The hotel itself has a cool vibe. It's not luxurious, but you get a nice bed, and you get an air conditioner inside the room. It wasn't hard to sleep with it, and I'm used to Sheratons and Westins. The block the hotel is on is having some construction, and people are lying on the street on the same block, who, for some, might be a bit scary. All in all, it's a lovely hotel that makes a genuine effort. You walk past the people on the street, and two blocks away are excellent hotels. It's just what parts of Vancouver are like, I guess. I would stay here again for the price.
