12 January 2012 Well appointed hotel right on English bay in Vancouver's west end, just next door to Stanley Park. Close enough to the business part of the city but located in the restaurant and shopping areas of the west end. Very nice restaurant at the hotel and numerous other restaurants just a few steps from the lobby. Public transit right outside the front door. Very pleasant staff. Well worth a return visit. Excellent. Guest Reviews of the Best Western Sands Hotel Vancouver 9 January 2012 We stayed at Best Western Sands by the Sea for eleven nights while searching for a home in Vancouver. We were so glad we did. The location at the foot of Davie St cannot be beat if you want close access to Stanley Park, English Bay, and all that the bustling and cosmopolitan West End has to offer. If you do not want to drive there are several buses that stop right outside the hotel, including one that goes to the heart of the downtown core, and one that runs right up Davie St to Yaletown. Everyone was so good to us, right from check-in. We were given lots of good advice on the area when we asked for it, and the staff knew the local scene pretty well. When we entered the hotel they would hit a button and the elevator door would open for us without having to use our room key. They also have a button to open the double doors into the lobby and more than once we approached them only to have them open before us. We felt like royalty! We stayed in a king room on the top floor facing towards the mountains. Although not the largest room we've recently seen, it has numerous thoughtful touches that make it seem a bit less like a hotel room. They provide an umbrella in the closet for those rainy days, the best coffee service I've seen in a while, along with a small bar fridge. The sitting area has either a sofa or an overstuffed armchair and ottoman, along with a laptop desk. The bath had very nice amenities including marble top and an impressive array of toiletries. The towels were fluffy and plentiful. They provided a soap dish by the sink, a small detail but again something that makes it feel more like home. Every morning they supply copies of The Vancouver Sun and The Province, a touch we really appreciated. The bed was plush but supportive, with a duvet sandwiched between two soft attractive sheets. We prefer blankets and housekeeping was only too happy to take away the duvet when we asked and supply us with extra blankets. The housekeeping staff were wonderful, always cheerful and willing to stop and chat a bit about the city and interesting things to do in the area. I do not hesitate to recommend this hotel if you have business in the West End. You get a very comfortable and appealing room for a good price, and you get the kind of welcome you'd want to give guests in your own home. Guest Reviews of the Best Western Sands Hotel Vancouver 8 January 2012 The furnishings, bed and bedding, amenities were the best I have ever experienced at a Best Western! I'll be back. Guest Reviews of the Best Western Sands Hotel Vancouver 8 January 2012 My travelling companion and I booked this in the internet here so knew nothing about it except what we read in customer feedback (which was very good). We asked for a room with a view and that is what we got - looking out over English Bay; beautiful. The staff we excellent - the room was not quite ready but they were ready with suggestions on how to fill our time until it was (the restaurant - for traditional Canadian pancakes - was a top tip). The trolley bus stop outside the door made access to downtown so easy. Around the corner are a great selection of restaurants, bars and cafes. Stanley Park is within walking distance, as are ferries to Granville Island and other points. Excellent staff, well-appointed room and excellent location. Definitely one for a repeat visit.
