It's certainly an older, outdated hotel, but is our favorite to stay at in Vancouver -- you can't beat the price and location: what a great area! Rooms are always clean, you get a full kitchen, and a view of the beach!

Great location
Very dated hotel. Taps were barely held on. Quite clean. Old carpet no renovations done. Kitchenette was very dated and only 1 burner worked on the oven. Happy to have a nice size fridge. Fairly well stocked. Nothing fancy. Was clean and beds were alright. Was nice they had a heater and fans. Great location!

Travelling with teenagers
You get what you pay for. This place was awesome for our family. The suite was perfect. Family of five - 3 teenagers- we need Somme space for everyone and they accommodated with excellence. Love the room, kitchen with plates and stove, lots of room for everyone. I highly recommend for anyone travelling on a budget and doesn’t mind a room that’s a bit dated. *loved the view

I like this hotel. I go in the off-season and enjoy the west end and staying near my kids's place around the corner. The building is quirky and old, and the elevator is haunted (I swear it). It's a foody's paradise in almost every direction from the hotel.

It was close to the bay, within a block. The room was clean, but very old and could stand to be updated with new carpet and chairs.

The only thing I could tolerate here was the sharwama shop downstairs and the kitchenette, though there were broken plates that would have cost nothingto replace. The picture of the hotel before i rented was not what i saw. That was deceptive. Again, the maintenance nees to be upgraded. The elevator stank. I could see them struggling to maintain the hygienic state but such a hotel is way below expectations in the current age and time.

I liked that we were near the water and close to several restaurants with a variety of menus.
I liked that it is a vintage property. The room was very unique. Furnishings & decor were from the 50's - 70's. The linens were clean, as was the bathroom.
The sad part is that it is not well maintained. Several of the electrical outlets did not work and there were not very many of them. Thank goodness I travel with a wall wort that you can plug several things into.
There was a horrible smell when we entered the elevator... it was disgusting! Our grandson is 17 and lives in a rural area of Nevada. He is familiar with rodent odors in storage buildings for yard maintenance tools. He confirmed it was the odor of rodents.
And the final disaster was a broken suitcase! On checkout day we went to the elevator. We were on the 3rd floor and waited for at least 10 mins for the elevator. we called the office and no one answered. We had called for an Uber who by then was waiting for us. We finally took the narrow staircase to the lobby, but in the process of descending the stairs, the suitcase handle was broken!!! Making it very difficult to handle for the remaining week of our trip. When we finally got to the lobby someone was holding the door and ignoring the call to allow the elevator to ascend.
It was a sad and frustrating ending to a very interesting stay at a unique place.

There was a bit of a smell in our room, and a whine from the hallway that I couldn't place. Excellent location, great restaurants all around.
