Okay, But .....
End of our trip before heading back to Hawaii, so there were plenty of other places to compare it with. Even if it had been the first, the location, even though central, was disgusting to say the least. Take this whole hotel and place it elsewhere, and it really wouldn't be so bad. We had a 5th floor suite overlooking Granville, and it was way too loud, the thin windows or walls, something needs to be done to keep the ruckus and disorderly conduct that even Vancouver police can't seem to contain in that specific area. I have had more quiet stays in times square and in downtown Manila, with a train running by my window. The parking entrance is behind, narrow, and seems very dangerous to enter/exit without being in a car. Reminded me a little of the Empire on Robson, but that place is a much better stay and value than this one. We asked the staff to move us up to higher floor, but they insisted that they were at full occupancy, I sincerely doubt it. Don't be fooled by the pics on the net, the location is what brings this otherwise 2-3 star down, a pitty.
