Here’s what past guests loved most about our downtown Vancouver hotel:
“The assistance we received from the concierges was outstanding, both the evening and daytime staff. From arranging taxis with handicap capability, securing tickets to The Canada Flyover and then arranging a refund for those tickets, when we found ourselves unable to use them, we offered to give the 5 tickets to staff. The food was delicious and they have plenty of luggage carts. Everything was perfect as we started our Alaskan cruise vacation. Highly recommend this hotel.” - Barbara
