Decent hotel, staff was friendly. A tad on the expensive side but
overall a good experience. We were able to get an early check-in and
late check-put without a problem.
1. great location - close to restaurants and shopping 2. lighting in
room was a little dim 3. check in counter person was super nice

The new train line picks up across the street and goes downtown. Free
internet, free shuttle to/from the airport, nicely decorated
contemporary rooms, comfortable beds and nice bedding, good blackout
drapes. Exceeded my expectations for a layover stay.

This hotel is one I've stayed at twice for business, and will do it
again. The beds are very comfortable and clean, and appointments are
very nice. The details have not been overlooked with this hotel. Quality
service, with an updated modern yet comfortable feeling is my opinion of
this hotel. I do not have any suggestions to make this hotel better,
although two things. The bathroom seems small - which was fine for me
since I was travelling alone, however if my spouse had been there, it
could be tight in the mornings getting ready. The other only criticism I
would have is that on my first visit, light rail "air train" had not yet
been completed. Now that it is completed, and there is a train stop just
outside the hotel (which is nice and convenient!), the brakes on the
train squeaking to a stop can be a bit distracting. The windows do a
good job at shielding from the noise, but it can be heard in the rooms
on that end of the hotel. Overall: A- from this very critical frequent
business-hotel user.

I was at first apprehensive since I have read some reviews about the
hotel. However, the experience was awesome. The staff was very helpful.
It is conveniently located (at least for us) in Richmond. Right across
is the Aberdeen mall which has a food court on the top floor. It is also
close to a supermarket T&T which sells Oriental food. The bed is the
number bed which allows you to adjust the comfort level. Make sure you
check if you should pay for parking or not.

The Radisson is by all accounts average. Rooms are decent, but by no
means fancy. The location is convenient to the airport, but otherwise in
a very forgettable spot. The food is fine, but not great. Pretty much
what you'd expect from a hotel that is best used as a convenient place
to stay before an early morning flight out of YVR. The word "President"
in the title is a complete misnomer.

The only bright spot of this hotel is a new SkyTrain (monorail) station
right across from the hotel. It's in the midst of Richmond area, a heavy
Asian community. There's nothing wrong with that except you can't find
any western restaurants nearby so you are stuck with the hotel
restaurant for breakfast which serves terrible food and little to no
service. If you want to eat at some of the Asian restaurants especially
during weekends, you better have a reservation since we couldn't even
get a table at 5pm. Suggest you stay somewhere else.

Looks like a modern hotel from the outside but more than a bit worn down
on the inside. Carpets, beds, and rooms could use a makeover but I think
they haven't gotten to it yet. The hotel is undergoing major renovation
and what is annoying is that you can hear the renovation in the middle
of the night. Jackhammers and drilling were heard at 3AM from our room!
Has an indoor pool which is a necessity for the Vancouver area and an
outstanding exercise room. They charge for use of computer.
Parking is a bit of a hassle. The lot in front of the hotel is minuscule
and they use the President Plaza parking structure above the third floor
about a block away for overflow (and the elevators don't always go up
there). This parking structure does not feel secure. Make sure you don't
leave valuables in car, even in the trunk.
A plus is nearby proximity of Yaohan Centre and Abrerdeen Centre within
easy walking distance. Those two places have outstanding food courts for
lunch and dinner. |

I stayed here with my Mom and sister to attend a wedding. The
hotel fit all our needs and we were very happy with the
facilities and staff. The only not-great experience was at the
lobby bar, where we met some friends on Saturday afternoon. We
ordered coffee and it took forever to get it. Furthermore, we
got the bill that belonged to another table - fortunately, my
Mom reviewed it and caught the mistake - we only had coffees and
a juice, and had we not noticed (especially since we were with
friends and distracted), we would have ended up paying for much
more. The only other thing I'd say is that it is great that they
have rooms with both a King and a Queen but if you really need
this configuration, make sure to call ahead of time and have
them reserve one for you. We were going to have one of these
rooms but since we had a late arrival, they were all gone and we
ended up with 2 Queen beds instead. The location is terrific
since it is accross the street from the Aberdeen (Hong Kong
style shopping) Mall, which also has a Starbucks in it. OVERALL,
it is a great facility and we would definitely stay there again! |

