Rip off

Who doesnt love a pod/capsule hotel? But this is twice the price that it should be. For this price, you can get a pod hotel in NYC with individual shower rooms, individual toilet rooms (not stalls) and an actual “room” where you can stand like a dignified person and put on your underwear. Typical Vancouver. 2 star quality for 5 star pricing. Because… Vancouver.

For $100+ per night, I wouldnt stay again. Inteied it to experience the sleeper pod model but the price point needs to be lower in my opinion.

dorm hostel, not hotel

This is a hostel not a hotel. It was really smelly and bathrooms dirty. It is a dorm of 50 people in one room, not a pod but bunk beds blocked by a curtain. It was noisy as people are travelling to airport so all you hear all night is alarm clocks, and slamming of doors. Do not advertise this as a pod hotel because a pod hotel is a enclosed unit.

The pre cancellation petiod was something like 72 hours. This is unusual so I didn’t notice it. I tried to cancel 2 days in advance. Too late. Then I went to some trouble to inform the hotel so they could at least use the room pod for someone else, but even though I didn’t show I get these relentless emails asking for a review. So here it us.
