"Good location. The room was clean, well-maintained, and up to date. The hotel clerks were friendly and accommodating. Although the pool was small, it was nice, warm, and clean. Our only complaint was that breakfast at the attached restaurant was disappointing. We had a great dinner at Zeferelli's a block away.2022-06-03"

"A wonderful experience. Walk to excellent restaurants and stores, and just across the street from English Bay. The hotel clerk upgraded us to a suite. Stay here.2017-06-09"
"The location can't be beat. I could walk right into Stanley Park and walk to the beach across the street. Plenty of wonderful restaurants, pubs, shops, and art in the area. The hotel was old but nicely restored, and the beds were super comfortable. Lovely food at the restaurant. Free underground parking. Next time I'll book the English Bayview room. If you're on a budget, get a room with a kitchenette that faces away from the bay.2015-09-16"

"Perfect location with easy access to everything. The room was too hot, and the portable AC didn't reach into the bedroom. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful.2018-08-03"

How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
