I found this hotel online. A number of the hotels in the area
offer a free week of parking if you stay before/after you
travel. There was no mention of this on their website so I
phoned the hotel. The lady I spoke with told me that I would get
a free week of parking and that anything after that would be
charged at $5/day. We needed to leave our car for 12 days. She
said that the website indicated the charge would be $8/day but
that they really only charged $5. I told her I would book it
online and she thanked me. She was very courteous.
We arrived late in the evening and our international flight left
at 06:30.
When I went to check in the "gentleman" at the desk told me that
there was no parking available and that even if there were I
would have to pay $8/day for it and no complimentary week would
be given. It took me 5 tries to tell him (because he
continuously and very rudely kept interrupting me) that I had
spoken with one of their staff and had been assured of the week
of complementary parking. He then told me that they had no
female staff at their hotel (?). I told him I wanted to cancel
my reservation given these revelations and he laughed at me and
told me that my credit card had already been charged and there
would be no refund. He referred me to a Park & Fly lot nearby
and by the time I got back to my room with the $140 parking fees
on my credit card it was 11 PM.
We found the room to be less than clean but it was quiet.
All in all - a horrible experience.

Checked into hotel room after booking online. Walked into room
and discovered stains on comforter and sheets. Room was also
dirty with dirt on floor and cobwebs/dust in corners. My husband
went to see about another room while I hit the shower, as we had
just gotten off the plane from a long trip and I was desperate
to shower and go to bed. My husband returned with keys for
another room, while I was trying to shower in a tub that had a
broken plug-so I had to stuff a facecloth under it to keep it
open so the tub would drain and not flood. My husband told me
that he had gotten us another room, but the man at the counter
wanted us to make sure that we didn't mess up this room because
they didn't want to clean it again!!! We went into the new room,
only to discover the same stained sheets and filth. Needless to
say, we demanded our money back and went to the Executive Inn
down the street. For the same price we got a huge, spotless room
overlooking a quiet courtyard, and great service. No comparison.
I guess the sign out front said it all : "Free" rides to
airport-$5. Seriously, the free was in quotations and
everything.

Great location, free wifi, friendly service. I’ve been staying
at this hotel now for several years when I have to change planes
in Vancouver. The location is great for getting to the airport
and there is a free shuttle service.

Good Airport Location Nice and close to the Vancouver Airport,
with a free shuttle leaving every half hour almost all day.
Pretty basic hotel, a little expensive but basic.

I chose this Comfort Inn because it was said to have an airport
courtesy bus. However, the bus was NOT available when I arrived
at 2am from New York, so I had to take a taxi, which was an
unplanned for expense. Also, it was a long walk to the Aberdeen
Sky Train Station, the nearest place to buy an all day
transportation ticket. Apart from that, it was very comfortable
and I was able to leave my baggage in a security room during the
day. The midday checkout suited me fine, as well. The full
American breakfast was not included in the overnight tariff but
was very good value & was delicious.

We booked that hotel because we were in Vancouver only for a day and a
half to see a hockey game, and we wanted to be close to the airport
because our return flight was leaving at 6am. It is an OK place; nothing
extraordinary here... It smelled damp, but it was clean. The room was
small, and we booked through Travelocity and has NO VIEW at all... And I
really mean it. We were facing a wall. It was OK for 64$ per day. It was
a 5 minute walk to the SkyTrain Canada Line, which was a great way to go
to Downtown Vancouver (only 20 minutes), for 3.75$ each way. Better than
30$ to go downtown by taxi!!! If you're only planning on sleeping, this
is an OK place... And believe me, I'm picky!

We stayed for 1 night only whilst waiting for our next flight.
The shuttle service was excellent, collecting us from the airport and
then returning us early in the morning for our next flight.
The room was comfortable.
We did not eat at the hotel and found a very good restaurant nearby
instead.

The rooms were small but clean and the front desk staff was very
helpful. Good deal for the price with free airport shuttle from the
Vancouver airport. Located 2 blocks from a riverside restaurant with an
Italian restaurant across the street. There is a station for the
elevated Skyway train a half block from the hotel and a bus stop a half
block the other direction. Both of these make it good for getting into
the city if you don't have a car. If you want to drive, there's an
Enterprise car rental office literally next door.

