A decent stay that wasn’t a $500 hotel bill. A bit dated, could use screens on the windows (I know, there aren’t a lot of bugs in Vancouver but still …). Clean, comfortable bed, decent amenities, had to pay for overnight parking but it was conveniently located. I’d stay here again.

The accommodation It’s nicely located, we mention that you are in a a student dorm. Means, there is no service or additional function. Nevertheless, very fair for the money, being in a very attractive area of Vancouver.

I stayed here with my family of 5. Main thing to know: this is more a hostel than a hotel. Cons: a little mold in the bathroom and kitchen. Parking was sparse, and I don’t remember seeing directions for where to park if the small onsite lot was full. We arrived late at night and had to find alternate parking 10 minutes away. The kitchen in our unit smelled strongly of meals that had been cooked there before. The room description was inaccurate re. how many people our unit slept, and our son had to sleep on a non pullout couch. But there were huge pros for us: very affordable and more spacious compared to other Vancouver options; the included breakfast was filling; our unit had gorgeous views of the mountains, water, sunset, and big beautiful trees; the location on the UBC campus is really interesting and convenient - close to museums, takeout, a drugstore, and a beach, and not far from nice areas to tourist like Kitsilano, Granville Island, and Stanley Park. A good no frills and unique lodging option in Vancouver!

I’ve stayed in a lot of properties throughout my life, from high end luxe to mediocre. We were very surprised at how run down and unkept Carey Centre is. We had two rooms over two nights. The first room had moldy shower walls and was in desperate need of painting. The towels were cheap and small. No shampoo or bath soap provided. No water or ice abaibke on our floor. If you didn’t fill your own bottle before 7:00 PM you were locked out of the main lobby area where the single home size water dispenser was located to serve the entire property. Day two we moved to another room. While there was wall-mounted soap and shampoo, there were no towels. Again, it was obvious the place hasn’t been painted or carpets clean in a long while. We Also thought it was odd there were wires dangling around - a/c connector plug hanging from the window (no a/c unit), door lock batteries hanging loose from the handle, and some kind of internet (booster) hanging from the hallway wall with the wires flopping in the wall. To summarize, the location is great when visiting UBC, but they clearly need to invest in being the property up to expectations of guests paying $160-$215/night.

2/10 Poor

When we checked in, the front desk forgot to mention that our floor had been freshly painted. As soon as we stepped out of the elevator, an overwhelmingly strong chemical odor hit us, making it almost impossible to breathe. Fortunately, the intense smell hadn't seeped into our room.

It’s a dorm. The room is worn but it was clean. Hot breakfast was included which was great. The location was great since we wanted to be on campus to pick our son up from school.

I understand this lodge is regular down space to be rented out as hotel space. It does not do this well. Stuffy rooms. No HVAC. Uncomfortable bed. Dirty and crumbling everything. The reviews raved about breakfast. This is what drove me to book this place over other options. Nope! It was college cafeteria food. Not good breakfast.

It is not a lodge. It is a dorm for the college. There were holes all over in the walls. Dirty. Run!

The room really needed to be painted - lots of scuffs and areas where plaster was scraped off etc. Large patch of wall in the hall needed repair. I know it's a dorm but those repairs should be done before the public pays to stay. We only received one towel and no face cloth and there were 2 of us staying for the night. Bed was very comfortable - another pillow or two would have been nice for sitting up in bed. Breakfast was good - thought we would be getting continental but there were eggs, bacon and pancakes available as well. Brown toast would be a nice option rather than just white bread!

2/10 Poor

We stayed at this property for seven nights total. On one morning, around 9:25 AM, I walked out of my second-floor room and was hit by a suffocating, overwhelming chemical odor. As I ran to the stairs to escape, the facility manager walked past me wearing a full-face gas mask. Within seconds, I couldn't breathe, my eyes were tearing up, my throat was swelling, and I was coughing uncontrollably. Out on the street, I found other guests suffering from the exact same symptoms. Shortly after, the fire department arrived and evacuated the entire hotel. When I returned around 6:00 PM, the front desk had no information. The hotel manager wasn't on site, but I managed to speak with the facility manager. He admitted there was an 'unknown chemical spill' in a second-floor storage room. Because of my severe physical reaction, I explicitly asked to be updated on the fire department's investigation so I could know what toxic fumes I had inhaled. It has been a week, and Carey Lodge has completely ignored the situation. They have sent zero communication to the guests who were exposed to these hazardous fumes. This level of secrecy and disregard for guest health is unacceptable and negligent.

Carey Center is a UBC dorm with rooms rented out to visitors. It is basic, bare-bones, but clean and comfortable. Staff are students, not hospitality professionals, nice and helpful but not always up to hotel standards; e.g. towels and soap were not provided until we asked. A very decent breakfast (eggs, bacon, pancakes, yogurt, terrible coffee) is included. The UBC campus setting is accessible and beautiful. Overall, a relatively good value for the money.
