    Bathroom needed a curtain that gave you more privacy as apartments across the street had a direct view in.

    Room was very clean. Nice bathroom and very comfortable bed and pillows. For a basic room it was very nice and had everything we needed.

    No Lift, Hotel is currently undergoing renovations rooms and appliances available are a little dated / old the air conditioning was loud and minimally effective as it is placed through the window and therefor blocked if you wish to close the curtains. So you have to choose between privacy and darkness or being cool.

    The Hotel staff were incredibly helpful, friendly and welcoming. The room was spacious and very clean and was one of the cheapest for an overnight with en-suite given it turned out to be Labor Day Weekend.

    A centrally located hotel with friendly staff and convenient transit access.

    The renovation work currently limits accessibility: there are no elevators, and you must climb a set of stairs to reach the reception. The included Wi-Fi is slow and sometimes unstable.

    Very centrally located hotel in downtown Vancouver with very kind staff. The rooms and facilities are clean and well cared for, though they show their age and feel a bit run down (ongoing renovation work will hopefully improve this). The stop for bus line 5 is right in front of the hotel entrance, offering an easy one-change connection to and from the airport via the Canada Line in about 35 minutes.

    The air conditioning was quite noisy and the bathroom fan was as well. No coffee maker. It looks a bit "scary" from the street but the room was clean and comfortable. It is an old former rooming house so it has an interesting history and layout, but it was ok.

    The accommodations were basic but clean and comfortable. Reasonable value for the price. The location on Robson was convenient. Close to amenities.

    We were visiting while the building was under renovation, so a little construction noise was heard during the day, but was very manageable. Our room AC wasn’t ideally positioned and blew most of the cold air to the ceiling, maybe install a deflector.

    Excellent location, clean rooms, wonderful staff! We would for sure stay again in future trips.

    Was under renovations and our room had some small broken items. Like the covers of drawers and the nob in the shower popped off. No problems that, made our stay worse. TV didn't work, but I didn't ask a staff member for help, so it may have been user error.

    Was in an amazing location! I had booked a room for 2 people, but we got a HUGE room! Was nice. NIce bath and shower. Air conditioning worked well. Smelled like lumber.

    Room doors slam really loud, they may need a door softener. A big chunk of the building was being renovated/demolished so you could smell different chemicals as you go up and down the stairs.

    Excellent location and friendly staff. Check in/out was a breeze. The room was clean, water temp and pressure was great, AC was good although the filter needed cleaning.

    The airco on the window was quite cold and noisy. After turning it off for the night, we couldn't get it working again.

    This 2-star hotel is on walking distance from shops, restaurants, and Stanley Park. Very welcoming friendly staff. The room is outdated but comfortable. The hotel is under maintenance, but the 1 night we stayed, we didn't hear any noise.
