    If I visit Vancouver again I will stay here.

    Liked : The very first thing we noticed was the frieliness and helpfulness of the staff! Jake and the other employees we met were just terrific! Secondly, there were laundry facilities, microwave, fridge, utensils which we did not expect but were very welcome. This is a historic property so we enjoyed that aspect also. This property was very centrally located to much of the city so that one could walk. We took the hop off hop on bus to other locations less accesible. If you needed a cab, they were right there and reasonable. Staff called the cab for us! I'd stay again!

    Disliked : It was hot for Vanncouver!!!! 85 the day we arrived so air conditioning would have been nice but the common areas were cooler!
