The Good
Guests enjoyed their stay.
Rooms were very clean with comfortable beds and some had nice harbour and marina views or YVR views for watching flight landings.
The location was handy to the highway and the airport by car and guests could walk to the SkyTrain, grocery stores and restaurants. Some took the free shuttle to the airport and caught the SkyTrain from there to downtown. Guests also like dim sum and Chinese restaurants in the area.
Staff were welcoming and courteous.
Guests often enjoyed dining on site.
Guests were often satisfied with the shuttle service.
Guests also liked: good cable channels, cheaper parking rates than downtown, soaker tubs and large walk-in showers, a well-equipped fitness centre, nice views from the executive lounge and quiet temperature control in the rooms.

The Bad
There was some negative feedback.
Recent room complaints were: room was small, dim lighting in the bathroom and an uncomfortable mattress and pillow.
Noise transferred from: guests in the hallway, outside construction and traffic on the highway and bridge, but some guests found it quiet once the windows were closed.
Some guests found the shuttle to the airport took more time than expected as it backtracked to the Four Points hotel before going to the airport and left only every half hour.
Parking complaints included: high taxes were charged on parking making the $15 charge rise to $19.06, valets were slow and not readily found, the parking garage was not secured, and access to the parking garage was not available from within the hotel.
Other comments found were: the pool is a walk down a few hallways and then a flight stairs, business centre needs a facelift and better equipment, lobby is very small, the area is somewhat industrial, and access to the hotel is awkward for guests with cars due to several one-way streets.