Great location, comfortable beds. Air conditioning was not
strong enough. Check-in was not the best. At 8:00 pm on a
weeknight, there was only one staff member at the front counter,
thus I had to wait for 5 mins before I could check-in. However
the check-in process was speedy and the staff member was
friendly and courteous. I requested a higher level floor and the
staff member honored my request by giving me a room on the top
floor. The room was clean and renovated. Firmness adjustable
beds was nice. LCD screen TV. Two complaints: 1) The air
conditioning had a maximum setting of 18.5C, which was not
comfortable enough (It was cooler to open the window!); 2) The
control for drain in the bathtub did not raise or lower the
plunger correctly. Otherwise, the hotel stay was excellent.
Check-out was swift. |

We loved our stay and felt the staff went out of their way to
help us. We were headed out to go camping for 10 days and didn’t
want to rent a car. No problem: great Chinese restaurants in
walking distance, also grocery and liquor store a short walk
away. Staff let us repack our purchases in the lobby (!) and
were friendly and helpful despite our short stay and rough
appearance. About when we left the monorail linking up Richmond
with Vancouver was up and running, so that’s another reason
we’ll stay there again. |

What a lovely hotel, the best we have stayed in in that area.
The staff are so helpful, nothing is too much trouble. Reception

assist. Rooms are VERY clean and modern, sleep number beds etc. |

My husband and I stayed here twice in ten days and enjoyed the
neighborhood, the Red Star restaurant next door and the Asian
mall across the road. The beds were very comfortable, the
complimentary airport shuttle a godsend and the front of house
staff were very accommodating! We are only sorry we did not have
time to use the pool! |

This is a very nice hotel, the staff was friendly, helpful and they
definitely speak English. We arrived early and did not expect the room
to be ready for us. However, the hotel staff was kind enough to check us
in and we were upgraded to a suite. The room was spacious and trendy
with comfortable king size bed, a sofa bed and two flat screen TVs. The
swimming pool area was clean and the fitness center has updated
exercising equipment. Hotel parking was free to all hotel guests.
Overall, I did not experience any problem and would stay here again on
my next visit. |

We had a suite (that has a separate bedroom) which was very comfortable
and spacious. The hotel has been renovated in the last year and the
rooms are done in a modern contemporary style with marble and granite
bathrooms. LCD TVs in bedroom and sitting area. Bar fridge as well.
Close to airport (5 min) and in the middle of a Chinese neighborhood.
Many excellent restaurants nearby. Complimentary breakfast in the hotel
restaurant. Parking is available but you have to pay for it. |

It has been a few years. Took our mom to Vancouver to celebrate her
birthday and we stayed here because of its convenient location. How
convenient? You can walk to all the major malls in 5-10 minutes, you
really can't beat that especially when 1) you don't want to drive and 2)
you only came here to eat. For what it's worth, my mom was happy with
the selection so we did well.
We got a suite with a sofabed in the living room. It also comes with a
round table and 4 chairs and a mini fridge - it works out perfectly.
The night of my mom's b-day, we even went downstairs to the lounge to
listen to some music and had a couple of drinks. It was so nice to see
my mom get into it - the Chinese duo was playing mostly mellow and older
songs that my mom recognized. Mom even had one drink, which she hasn't
for a long long time due to her diabetes. Our cocktails were pure sugar
water but seeing mom so happy - priceless! |

We stayed here 2 separate times. Both we needed travel to/from the
airport. The shuttle driver was very friendly and accommodating-taking
us to and from the south terminal as well.
The fitness room and pool are nice. The restaurant was a little pricey
but the food was good. Overall, everything felt clean.
It was too bad that it wasn't closer to downtown Vancouver-but we needed
it for closeness to the airport and that fit. |
