of the best values in town! Just make sure you don't spend most of your time in the hotel room. Oh - and the elevators! I also read somewhere that the elevators were slow - like a 20 minute wait. Not during our stay! In fact, the elevators worked quickly -as long as you got the handle on using your room key to operate those elevators. I thought the restaurant - Moxie's Grill - is good, but it's over rated. The food is "just ok." Others like it, but with what my husband and I ordered, it wasn't as good as we hoped it would be. My husband and I think we'd stay at the Sandman again, since Vancouver is just one of the best places to vacation anyway!

  i never been to Vancouver until early Dec this year. I heavily rely on the review to select the hotel so I also wanna offer some opinion to those who are planning to visit Vancouver. Sandman is a bit far from the downtown area. I didn't want to go out at night becuz it takes a long walk to nearby shops. There is no free internet and no fridge in hotel room. The hotel room is tiny and dark.
