Our much anticipated breakfast didn't materialize. The first thing was a note on
the coffee machine that said 'if you want your coffee hot put it in the
microwave"
Waffles, mmm not. cold and wrapped in plastic. "put in microwave"
Hey I wasn't expecting the Westin but really!
I even had a heads up on the coffee. At 11pm while in the lobby the outgoing
staff (Leo, great staff) met the incoming night guy saying the coffee pot was
broken. Ok so what did the night guy do? Nothing. I"m in the hospitality
business. If you have 7 hours till breakfast I'd expect something could have
been done ie. fill up a couple of thermoses, HELLO, !!!!!
I've been staying of late at Day's Inns and Best Westerns. They have these funky
cook your own waffles.
fantastic, Comfort Inn, get with it.

My husband and I stayed at the Comfort Inn and Suites in North Vancouver while
visiting family. I booked the hotel online after reading the reviews. Price was
great, hotel was basically what we expected - this is no five star.
I am a smoker and my husband is not, so we always book non smoking rooms and I
respect those rules. On check in, the front desk clerk informed me that she
could smell cigarette smoke on me and then proceeded to lecture me on the proper
way to exit the room ("take your key and close the door properly) to smoke
outside. I found her to be patronizing and condescending. My husband and I are
not teenagers and I resented her tone a great deal.
Housekeeping did not clean our room until late afternoon the first day (and did
not appear to ever vaccuum), and then woke us up the next two days to try and
get entry into the room early in the morning.
My husband ate the breakfast each day and said it was okay.
You get what you pay for - although I did not pay to be condescended to - a
little training in customer service for Helen at the front desk would be a good
thing!

We were here for two nights as we neared the end of a 5-week drive around
(mainly) the Pacific Northwest. We found the location here excellent, just a few
blocks from the King's Gate Bridge, then Stanley Park, and downtown Vancouver.
Literally less than 10 minutes away.
The motel itself is rather basic. The rooms are large, but not particularly
comfortable. Our sofa-bed was too uncomfortable to sit upon. Fridge (broken
handle), kitchenette with utensils and service. Coffee maker, toaster.
Breakfast downstairs was very crowded! We chose to make our own in our room the
second morning.
Liked the low price and excellent location

In trying to save money on our trip, we booked a room with a kitchen. The room
was a good size, and compared to the cost of other hotels, we were very happy.
The bathroom setup was not good though, there is no door between the room and
sink area. The kitchen was decent although not stocked with many kitchen tools.
Basic, but was all we really needed. Convenient location if you're doing a lot
of sight seeing in North Vancouver. Room was clean, Bed and pillows were
remarkably comfy, air conditioning was wonderful. It is budget accommodation,
but was perfect for our needs. Very practical for those on a tight budget.

The location here is excellent. There are many attractions within minutes from
the hotel. from parks to rain forests. Also very close to the highway to
Whistler and other destinations. Great value for the money. The Breakfast is
certainly nothing special but since our room had a kitchen worked out fine.
Location keeps you out of the city which is very important if you want to get
anywhere in a reasonable time. You do need a car to stay here but that being
said worked out to be a great base of operation. We would return to this
location when we come back to BC.

We stayed at this hotel for 4 nights. We arrived early and the lady on the desk
found a room for us and even gave us an upgrade to a suite for a cheaper price
than we'd booked on-line. She was very helpful with information about the area
and was very efficient with checking us in. We had a suite with a separate
bedroom, lounge with couch, table, chairs, microwave and fridge and separate
bathroom. Our suite looked out onto the courtyard. The hotel is easily accessed
not far over the bridge from Stanley Park and is just down the road from the
Capilano Suspension Bridge. Breakfast was provided each day and there was a fair
selection of items however by day 4 we were getting a bit sick of the same
choices. The hotel was also only about a 20 minute drive to the ferry terminal
for Vancouver Island if you are heading that way and/or to the Butchart Gardens
which are spectacular. Overall this was an excellent place to stay and we were
very happy with our choice.

Found this hotel here , stayed 3-nights before an Alaska cruise. We chose it for
the free parking, Vancouver has a parking shortage and the hotels in downtown
charge big money for parking. We also liked the two bedroom suite since we had
our teenage son & 10-year old daughter with us, each got thier own bed. The
kitchenette was also handy. Hotel amenities are dated but functional, you get
what you pay for, good value, but could use an upgrade, which would likely drive
up room rates. Staff were very friendly, maid service exceptional. Get a rental
car to get around, unless you are going to Capilano Bridge, not much sight
seeing nearby. There are a few restaurants nearby.

allocated room with king size bed and kitchenette - sadly had a few ants in so
went to reception and the man immediately offered us a room of our choice - we
chose a one bedroom apt with no kitchenette which was fine - a little dated with
decoration which made the cleanliness look a little tired but fine for a one
night stay.....staff were lovely and free parking was excellent - amenities in
short distance if you did not want to get back in car for eating out - we went
to Lonsdale quay which was lovely (need a car to get to it) - free breakfast
included in stay which was cereal, toast, muffins and waffles - probably would
not stop here for long but quite adequate for a stop over.

I recently stayed at this hotel and was very surprised. The service was great -
much more personalized and responsive to my needs than that experienced at
larger and pricier hotels. While the hotel was situated close to a main road,
the rooms were set far enough back and well insulated because noise was never an
issue. The quaint little courtyard with the fish pond was a nice area to eat
breakfast. The staff even provided fish-food for my son to feed the goldfish.
The hotel location was very close to all the attractions we wanted to see,
including downtown. I would definitely not hesitate to recommend this hotel to
others.

We were a party of 4 with one infant so the suite (room) was a little cramped,
but it had a kitchenette so it was ok for the price. Also they do not have a 2
guests only per room, so that was economical. But we were a little put off to
see the cleaning people put towels and sheets in the corridor outside the rooms
and some even in the mud and plants. They have a good breakfast spread which is
free. Overall its good value for money and one of the cheapest we could find in
Vancouver.

Stayed here mid October whilst flat hunting. Location is a bit out of the way
although it is on a major bus route.
Accommodation was fine-nothing fancy - looks quite like a motel only clean! TV
in room, washing machines (coin operated) on site and helpful staff.
We stayed for 2 weeks and I would rate it as average- not somewhere you want to
stay for a romantic getaway- more like a business trip or just somewhere to lay
your head.
They did offer special rates though depending on length of stay. |
