Guest Reviews of the Sandman Vancouver
Airport Hotel
August 27, 2011
We stay at this hotel for total of 8 nights during our road trip in Vancouver.
The rooms are clean and the bed is pretty comfy. There was no fan in the
bathroom. It could be a hassle when 4 of us need to use the bathroom right after
each other.
The hotel provides free parking and Internet. It also provides free airport
shuttle bus. The work out room is small and has no weight.
Although the hotel was near the airport, but we did not have any sleeping
problems during those nights we stayed. There were A&W, Tim Horton, and Moxie
near the hotel. Not a great location for visitors who has no car, because it is
18 minutes walk away from the Bridgeport Station.
Front desk staffs were friendly and helpful. They were able to help us to find
late night restaurant and show us directions to places. We will be back.

We stayed here one night , we had parked our car One week earlier and used the
room at the end of our trip. The hotel was OK for one night late arrival early
departure
My car was parked for a week outside near Moxies Restaurant
This was the only hotel that I have parked my car for any length of time and not
been asked the registration or given them the keys
I'm sure I could have parked for free!!
Our room was adequate 2 Double beds .....It was pretty dark

I am just finishing up my stay here (August 10-12). The hotel is very close to
YVR Vancouver Airport, literally on the same street. It's very close to the
Canada Line that take you right to
downtown as well, less than 15 minutes this morning in rush hour. The hotel
itself has some age to it but the bed is comfy and room spacious. I got upgraded
to a loft room on the 5th floor. The bathrooms are very clean and were cleaned
to a spic and span again while I was out. Would stay again for sure. Good for
families and the budget conscious traveler. Moxie's restaurant is attached to
the hotel which is also super convenient, and for the true Canadians, Tim
Hortons is right across the street! Will be back!

Be sure to not mix up Sandman inn with Sandman Signature hotel. The latter
looked a lot nicer, at least from the outside.
We stayed at the Sandman Inn. It was ok... but for sure it's a very old and run
down place.
Pros:
1. It was cheap. We got an early bird deal that was $79/night.
2. We got a free upgrade to a loft suite that included a fridge, microwave,
toaster, kettle and coffee machine.
3. The front desk staff was very nice and accommodating. My parents' room
smelled horrible (it wasn't a moldy smell or smoke, just horrible). We did check
in 2 hours early so didn't have another room available right away but we had to
go for lunch and they had a room ready within the hour we went out.
4. Free airport shuttle was convenient.
Cons:
1. Old, old, old. The rooms need a complete facelift. The carpet is really old
and dingy. It was pretty dark and gloomy in the rooms.
2. The "fitness" room was a joke - but I guess it wasn't a top priority.
3. There's no waterslide! I guess some people who wrote about the slide may have
been at the Sandman Signature hotel or the Sandman that's in downtown Vancouver,
but not the Sandman Inn at the Vancouver Airport.
All-in-all, it was ok. We were in Vancouver for my brother's wedding and we
barely stayed in the hotel so it really was only for sleeping. But to be honest,
I wouldn't go back.
