We chose this hotel based on location and price, and were pleased by
many other aspects, not least of which was the staff service. We stayed
on the fourth floor, which was very lovely. We were initially placed on
the first floor, which had a latent smell of smoke and was not very
nice, so we requested a move and they accommodated nicely. The rooms are
not big, but nicely appointed. There is a daily buffet breakfast
included, server in the pub downstairs. It is a simple self-serve
breakfast, including a make-your-own waffles. This will get you going
for the day. It is just two blocks walk (south along Granville St) from
the closest Canada Line train stop from the airport. Overall I thought
it was good value and I would recommend it. Free wifi was good. Nice but
small lobby, with lots of brochures. Helpful staff. A stop for the
shuttle ski bus to Whistler. Parking beside hotel is convenient,
$14/day. Close enough to walk (over the bridge) to Granville Island
markets. We stayed with two young kids. Granville Street can be dodgy at
night, but by day the area is fine.

Comfortable and clean and right in the heart of downtown. Don't stay
here if you are looking for luxury! They have updated the bathrooms,
which was nice.
It is simple, clean and comfortable and that's it. No frills. They do
provide a dry breakfast - waffles, toast and cereal and it's great for
the price, we paid $79 a night so were quite satisfied.
The room was cleaned to a very high standard and the beds were the
comfiest we've ever had! The room we had was on the very small side but
there's only the two of us and we weren't in much to mind.
One bone of contention would be the walls. If you have a noisy neighbour
then you won't get much sleep. Unfortunately the man next to us was
having a 'quiet' night in and it was gross to have to hear that. Other
than that we'd definitely be back.

PROS: We booked our Canucks package through this hotel. This is an
excellent deal as it includes lower bowl seats (7 rows up from the ice
near the home net) and a free continental breakfast at the pub
downstairs in addition to accommodations the night of the game. Free
breakfast consisted of cereals, muffins, fruit, oatmeal, as well as a
waffle making station, orange and apple juices, coffee and hot chocolate
etc. Very nice. Within walking distance to Rogers arena/BC place and
located RIGHT in the heart of Granville. A variety of pubs and clubs and
shopping options nearby. This was our third time staying at this hotel.
Rooms are tidy, beds are comfortable. Staff at check in was nice,
especially a young man named Patrick who, when we arrived hours before
check-in was quick to put our bags in storage so we could explore the
city. Efficient check in and out.
CONS: I noticed the rooms looked a little dingier than they did a few
years ago (they need a fresh coat of paint-- badly). They have updated
the tv's and have some flat screens in the king rooms, they could have
went the extra mile by attempting to hide the wires and cables that are
attached to the tvs. Bath tubs are small. Walls are super thin-- we
spent the first night listening to the neighbors having sex-- NOT my
idea of a good time. They did give our group a complimentary upgrade the
first night from a two double bed room to a double bed with a pullout
couch room.
Room Tip: Request a room on the highest floor, this will lessen the
noise from the pub (doolins) and the club (the cellar) below-- Unless
you plan on making use of the complimentary club passes guests get!

Really liked this hotel, super helpful staff, great location - right in
the city centre and above two excellent bars/clubs. Surprisingly it is
not noisy (stayed on 4th floor). The beds are so lovely and really
comfortable I could've stayed in there for days.. Highly recommend this
hotel, I've stayed in a few diff ones (around this price range) in
Vancouver and this is my favorite.

We stayed here 2 nights. The hotel is located in the heart of the
shopping and entertainment district.
Helpful staff, clean room, although with decoration which reminds you of
the seventies. Breakfast in the pub, connected to the hotel. Fair price
for what you get.

On the minus side, we asked for a quiet, high room when we booked and
paid in advance. We were given a first floor room by an alley/car park
and were woken up on each of the two Friday nights and the Saturday by
women who were screaming and throwing up at two in the morning.
Breakfast was a bit average compared to other Comfort Inns. However,
lovely beds, really nice staff, free internet and close to the transport
links and shops.

We regularly stay at the Comfort downtown. Nice upgrade, thank you. Room
very spacious, with 3 windows - alot of light (a little too much from
Granville) but still enjoyed opening the windows. Fireplace & 2 person
whirlpool . These are the most comfortable king beds !! Very clean &
great Staff. Can't beat the location for walking. Weekends are very
lively & noisy so be sure to request a room on higher floor. Can't
understand how people comment on the breakfast, rare to find a downtown
hotel who even offers a free breakfast, yes, it's basic but a great
start. We look forward to sitting in the beautiful pub having a coffee &
relaxing in the morning
