"We had to park 2 blocks away and walk to the hotel with our luggage. The bathroom was bigger than the bedroom, and the toilet ran all night.

"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"

"Delightful location, with al fresco dining on the boardwalk. The hotel had 1st-class views of False Creek and downtown. Short walk to all of Granville Island markets. Everything was clean. The AC was on in our room when we arrived, and the room was cool. The king-sized bed was too much for the room, making it awkward to move about. The staff was personable and efficient. Room service was prompt and timely. Arrive early for easier parking.2015-08-01"

"The hotel was expensive, and parking was too. The heated pool was cold. The TV didn't work in the morning, but I'd had it by then and packed up and left. I liked that the children's meals were free, and the room service fellow was amazing.2019-04-05"

She was pleasant, efficient, and personable. The room was spacious and attractive, with floor-to-ceiling windows and an extremely comfortable bed. The bellboys were efficient and friendly, and hailed us a cab to the pier within minutes. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.2016-09-28"

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.
