Guest Reviews of the Comfort Inn Vancouver Airport

Okay so this is an older hotel and the room was practically out of the early
80's but for the one night I spent there it actually wasn't so bad and I have
definitely experienced worse hotels.
I was at a conference across the road at the Westin so spent very little time at
the Comfort Inn but almost made time for a dip in the pool as it was a nice warm
early Fall afternoon. The room I was in was 212 with two double beds that were
comfy enough to allow me to doze off for a solid 7 hours. The bathroom is fairly
small with not much of a counter to put your toiletries on, a standard
bath/shower with newer shower head, remote wall mounted AC unit and decent cable
TV. Overall a functional room but not one built for luxury or one likely to win
a place in a trendy hotel decor magazine. But if you want that kind of thing the
Westin is literally across the street and several times the price.

The staff was pleasant enough and stored my luggage the first afternoon when I
had to register for the conference and my room wasn't ready yet. I did the same
the next day at check out and came back later to retrieve the bag before taking
the shuttle to the airport. That shuttle is also shared between these two hotels
which to me couldn't be more different than night & day as the Westin is that
new, hip, trendy, design kind of hotel that charges $200+ a night while the
Comfort Inn is the older model that's seen a few miles and has a few rough spots
but is more in the $100 range. Everyone will make different choices about price
and value but my bottom line is if it was coming out of my pocket and I needed
to make a short stay near the airport I could see myself at least checking this
hotel out though I won't pretend I'd be in a hurry to rush back.

We are choice hotel members and we always look for one to stay in when we
travel. We did a cruise from Vancouver to Alaska and went three days early to
see Vancouver. We saw the Comfort Inn near the airport and thought it would be
perfect. We were greatly disappointed. The staff was not friendly, the room
smelled like mold and the carpet almost felt slick. The normally free
continental breakfast was NOT free and the complimentary internet service also
was NOT free. This hotel seems very old and in need of much repair. This is a
very poor representative of the choice hotel chain. We would never stay here
again!

Had "poolside" room with 2 double beds, room clean, but linens "paper thin" on
beds and towels also very thin. Walked from Skytrain station (about 10 mins),
free shuttle from Airport, Breakfast only served in restaurant. Nice pool area.
Italian Tomato, Subway, Burger King, Starbucks within walking distance, Cold
Beer & Wine on premises. Would probably stay at Days Inn next time, a little
more "modern".

We stayed at this hotel for two nights with family. We found it listed on the
"Choice Hotels" website. Our room was clean and VERY large -- but a little
strange! We were on the top (4th) floor and the ceiling was very high--maybe 12'
tall. Strangest thing was the windows--there were lots of them all along two
walls, but they were only about 2ft tall and way up against the ceiling so we
could only see clouds! It was a little weird not being able to see out. We sort
of felt we were in a big disco room. We had two nice big queen beds though, plus
a pretty comfortable sleeper sofa. Also in room was another small sofa and
dining table with 6 chairs, desk, fridge, and plenty of space. We were
disappointed that there was no free continental breakfast (although the manager
said the new owners may add it later this year). We were told parking was free,
but it was added to our bill (then taken off when we asked). Parking wasn't
great. There were only a few spaces in front. First night we found a space
against the building, but the second night we had to park around the corner
which didn't seem very safe (made my son go with me to park). We didn't have any
Canadian money for the vending machine and the hotel ATM didn't work, so we went
to the liquor store next door (in the same building) for sodas and snacks. The
liquor store employees were really nice and took our American cash (giving us
Canadian $ in change) and also gave us directions to the ferry to get to
Victoria the next day--they even printed us out a map! The area seemed a little
seedy, but we didn't experience anything unusual (I don't think I'd walk around
by myself though).
