A real dump. Needs major renovations
We stayed at the Sandman as part of a Cosmos tour. The rooms were tiny, with many deficiencies (broken toilet seat, mould in bathroom, tv remote that did not work, vibrations from the elevator which was right beside the room, and a room that should have been a broom closet rather than a hotel room. To go to the bathroom, we had to back into it, and sit down to close the bathroom door - that is how small it is! Absolutely awful!! The only thing this hotel has going for it is the location, which is close to Gastown, Chinatown, BC Place, GM Place and shopping.