It was hard to find because the directions said that it was on the
corner of Bridgeport Rd. and #3 Rd. (it was actually Sea Way and #3 Rd).
The room was nice and comfortable. The free wireless was convenient. The
bathroom needed extra work to remove some mildew from around the tub,
and there was some on the wall (but not enough that made it gross) Only
problem was that you could hear the squeeky, creaky bed next door when
certain people got excited.

I read the reviews before booking a night here, and they are accurate.
Six minutes from the airport is great, and it is hard to find a good
motel/hotel in Richmond for under $100/night. Our room has a musty smell
to it for some reason, but it's not bad enough to warrant a change. The
AC is different: it is a wall-mounted unit which, while very adequate
for cooling, does not provide an exchange of air. Perhaps that is the
reason for the musty smell. At any rate, I haven't seen an AC setup like
this since I was in Africa a couple of years ago. This is the kind of
place you stay in when you have to have an overnight stopover between
flights: you don't pay a lot and you don't have unreasonable
expectations!

The "important" aspect of this hotel is its LOCATION. Literally five
minutes from airport. AND, they have a dependable shuttle, a fine little
restaurant for breakfast and dinner.

Reading a few reviews and seeing that this was the cheapest hotel in
Vancouver, I wasn't expecting much. It was a very good night. Very fast
check in and check out, Room was clean and bed was great. Great value
for money.

The area around most airports are designed for travelers in a hurry, not
for charm. Vancouver Airport is no exception. Expect good value but no
nightlife or luxury.
Our price was $119 (Cdn) per night grand total, which worked out to $103
(US) through my credit card. The staff was polite and professional. The
room was quiet, clean, and fully stocked. It featured full bath,
air-conditioning, clock radio, phone, TV (52 channels), coffee maker,
and hair dryer. Free amenities included parking, local phone calls,
airport shuttle, and cable internet access. There is a charge for
wireless internet. On-site was an outdoor pool, restaurant, and
beer/wine store. Nearby were several fast food places. Parking was
extremely tight, and we ended up being told to park in the taxi zone.
There is no smoking permitted anywhere on the premises.
The place has none of the charm or excitement that would make you want
to visit Vancouver, and is a fairly long drive from the center of the
city. But if you're just stopping for a night or two, this place is
perfectly acceptable.

we literally just stayed for a few hours, as we didn't want to sleep at
the airport
We thought the shuttle bus wasn't going anymore so we took a taxi from
the airport ( 10,00 cad)
yet the shuttle was still running, so could have saved another cad10,00
Check in was quit and smooth.
The room was good, nothing special yet we had some problems with the air
conditioning, we couldn't quite figure it out how to put it on lower, so
it was quite cold.
Couple hours later we checkout, took the shuttle back and flew onwards..
Good basic hotel, free wifi is big plus !
Good beds, small bath

My wife and I stayed here one night before heading to Vancouver Island.
The room was in fair condition. The room did not appear to be dirty but
both of us (as well as a local friend) noticed that our legs began to
itch soon after we entered the room--did not actually see anything, but
we were suspicious. The morning complimentary breakfast was quite
good--larger than what we expected. Front desk staff were reasonably
courteous.

I traveled by myself to Australia and stayed over night at the comfort yvr. the front desk was extremely helpful ...they were under staff but
the check-in process was just done in a min and printed out my boarding
pass for me too. i also asked where to have dinner and they suggested a
Chinese restaurant close by...it only cost me $7 for a noodle soup,
drink & dessert. the room was neat n' modern...i loved the
mattress....front desk told me my room was newly renovated and i guess
is a pretty old property since it has only 1 elevator. the chef who
serve the continental breakfast was friendly...will stay again

This was my first visit to the Comfort Inn Vancouver Airport. Our budget
was tight, so when I found a rate for under $60 on the website, I
decided it was a no lose situation! The room was actually much nicer
than I expected, though you can definitely tell this is an older
building--room was fairly small too. A small fridge (at minimum) and a
microwave (bonus) would have made the stay better--though not sure where
they'd fit them. We had to leave on the 4:40 am shuttle to the airport,
so didn't have breakfast at the hotel, so cannot comment on that. Also
didn't need parking, so unsure how that is.
No problems with Check in or Check out....wake up call
worked.....shuttle was free and got us there in time.
All in all, good experience for the awesome price. Nothing that really
turned me off this time, so would stay again if same great rate. For an
airport hotel, this one was satisfactory for sure.
