Frommer's "Its rates remain a bargain almost year-round and upper floors have sweeping views; rooms feel a bit little like a high-rise motel but they are spacious and quiet." Full review
Lonely Planet "The good-value suites have the kind of quality, business-hotel furnishings common in pricier joints and all have corner balconies." Full review
OysterMid-Range
"The location is the highlight of this mid-range hotel, situated alongside the restaurants and bars on Robson Street and within walking distance of numerous Downtown Vancouver attractions." Full review
Time Out "Whirlpool, lap pool, sauna and treadmills - all at an affordable price and, what's more, in the centre of town." Full review
Star Service "Unlike the true boutique-hotels in town, including the mediocre Moda and fine Hotel Listel, this place has a rater banal ambience that suits business travelers better than romantics and vacationers." Full review
BlackBook "A renovated '60's charmer whose humble, unfussy rooms with ocean-hued accents are made spectacular by the real thing on display from private balconies or top floor meeting facilities."
