Having spent my entire adult life living in this particular neighborhood, I’ve always appreciated managements commitment to the hotel’s curb appeal.
Despite a short but sweet stay, this independently owned and operated hotel is an iconic heritage Vancouver treasure with a stunning lobby and modern finishings, both in the guest rooms and in the common areas too.
My check in process was super smooth. The two ladies were very kind, considerate and provided me with very clear instructions as to how I could access the parking garage. Parking fee was very reasonable at $18 for downtown Vancouver.
My second floor room was small despite having everything I needed EXCEPT a mini fridge which surprised me. Loved that guests can open windows for fresh air. Rooms feature air conditioning and black out roller shades for light sleepers.
Being on the second floor facing Seymour, I didn’t hear any traffic noise at all.
Location is about as good as it gets downtown. Walk to Pacific Center, Granville St., Yaletown, financial District, Sewall or the West End in five minutes or less.
