Guest Reviews of the Sandman Hotel & Suites Vancouver
Airport

So after my horrible experience at the "Coast Aiport Hotel"
(coast must be a verb in this case), I frantically started
calling around and came upon Sandman. The front desk person was
excellent in helping me book a room at very short notice at a
great price. The room was immaculate, the hotel was located in a
great area (walk to restaurants, stores, close to the airport,
shuttle to airport) and the customer service continues to
impress. An example of the attention to detail - the curtains
close overlapped for perfect privacy instead of most hotels'
curtains where a sliver of the outside is always visible. I had
never heard of Sandman until my frantic search but they are now
on the top of my list of preferred hotels.

everything in the hotel was great, I have no problem with
receptions like some did in above posts, staffs are pretty
friendly and helpful. but 2 things i dislike A LOT.
First, it's the air conditioning, we stayed @ the loft room, and
there's only 1 air conditioner for both floors, and it's not
central a/c like most of the other hotels. On the unit, you can
adjust the "temperature" from 66-88, i assume these numbers
actually means temperature in °F, obviously lowest you can is
66, at first I thought it's my room a/c not working properly,
because i had it turned on for 2 hours, and my room is still not
cool, then I called front desk and they told me 66 indeed is the
lowest you can set, 66 works out around 18 °C. My car's air
conditioner works A LOT better than the room's.
Secondly, the hotel itself has NO air ventilation at all!! My
wife and me started talking to another guest staying in the same
floor while waiting on the same floor, we were all very amazed
on how hot the hallway is. Then once we get into the elevator,
it's even worse. It's my first time in an elevator where there's
no ventilation fan at all. I feel kind of suffocate just waiting
for the elevator to go from floor 5 to main floor, that's how
bad it is!
The impressions me and my wife got from this hotel is, the
management is either very earth friendly and trying to save
energy, or just extremely cheap on their electricity bill!
But to be fair, if you are not planning a trip to Vancouver
during the summer, this is a nice place to stay considering it's
location and price!

This is a very good hotel. The room was magnificent, a staircase
led to the upstairs to a bedroom. It has a very nice restaurant,
and the room was clean, and customer service was great. It is
located near the Vancouver Intl Airport.

I stayed at the Sandman Hotels and Suites November 16, 2007. I
had a 7:00am to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico the next morning. It is
super close to YVR and there is a free shuttle to YVR in the
morning. Of course I tipped the driver though. I got to the
hotel, and they were almost at capacity, so we got a free
upgrade to a loft suite. Decent, nothing too too fancy, but
perfect for a one night stay before an early flight. The stay is
very friendly, and there is a Moxie's downstairs. We also booked
this hotel for May 23, 2008 prior to our flight to Cancun,
Mexico, because we were happy with our previous experience. They
upgraded us to the much nicer Sandman Signature hotel down the
street! Both times we booked here, we received free upgrades!
