Courteous staff and amazing location!

My friend and I decided to take a vacation to the city of Vancouver, and noticed the nice location of The Barclay Hotel. We parked our rental SUV in the modernized garage behind the building. Walking in the front door, we were greeted with a modern sliding door and wood entryway. Certainly, awesome atmosphere! The staff was sincerely courteous, and took our major credit cards that even some stores would not in Canada! The rooms are nice, and equipped with all the modern commodities -- alarm clock, bathroom, tv, dresser, desk, and chairs -- exactly what is expected in a hotel here in the US [for us tourists :)]! What's even better is the $5 Continental Breakfast! And, for visitors from all countries, Robson Street [where the hotel is] has food from all over the world. The block the Hotel is on features AT LEAST 15 restaurants of all types! Asahi-Ya Sushi is CERTAINLY the best sushi place in town, and it is just a block down, past the Pocky Shoppe [and still on Robson], with $1/pc. sushi!
My friend and I ordered a 2-bed room, and had a great time, especially since we had the best accomodations we could ever possibly hope for. The place is clean, the staff is nice, and the location is supreme! The many convenience stores in the area also offer 3-D maps of the city!
Enjoy Canada and Vancouver at the Barclay Hotel!
