Review of the Executive Hotel Vintage Park Vancouver
July 9, 2011
My husband and I had just done 2 nights in Seattle and 3 nights in
Portland prior to our arrival in Vancouver. All 3 hotels we stayed in
were purposely "boutique" style hotels because we generally enjoy this
type of place. Well, we hit 2 out of 3. Unfortunately, this was not one
of the 2. Everything from the carpet to the the furniture and drapes
were extremely dated. (The shower curtain also would not stay shut while
showering and the shower pressure was the hardest I have ever
experienced - a little painful, actually). I felt like we were back in
the 70's. The room was extremely small and we had an awful view from our
3rd floor room. We attempted to change rooms for a better view, but were
changed to a 7th floor room with not much more of a view but much more
highway noise. It was somewhat convenient to walk everywhere we wanted
to go which was nice, but if I make it to Vancouver again, I would spend
a little more money to get a hotel that has done something to upkeep the
property a little better.

The place is clean and the staff friendly enough, but the beds are
bricks. I knew we were in for a long night when I first sat down on one.
I've spent plenty of time in hotels from Motel 6 to the
Fairmont, and
I've never ever slept on a harder bed. Ever. For the money, I wish we'd
gone someplace else, maybe even spent a couple bucks more... I won't be
back to any Executive property.

Stayed a few days with my family and some friends. The hotel was clean
and people at the front desk were helpful. No Wi-Fi in the hotel rooms,
which surprised me, but there was an ethernet connection. Hot tub was
too hot, and pretty uncomfortable to sit in for more than a couple of
minutes, but the view from there was good. The beds were really hard,
and I couldn't sleep until I was so exhausted that there wasn't any
choice. They told us that the parking was $20 a night, but failed to
mention the extra eight dollars for taxes, which annoyed me. I prefer to
know the whole price

I spent one night here for business. The location isn't right in the
center of things, but close enough to be pretty convenient at a better
price than most Downtown
Vancouver Hotels . The staff was very pleasant.
The room I had was tiny - luckily I was by myself so I could fit! Two
people would always be running into each other. It appeared nicely
decorated at first glance, but a closer inspection revealed cracks in
the vinyl covering of the desk chair, frayed spots in the carpet and
wallpaper - generally starting to get a little run down. Internet access
was very sporadic - a big problem. The staff tried to help, but couldn't
figure it out and mentioned that other guests were also having problems.
Didn't use the restaurant, as I had to leave early in the morning, so I
utilized room service for breakfast. Prompt, pleasant service, and good
food.
Parking is extra - about $25USD.
Overall, if you are just looking for a reasonably priced place to sleep
and you aren't claustrophobic, this is an okay choice. But if your hotel
is an important part of your travel experience, look elsewhere.

We booked on-line in November 2010 for a July 2011 stay. On-line
response was very good with plenty of feedback. We arrived on the
red-eye flight out of Honolulu arriving ion Vancouver at 0545. Took a
cab to the hotel (about $30). Hotel staff were very courteous and
friendly (even at that time of the morning) and the concierge
immediately assisted us with our mountain of bags. there was not one
suggestion of a problem to leave our bags in secured lock-up. Check-in
is normally at 2pm but they said they could have a room ready for us at
10am. As it turned out, we decided to go to
Grouse Mountain
straight away (an absolute must do. especially with kids....worth
every cent ....but be aware it's close to an all day outing) so by the
time we got back to the hotel, it was late afternoon.
Rooms were clean and tidy beds very comfortable and all was nice and
quiet during the evening. Service excellent. With the $9.00 per day for
all travel on all public transport (buses, seabus, trains/subway) the
location of the hotel is just fine ...even though it's downtown...but,
it's right on the other side of the Granville St bridge, opposite
Granville Island
Markets and only 5 minutes easy walk downhill to the nearest
train station. |
