Hotel review of the Best Western Chelsea Inn
Coquitlam
May 4, 2010
Not quite up to the star rating I expected. While a bit far from
Vancouver's main attractions, this hotel was just a short walk (1/4
miles along a very busy highway and over a busy interchange) from a
skyway station that took us right into the heart of town. We bought a
day pass on the transit; left the car at the hotel (free parking that
far out of the city, you're in the burbs) the hotel was clean and nice.
Just not what I expected from a 3-rated hotel and the location was a
surprise for its distance out. In the end, I was not sorely
disappointed, just thought I could have done better price wise by
myself. I will say that rooms in Vancouver are dear at the height of the
season and I booked late. This hotel however, did not show up on the
list of hotels while I was searching.

My friends and I stayed at the Chelsea Inn during the Olympics and were
pleasantly surprised with our stay. First of all the front desk clerk who
checked us in was kind and courteous and went out of her way to make us feel at
home. We had not traveled on public transit in Vancouver before and the close
proximity of the Skytrain station and the great instructions by the hotel staff
allowed us to move around Vancouver with ease.
The room was spacious, well appointed, and above all very clean. In the morning
we took advantage of the free continental breakfast which was an excellent start
to our day.
I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone.

Had a quick overnight stay, but staff was very nice and hotel was very
comfortable. No restaurant, but walking distance to lots of amenities.

Right on the highway, ask for a room at the back as the highway is rather busy
24 hours a day. Good sized rooms with really comfortable beds. Pool is small but
adequate if your kids are small. Well located for a stopover & easy to get into
Vancouver on the train. We used the hotel as a base to get around the area. When
we arrived they had not accepted our late internet booking as we're fully booked
at the time, but he did manage to get us in & gave us the same rate & upgraded
our room. All the staff we met inc maids we're helpful & cheery. Would
definitely stay again & use the hotel as a base to get into Vancouver & the
surround area

We stayed at this hotel for a sporting event and it was a pleasant surprise. We
were so tired when we checked in and really just wanted to get into our rooms
quick. The girl at the front desk had all our keys ready and everything from
there on was a pleasant surprise. They let us use the breakfast room for a pizza
night with the kids and we felt they just really offered great customer service.
I would recommend this hotel to anyone especially travelling with kids. Pool was
refreshing and clean. The sports rate was very fair.

This is a typical Lower Mainland hotel. It is older, well maintained. Do not
accept any room facing Brunette as the traffic noise is horrendous 24/7. Rooms
at the back are quieter. We stayed for five nights and the electronic room key
never really worked.
Good but standard breakfast in a larger clean separate room. Overall cleanliness
is ok but the rugs do seem to be vacuumed very often. The hotel does have an
outdoor pool which was out of service during our stay.
This hotel welcomes teams competing in local events. We had 10-12 year old boys
lacrosse teams on the weekend. Fortunately, parents established corridor check
points to stop corridor relay races and monitor traffic. It worked this time and
other similar groups should take note of this practice.Hotel review of the Best Western Chelsea Inn Coquitlam

We were delighted with our 6-night stay at this hotel with my family of 4 and
two small children. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was newly
remodeled and very clean - we had loads of beautiful white fluffy towels. The
pool and hot tub were very clean and well-taken care of and a perfect
temperature. The best was the excellent breakfast - gourmet European style
pastries and muffins, whole grain bagels and bread, fresh fruit, cereal and
boiled eggs. Hot coffee, juice, milk, tea etc. Very clean dining room and food
always kept replenished - excellent staff at breakfast, a complete delight. We
would stay again and recommend this to anyone. |
