Guest Review of the Holiday Inn Express Vancouver

9 January 2012
We stayed in the junior suite on the non-road side of the hotel. It was comfortable, clean, and although we didn't use the kitchen area, it seemed good although there wasn't much in the way of plates/cutlery etc. There was some noise from the townhouses that backed the back of the hotel, but I'm sure much less than the road-side of the hotel. Breakfast as usual is one of the best offered by hotels when it is included in the price. HI express has a wide range of breakfast items. We would stay here again. It is very close to the PNE.

Check in was a snap, was clean and convenient to everything, hot breakfast served on time. A good deal of choices for breakfast. No problems with my room. Near the fairgrounds and as well a WALMART is nearby for you.

This was not a pleasure trip to Vancouver, my older brother had passed away and my sister and I were out to bring his remains home to the East Coast. We had rushed to get a flight out and had not made reservations at a hotel before leaving. We were able to walk in and get a room without any problem. We were at the front of the building, but the noise was not unbearable and it was kind of neat to see the traffic and people walking by. Comfortable and close to many little shops, drug store, park and a fabulous Italian bakery. The staff were extremely helpful and when we asked if we could have a frig and microwave brought up to the room, it was delivered within the hour. The onsite laundry was extremely clean and well kept and breakfast in the morning was a great way to start your day off. The Press Box Pub next door was a great spot for a quick bite to eat in the evenings. The staff were helpful in getting us cabs and letting us know of the different options for transit. What we appreciated most was on the day we were coming back we had been informed that the shuttle ran to the airport at 8:00am or 10:00am unfortunately our plane had been delayed so that neither of these times really worked for us. We were pleasantly surprised when the driver informed us that he could take us out at 9:00am instead if that worked for us. This was a great spot to stay and if I get to go back to Vancouver for a vacation I would definitely stay again.

Pros: cleaning staff do a great job and are incredibly nice. Front staff are helpful although they can be a little hit-and-miss. Breakfast buffet has a pretty good variety given that nothing is actually produced at the hotel (eggs, bacon, sausages etc are of the microwave variety) -- you can actually eat a fairly balanced and healthy breakfast. Rooms are your typical modern standard room: beds are fine, layout is the same as everywhere (bed, desk, flat screen tv, etc.). Hotel shuttle service is great, but it starts too late and ends to early to be really counted upon to avoid the $50 cab ride from the airport.

Cons: I had major problems with the keys working -- on one evening I had to go 5 times back and forth until the lock finally worked. Also there were a group of German (?) construction workers who loved -- LOVED -- to smoke, and this included their non-smoking rooms whose air circulation system ensured that everyone on the floor also smoked their cigarettes. One night was particularly bad with them smoking, drinking, playing music, long resounding belches. The hotel staff seemed either impotent to do anything about it or it was a business decision to keep these guys happy as they were long term customers. Luckily the construction workers were either fairly stand-offish or actually nice.

Good/Average room. Pleasant atmosphere and fairly clean. Mid-week was banned from having muffins. Apparently taking 4 muffins for a family of 3 was too much. Had to go to Starbucks to eat for the remainder of the week. Will never be back.

A colleague of mine and I stayed here, as we were attending a show at the PNE. Location was great, because we were right across the street from the PNE. The property is also not far from food, shopping (like Walmart), etc. The free breakfast buffet was ample and decent. This property also has a shuttle to the hotel, but its schedule is not great... it runs every 2 hours starting at, I believe, 8 am.

The staff were great though, try as they may, they could not do anything about the almost non-existent wireless internet for the 2 days I was there. Quality internet is among my top three Must-Haves when I travel. However, the staff did take a couple of bucks off my bill, which was a great gesture for something that was out of their hands. They tell me they have a new system coming in not too far down the road.

So despite being extremely aggravated by slow to non-existent internet, I still rate this property quite well for the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff, the cleanliness of the property, the beds being comfy, a decent breakfast buffet, etc. I will stay here again... though I may call ahead and double-check the Wi-Fi has been improved before I do.

I drove from Vancouver airport and the sat nav system took me via Vancouver city centre and along West & East Hastings Street. I have travelled the World and seen many sights however I have never seen so many homeless, drug addicts lining the street. I have to be honest I was thinking what have I done booking a hotel on such a street. Thankfully as I got nearer the hotel the area changed and was only slightly dodgy rather than down right dodgy.

The hotel didn't look much from the outside but I parked the car in the secure gated car park and took the elevator to reception. The hotel staff were excellent and I was allocated a room at the back of the hotel. The room was large and included a king size bed and settee. However the downside was that it was dark, the weather didn't help, and the lighting in the room was very poor. On the good side once the clouds lifted the view was spectacular looking over the mountains.

The room was quiet and the bed comfortable and the internet was free. The free breakfast was a typical North American buffet of cereals, bread and muffins along with tea and coffee.

The internet was rather erratic and the hotel had to call the provider to sort it out. The staff were very helpful and the situation was sorted out very quickly.
