This was our first time staying at the Sylvia, but it won't be the last! What a fantastic hotel! Such history! We initially booked a regular King room for our stay, but ended up switching to a queen suite on the ocean side. The front desk staff was very accommodating and gave me a tour of the two ocean side rooms we could move into - never had that kind of service at a hotel before! The queen suite was a no brainer. We loved the character of the room and the separate bedroom - plus the living room and kitchen were a huge bonus since we were travelling with our pet. The room felt homey, spacious, and comfortable and was updated nicely. The bed was very comfortable. Even though the hotel has no air conditioning, it wasn't a problem for us - even in late July - the breeze off the water and the fan were enough to make the room comfortable. The bay/beach was right across the street from the hotel, which was amazing. You can walk right into Stanley Park if you wanted to. The area was bustling with bikers, runners and walkers, but would quiet down at 10pm. The restaurant had wonderful food - and wasn't too expensive. We had our breakfasts and suppers there, but there were other food options within walking distance. Parking was a breeze with their on site underground lot. Made for cars though - it would be difficult to park a truck there. The only thing bad thing I can say was the couch with the pull out bed was very uncomfortable to sit on! Highly recommend this hotel! Amazing stay
