Lovely character hotel in a great location so close to the beach and Stanley Park. Slightly longer but very easy walk to the little ferries that take you across to Kitsilano, the Maritime museum, Granville Island etc We had a lovely breakfast in the restaurant overlooking the beach one morning. Our only negative is that a day before our arrival we had requested a check in by 2.30pm as we were being collected by friends at 4.00pm. We were told they would do their best but could not guarantee it ( normal check in 3.00pm) - however our room was actually not given to us until 3.30pm which meant we had to delay our meeting with friends. This was disappointing Apart from this, we enjoyed our stay and the great service from all the staff. Not sure how comfortable guests would be without air conditioning mid summer but the evening temperatures were lower when we stayed so it was fine.

The hotel was a pleasant surprise, a lovely location on the beach, easy walking distance to restaurants and convenience store. Just a stopover for a cruise to Alaska but we were able to see a beautiful sunset over the bay!

Close to the beach and cafés. Also a nice walk, along the ocean, to Stanley Park. Approximately 15-20 min walk to take False Creek Ferris to Kitsilano or Granville. We love walking, and everything was near by that we didn't need to rent a car. That was a bonus.

Tradition Is Good

Rooms and amenities very nice and comfortable. Lack of AC not great in hot weather. Opening windows invites outside noise, and closing them -- even with fans -- makes air a bit stuffy. But overall a positive experience, particularly in cooler weather.
