Reviews Marriott Vancouver Pinnacle Hotel

Jun 22, 2008
I always have stayed in Fairmont Hotels in Vancouver. This was the first time that I have been in the Marriot.

And as the same in Halifax, it was a great stay. The building is very open, a lots of glass, so you get the feeling that the city is coming to you and you can go to the city.

It's situated in a quiet surrounding but downtown and close to the cruise center. A 7 minute walk. And in two minutes you are at the water side, close to the floatplanes.

Open reception and good staff. You can only go to your room with using your roomcard in the elevator. Oterwise you won't get up.

The rooms are spacious. The windos are all glass, so when you are situated at the highest level, you have marvellous views.

There is a high speed internet connection for a daily rate around CA$16.

The bathroom is spacious with a bath and a seperate shower.

There is enough space for your clothes etc.

I went one morning to the swimming pool. Well maintained, good facilities, nice spa and open 24 hours.

I had breakfast there every morning and you can choose between buffet or a a la carte. Perfect!

I really and truly enjoyed my stay there and Marriot is on my list to advice other people.

At the corner you have a coffee shop with the best sandwiches and coffee in Vancouver. If you see how long the queue is before the shop.. :)

We have been going to Whistler for 7 years now and each time have stayed at the same hotel whilst stopping over in Vancouver. However, this year we tried the Pinnacle and were very impressed. The room wasn't overly big but more than sufficient for our stopover. It is very near to Stanley Park etc and a very easy walk into the hub of the city. The gym was great and the bed, as always in the Marriotts, was just lush! The public rooms and the bedrooms were spotlessly clean and the separate shower was fab.
We did not eat in the restaurant but it did look good. We will no doubt be staying at the hotel next year as we found the value excellent and booked it through BA when we booked the flights. Enjoy!!

My husband and I recently stayed at the Pinnacle and we have nothing but great things to say about our time there. We were fortunate enough to be on the top floor and the view was spectacular. The staff was very attentive and thoughtful, from the doormen to the concierge and front desk to the cleaning staff, and they do a great job with the little touches that make a big difference. (For example, whenever my husband returned from a run, the doorman offered him a chilled bottle of water.) The room was very comfortably appointed and clean. We were also glad to find that the Hotel Location was very convenient (we were able to walk or catch a bus just about everywhere we wanted to go). I would gladly stay at this hotel again.

We stayed at this hotel prior to leaving from Vancouver on a cruise to Alaska. When I made the reservation I mentioned that we were starting our honeymoon. Our room had a great view of the Bay. Before we were in the room too long, they sent us a good bottle of wine and some choclolate covered strawberries. We were very pleased with everything about our stay at this hotel.

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights as part of a Rockies/cruise package. The bedrooms were amazing,huge bed, soo comfortable, we were on the 30th floor and could see the waterfront and Stanley Park. The staff were so helpfull and efficient and friendly. We ate breakfast at the hotel and found it quite keenly priced for a hotel of this type, a Canadian Breakfast which is like our full English was 15 dollars, a wonderfull Granolla Parfait (granolla layered with youghurt and fresh strawberries) was 7 dollars. We found it very conviently situated for the skytrain, 9 dollars for a days unlimited use, also valid for the bus. Nearby Urban Fayre deli had amazing sandwiches/cakes/saladbowls/coffe to eat in or take out , and check out the food hall! pity you cant bring food back to UK as this shop is really something. Went on e evening to Joe Fortes Seafood/Chop House, excellent, about 10minutes easy walk.
Vancouver is a great city, everyone so nice, dont think Canadians know how to be rude!

I just completed a wonderful stay at the Pinnacle Hotel in downtown Vancouver.

The staff at the hotel were very hospitable and the room decor was clean, modern, and luxurious. The ONLY gripe I have with the hotel is the ridiculous charge they have for internet (which they group with the phone).

Otherwise.

You can't beat the Hotel Location for business, right immediately next to the towering skyscrapers of the Financial District yet also near the posh Coal Harbour neighbourhood.

And being in the big city, there's plenty to see and do and all of it is within the confines of the downtown peninsula core! Vancouver is my favourite city in the world and the Pinnacle Hotel is definitely one of the city's best be it business or pleasure!

Stayed for three nights on Marriott points. Great, safe and central Hotel Location to all downtown Vancouver destinations. Nice hotel, great views from rooms.

Although the Marriott Pinnacle is not what I'd consider a 5-star hotel, it easily gets a 5/5 here when considering the value factor. The Hotel Location was within an easy walk of shopping, dining, and the water, the staff was friendly, check-in was efficient, parking is expensive but easy to access, the room was nice with amazing views and better linens than expected, and the $15.95/day for in-room internet and unlimited long-distance calling to the U.S. was a deal considering how ridiculous hotel phone charges usually are. My 5 rating is based on the $139 rate for all of the above that I found on the Marriott.com site by pre-paying (non-refundable) the room and tax. I'd have gone elsewhere for over $200/night, but $139 was a steal.

We stayed here for the last 2 nights of our holiday. What a great hotel. It is located in the Business District but we had fabulous views from our hotel room. The room was large (especially by European standard), very clean and had everything we needed. The valet parking is a must and only costs a few dollars more. The Concierge was also excellent and offered great advice on what to do and where to eat. One night we decided we wanted to try a real fish restaurant and the hotel booked us in at "Joe Fortes" and this is a must - although it was very busy, so booking is a must.

We felt the only downside to the hotel was the bar area and this was very "business" orientated and although we tried it a couple of times, we never felt comfortable.

This is our first time to Vancouver, having toured the Rockies, and we were pleasantly surprised. The city is very clean and the Hotel Location of the hotel was great. Will definately stay here again when visiting Vancouver.

I stayed at the Marriott in the heart of downtown Vancouver for 5 nights and had a very pleasant stay. What sets this particular Marriott apart from other top quality hotels is the extra effort by the front desk staff to make their guests feel special and appreciated.

My stay was jointly for business and pleasure and the front desk staff assisted in numerous ways whenever I needed help by sending faxes or offering tips to great restaurants in the area. Upon entering the lobby, I was regularly greeted by my proper name which was really a nice touch that I appreciated. This type of service is uncommon in most hotels in this day and age.

The room was very comfortable and as always, Marriott supplied an outstanding bed.

The valet parking team always had my vehicle ready on time and assisted loading my snowboard equipment in the car whenever I left for the slopes. All in all, I would highly suggest this hotel when staying in Vancouver.
