The Good
The majority of the reviews sourced for this analysis were positive, with much praise going to the hotel's location, staff and rooms.
The hotel's location was convenient for numerous guests. They described it as central and close to downtown, shopping, restaurants, public transit, the waterfront, Gastown and Yaletown.
Many lodgers praised the hotel's staff, characterizing them as friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating and helpful with directions and suggestions. One patron remarked, "a first class team of staff who look after you. John could get a job with the Tourism Board with all the tips he gave on the city's architecture and locations to get good photos. On our return from our Cruise Brian allowed us to keep our luggage at the hotel until we had to leave for our evening flight. Now that is real service".
Several reviewers were pleased with the hotel's accommodations. They found their rooms to be clean, spacious, updated and tastefully decorated, with comfortable beds and linens and great toiletries. A few travellers had complaints, however (see below).
The Bad
While the majority of reviews consulted for this analysis were positive, there were a few complaints about the lack of elevator and the rooms.
A few lodgers found the hotel's lack of elevator to be a challenge. They reported having to carry heavy luggage up steep stairs and recommended those with mobility issues book rooms on the first floor.
Although the majority of reviewers were pleased with their clean and updated rooms, a few patrons had complaints. They complained of small rooms and no air conditioning, as well as street and hallway noise.
