“This is the best hotel yet, the service was amazing! The bed was so comfortable and the view was amazing! We will be back for sure. It’s so easy to get around here as you can take the sea bus to get across the water, so you can get to downtown Vancouver!” - Kayla

“This hotel is fantastic! The room is very nice, our king bed was very comfortable, and cable was a nice addition, as some places don’t have that anymore. Location is incredible as the Quay market is on the first 2 levels of this building, with the hotel on levels 3 and 4. So many things in walking distance, it was a great weekend experience. Highly recommend!” - Zachary
