Easier access than I thought, my girlfriend and I came from Metrotown and Sushi
Garden for dinner and then we have decided to rest for my weekend. I can't see
how bad this hotel can be, of course they are not a five-star hotel, but I can
say that their service are above standard and from my experience, the price was
worth it! Definitely coming back for my x'mas trip

It was a pleasant stay at the hotel, close to train to DT area as well as the
Metrotown shopping center to spend time with my bf. I say its a great and cheap
place for young travellers. The breakfast was so-so, but we explore the
neighborhood and there were restaurants everywhere! Very nice staff during our
stay.

I would not recommend this hotel and I would never go back! When I arrived at
the hotel they tried to charge me a higher rate than what I booked it for
online. The room was dirty and only had 1 blanket and 1 towel and the pillow
smelled like mold. Also the front desk was calling our room at 130am while we
were sleeping, trying to ask us a question about my credit card. This hotel is a
complete joke and I hope that if you read this message you're smart enough to
book a different hotel. Don't let the pictures fool you, this place is a DIVE!!!
For the same price you can find a much better hotel in Vancouver...we did the
next night ;)

We would agree about the musty smell but on the whole we were quite satisfied.
We had 2 rooms for my husband and me and our friend, both with a view of the
mountains but there were also big electricity pylons outside the windows so we
were glad there wasn't a storm! A light didn't work in both rooms which we
reported. One was fixed that day, but not the other. We thought the hotel was
good value and quite convenient for the skytrain which took us straight into
town. The aircon was efficient if a little noisy on high. There was a
complimentary breakfast supplied, but the dining room was being renovated so we
had to have it in the lobby and the first morning all the pastries had gone even
though we were well within the serving time. Staff were very apologetic and
provided granola bars! We considered these minor niggles and would stay there
again if we were in the area.

The hotel looks nice from outside, the room was decent and clean. We got
upgraded to one that got a view of the mountain side which was really nice.
The front desk staff are REALLY nice and helpful! I love that I got free
internet, which is great!
My main beef with the place...it does have a dank, musky smell. Even though the
hotel is smoke free, I suspect that it's previous owners did not prevent
that...and since it looks like the carpet and wall paper wasn't changed...the
smell is stuck. And the aircon works well, only problem is the knob doesn't
necessarily point to the correct direction. Ha! That took some experimenting to
figure out.

After reading review for this hotel i was ready to accept the message of 'you
get what you pay for' at this hotel. Well we sure were paying for more than we
got, the room was acceptable with enough room for me and my friends but there
was only one towel in the bathroom and only one keycard for the three of us. We
requested more of both and only got one more of each. The whole three days we
spent there the pool was not open for some unknown reason we didn't explore (we
had better things to do). Underground parking was cramped and smelled of urine.
The only person who worked there was nice to was the lady we checked in with,
other than that service was abysmal and upon checkout we were informed that the
maid cleaned up our 'extra mess' so we had to pay 26$ extra. There was no extra
mess - we will not be coming back here.

Smells damp upon arrival but that is the pool in the basement. Rooms clean and
functional. Good cheap Asian restaurants nearby, ask the staff. Mid town but 7
minute walk to train and short train journey on V efficient public transport to
centre. Free WiFi all over and computer in lobby.
