I would call The Tropicana "shabby chic". Slightly worn around the edges but, clean and full of character. The suite was comfy, very clean and I couldn't hear the neighbours at all. The kitchen was impeccably clean and supplied with dishes and cookware, all in clean working order. I could walk in my socks on the rug and they stayed clean (a clean room test for me). The price is right for downtown Vancouver. Great restaurants and shopping within walking distance, free off street parking and attentive staff. The lower floors seem to be permanent residents, we met a few and they were very cordial and helpful. Never saw any sign on "children tearing through the lobby" or "surly" staff of any kind. We will definitely be back the next time we travel to Vancouver.

This all suite hotel is a mix of residents and guests. We were delighted to find a clean apartment with a wonderful staff who were very helpful. If you are looking for a multi-cultural experience in a multi-cultural city, this is your place. If you are a Holiday Inn type with prefab breakfast of junk food, you may want to look elsewhere. Rooms were recently renovated with a complete apartment (including pots and pans) There are many great dining and shopping opportunities nearby or hop on one of the many tour busses available. Robson St is the fashion area of Vancouver so it's all available for you! Enjoy!

After a recommendation from a our group made a reservation at this hotel when we were traveling to Vancouver on business and added a personal day on to our trip. We knew that we were staying at a budget hotel but this was so "low-rent" that you couldn't pay me to stay there. The first impression was so deplorable we didn't even check into our room. Upon entering the lobby you are greeted by an odour that can only be described as the great unwashed doused in cheap perfume. Children (elementary school age) tearing through the lobby. We were "greeted" by a surly front desk agent in a faded ratty t-shirt. Our reservation was incorrect. We had booked for 4 girls to stay in one room and had been told we would have 2 Queens & a pullout when making the reservation. We were told what was a available was a room with one double and a pull out, that Queens didn't even exist and they were sold out. We then pointed out their website details including the information of bed type - Queens exist). We stepped aside to talk about what we were going to do. It was at this point we opted to check Expedia for alternate accommodation. When he realized what we were doing he YELLED at us to "just leave then". Done!
I cannot comment on rooms, amenities or anything else other then to say that perhaps they rent their rooms by the hour.

This hotel does not appear to have had any updating since the 1970's. It might have been a three star when first opened, but is a zero star now. Filthy carpets, holes in the walls, holes in the sheets, no doors on the closets, rock hard mattresses, threadbare towels. Intense and nauseating smell of smoke. We had to sleep with the windows open in mid winter because of the stench. Internet and fan in bathroom didn't work, nor did many of the electrical sockets. Large chunk of the toilet was missing. Fire alarms and smoke detectors are wired on the outside of the walls. This was the worst hotel I've ever seen, including some Third World places. Do yourself a favor--no discount rate is worth your self respect.

The rooms are like little apartments, with a kitchenette and living room. There is a fridge and microwave, so you can bring home left overs from some of the great restaurants in the area, or buy fresh bread and fruit from the market just down the street.

Kitchen We stayed at the Tropicana for 3 nights . It was easy to find on Robson St (despite the road work being done further up Robson). It is walking distance to Stanley Park, and what's even better, you can rent bikes at a shop near the park and take in the whole park on bicycles. There is a lot of sidewalk shopping just down the street, and a shopping mall about 6 or 7 blocks down.

We were able to check right and get our room key to suite 1001- the first suite on the 10th floor. This faced Robson St which was a blessing and a curse- as I will explain. You enter into a hallway and on the left is a small bathroom and bedroom and to the right, a living room and kitchen. It's a smallish apartment and perfect for 2 people, or a family, for an extended stay. There is a precariously small balcony facing Robson that we barely dared to step out on (it was only about 2 feet deep) but the views were great- you could see all the way to Stanley Park and the mountains beyond.

We had a decent stay, nothing spectacular. The rooms could do with an overhaul of paint and carpet and furniture for sure. It's not for the fussy or picky but completely fine and functional if you go into it knowing that Vancouver is an expensive city and for $129 (CAD) we got a bargain.
Like other previous reviewers we really liked the location. I booked the hotel through www.allure-hotels.com

We just got back from a five night stay at the Tropicana in lovely Vancouver. You cannot beat the location of this hotel. Close to everything, no need for taxis. Right on gorgeous Robson Street where you'd normally spend double the price on the fancy hotels. Granted this is just a Motor Hotel, so it's not fancy. If you're fussy, go spend double down the street. This is our third time back to the Tropicana and it won't be the last!

Bang for your buck
This hotel is showing its’ age. But you can’t beat the value. The location was spot on and the room was comfortable. While the carpets were worn, the room was clean and quiet. We were satisfied with our choice.

Good value, convenient for families.
The Tropicana isn’t fancy but it was super convenient, clean, had free parking, and the staff were really helpful and polite. It was nice to have a suite (we were there with the kids). The room smelled a bit smoky and the sofa bed was really really uncomfortable but hey, the kids didn’t care! We had a nice view. I would stay there again.

Great location, spartan living
OK hotel, central location. Old, and showing it (e.g. paint peeling from ceiling in bathroom, paper wedges needed in window frames to keep them from rattling in the wind). I was desperate, given that I was told to be at the Olympics with only 3 weeks notice, so most hotels were booked. Given that, it was comfortable and clean. Price was high, but reasonable for the circumstances. Staff was friendly and helpful.

I have been to Vancouver, British Columbia, a few times. The City is a very big city, and it is always better to stay at a place close and convenient to travel around to places one needs to.
I was there once on a business trip, and hence wanted to stay at a hotel close to the business district, and also close to the area where there were nice restaurants for having lunches and dinners. Searching for a suitable place, I decided to stay at the Tropicana Suite Hotel, right in the downtown core. The staff was very friendly and hospitable, making sure that the guests were satisfied and comfortable. The front desk service was there 24 hours too

That was a perfect choice for us. Tropicana Suite Hotel was located right in the heart of the City within walking distances to the business centers where I had my appointments to attend to. Many excellent restaurants and shopping centers were also close by.
I had a suite on a high level, with an astonishing view of the waterfront and the beautiful mountains. The suite was adequately furnished, had a double bed, a large comfortably furnished living room, and a kitchenette complete with the utensils.
