  This is a typical badly aging downtown hotel in need of significant cleaning and innumerable upgrades. Rooms are tiny and crammed with too much furniture--you can't even sit on the chairs or reach the table because they are crammed behind a bed. If you doubled the size of the room, there still would be too much furniture. Because of the furniture overload, cleaning staff are unable to adequately clean the rooms. Bathroom fixtures are aging, old, cracked and in serious need of cleaning. Pillows are shockingly old and flat--and smell like they're 25 years old. The air conditioner was filthy and barely worked (it was a rare hot day in Vancouver when we visited). The hotel is located close to Stanely Park, but be aware that it is quite a distance to any of the unique attractions on the far side of Stanley Park. There are many agitated and disturbed homeless people in the vicinity of the hotel--be cautious if you venture out at night. Front Desk staff were friendly and extremely helpful (the one positive of our stay). We ate at one of the restaurants on property--food was Ok, but service was indescribably slow and inattentive. We checked out two days early, and chose wisely to continue our vacation elsewhere. This was a substandard property. For relatively few more dollars, a traveler would be wise to select another property.

  Stayed here 4 nights. 1 blk from the Bay, spent every evening watching the sun go down a blk away at the bay beach. This is a wonderful location I will stay here again. Bathrooms are 1960's era but everything else was nice. no complaints
