We booked a nice room for our anniversary weekend, and would certainly come again. The Jacuzzi was a nice feature... Very helpful and friendly staff, a nice place to stay, close to everything.
Great location within the downtown, too.
We're already thinking Valentine's Day...

We had so much!!! Stayed during the Grey Cup, paid a bit more, of course, reserved a fabulous suite with Jacuzzi tub and 2 bedroom suite. Staff was really nice, very accommodating, helped us with anything we needed. \check in and check out was fast and efficient. Evening staff and day time staff very very nice. We will definitely return!

This was a great place to stay in Vancouver. Our stay was short and we arrived at 5.30am and had booked for the night before. We were made most welcome with our room being checked before we booked in to make sure it was ok. This hotel was walking distance to most attractions including Gastown and Granville Island. A must on Granville Island is the shop that sells stone carvings from Zimbabwe. In the doorway is Harry the Hippo, who you cant help but rub his tummy. The carvings are absolutely magnificent especially when you talk to the proprietor and find out a little about the carvers history.

We happened to book the weekend over the Halloween period and we had so much fun! Hotel staff was very nice and courteous, room nice and clean, a bit on a smaller side, but we got used to that already, all big cities have that problem. Security was first class, some people tried to party in the hallways, but were sent to their rooms with warning that one more noise , they will be out, which was very nice, we wanted to go to sleep at some point. We went out, the whole Granville street was alive, it was amazing. we will definitely be back!!!

I stayed here for 2 weeks from August 31st till September 11th. All of the stuffs are very nice and know everything in Vancouver. Many stuffs are speaking English as their second language, so they know how difficult to do it for foreigners. (I'm Japanese.) I can say to them that take it easy to stay here and ask stuffs anything. The room is cleaned up by excellent housekeepers everyday! When I saw them, they were always smiling and made me happy!! The manager Lucia knows Japanese very much, so Japanese should stay here and make funny conversation in Japanese!haha
There are a lot of good restaurants around here, you don't need to be worried about that as well!
Anyway if you go to Vancouver, you must not have any choices except to Howard Johnson Vancouver!!!

This was our 3rd stay in 3 years. This is our "official hotel" everytime we come to Canada. Clean rooms, great staff, great location, good price, what else can we ask for? Now we even get recognized by hotel housekeeping staff and front desk staff. They all are just great, and we can not wait till the next time. \once again, thank you for everything!!!!

The people who give this place a poor rating haven't stayed in Vancouver very often. Vancouver is expensive. The area around the Vancouver HoJO is a bit sketchy at night, but we were only hit by two panhandlers in a ten block walk, and saw no obvious hookers. There are homeless people, all right, but that's what you get in a place with a nice climate. (You want homeless, try Victoria!) The parking lot is small for the number of rooms, and might fill up in summer. It's expensive for the cost of the rooms (rooms run from $70 to $90, parking is $19) but that's not bad for Vancouver. The lobby is a bit small, but okay. The bar/restaurant that opens off the lobby is loud, and if you're hard of hearing you might be challenged by the desk clerk's accent - I suspect that all the clerks are Asian, with fairly heavy accents. Rooms are small (very) but clean. Everything works, including the internet and the window aircon. Good bed. My wife asked for a washcloth and it came promptly. Elevators are also small, and in high season might be a problem. When I asked if I could leave the car in the lot until 4 (check-out is 1) the clerk said, "No problem." Again, the place wasn't busy at the time - the lot was only half-full. I thought it was good value for the money, and $20 cheaper than the next cheapest hotel downtown, also in the same area. Right across the street is a Chinese restaurant that serves a big breakfast for $6 including coffee. I don't know what the rest of the food is like, but the breakfast was fine.

I only stayed at this hotel for 1 night - could not fault the hotel, very airey & spacious. However, I wasnt keen on the area the hotel was based and therefore this would put me off booking there again unfortunately.
I thought London was bad with homeless people but Vancouver beats it hand down.
Didnt eat at the hotel so cant comment on food.

Stayed for two nights, be careful which room they give you, some are noisy due to construction work next to the hotel and some have very weak Wifi connection. Could change room without a problem and was very happy afterwards. Good location for going out and shopping. Bus stopp in front of the hotel or 1Min walk for other directions.

I booked this as a stop over between Vancouver Island and Sun Peaks as it had a free car park and what a great find, didn't look that good from the street but inside like a small boutique hotel, we checked in the room and were then given a fruit basket, nice touch, the room was clean and comfortable, no view but a great TV, it's above a pub but mid week the music stopped at ten, the Bfast was nice except the loud music. If you were hoping to visit downtown this may be too far out if no car, and there is a great Greek nearby called Safinari, would definitely recommend.

All in All it was a wonderful experience and we would and will be going back

I booked a room for 2 adults for 1 night of Aug15th- at Howard Johnson at 1176 Granville, Vancouver, BC through Hotwire.com. They couldn't find my reservation-so I forwarded it to Patricia, the front desk clerk, right there and then. Patricia asked if we wanted 1 bed or two beds-of course I said 2 beds. We went up to the room, left our luggage & went for dinner. Upon our return-there was a message on the phone from Patricia saying we would be charged an extra $15 for 2 double beds. I called Hotwire, but to no avail-they told me "they couldn't get in between the hotel & I". My girlfriend went down to speak to Patricia to remind her of what she said-Patricia changed the story to say she told us they may be an extra charge for 2 beds.
What is the world coming to when hotels are trying to rip off people for $15.00?
