Charming hotel. Awesome location. No bar at night.

Beautiful location with a truly wonderful patio for dining and friendly staff - but very disappointed that everything closes at 9:30 pm. No possibility to enjoy a nightcap or snack of any kind at night and the island has no other quiet options available. The room is clean and the bed is very comfortable. The aircon unit is one of those standing on-the-floor units that make a lot of noise - had to turn it right off to get to sleep. These few negatives were balanced out by the great daytime location: we had a breakfast bagel at the market and took an Aquabus to reach English Bay - then walked the full length of the sea wall around Stanley Park and back through town to the hotel. Around 10km - pure pleasure.

Well for being a silver reward member this hotel didn’t really care. We had a little closet of a room for $550 , not what we are used too . The area was very nice but no real convenience for a coffee shop at 6am

I wasn’t here for a holiday. My husband was medevac to the VGH and I was there as his support but the hotel offered a place for me to come away from the hospital and mellow out. I had a beautiful view. The room is clean and everyone was very helpful. I must be super common with my taste of food because I found the menu not to my liking. Everything was pretty fancy and I’m kind of a plain little girl. This hotel was also close to the hospital and in the evenings when I back at the hotel, it was nice to wander around Granville Island and see all that they had to offer.
