St. Clair Hotel and Hostel, Vancouver

This is not a hotel or a hostel! It is a residential rooming house full of destitute and out of work losers! It's a residential flop house and it's dirty and falling apart. The room I had was obviously not cleaned before I moved into it! The sink in the room was actually clogged so bad with human hair that the water would not even drain out. The showers were grimy and always covered in long strands of hair, especially wrapped around the drainage hole. The microwaves obviously are never cleaned and there are dust balls everywhere the size of mice. The people who stay there are mostly people who have fallen on hard times and pay by the month. Out of work or on welfare. There is no kitchen and the place also smells bad. The management and the monthly residences are always intruding on the privacy of paid guests to the point of near harassment!!! The Urban Hideway Guest House next door is much better as is the Granville Hotel on Granville Street for longer term stays. Stay away from this place!
