My favorite hotel in Vancouver

I love this hotel so much, it's like sleeping in a work of art. The beds are so comfortable and it's very clean. Front desk people are so friendly and welcoming. The area is not great, once I checked in I didn't feel comfortable going out after dark as a single woman. But during the day I would not feel unsafe coming and going.

Would you stay with this sign posted?

The front desk clerk was having a medical issue when we arrived which was causing some confusion and difficulty in conversation. The flier posted in the elevator stated there would be a bed bug inspection next week. While this may be mandatory for hotels, posting in this manner gave us much pause in staying so we took our bags back down and declined the reservation. Hotel was not the appearance suggested online nor would it rate a 9.0.

Our 4th time staying here, staff are amazing as always and rooms are beautiful. Only gripe this trip was that the water in the room we were in must not have been used in awhile, as it took a few minutes to clear up and get hot, and then the temperature of the rooms was way too hot for me. To my best efforts it doesnt appear you can control the room temp anymore (switch to AC for example), and it wasnt noticable until it was late at night, so no staff on site. Regardless, wont stop us from coming again 😎🙂

My primary disappointment with this hotel was it boasted about the "art". I find BC Indigenous art to be quite beautiful. Unfortunately there was very minimal on display, other than the beautiful table in the back area. It is also worth noting, the location is right outside of China town and a few blocks from the infamous East Hastings. The people were nice but we had too stand outside for quite a while to be let in and be checked in.

The hotel was extremely comfortable and clean--wonderful natural bathroom products that smelled amazing! We slept so well and the hotel was super quiet. The only issue is the surrounding neighborhood/area. We found the amount of public drug use and unhoused individuals in various stages of intoxication, undress, and questionable hygiene rather disturbing.

The hotel is in a very convenient location in downtown with walking distance to restaurants, shops and the convention center. The rooms are spacious, clean and have nice ambience. They also have a light breakfast option in the morning! The only issue for me was that the toilet was possibly leaking and so it was flushing every 5-10 mins which I had to turn off after use.
