Hotel Review of the Sandman
Suites Hotel Guildford
5 September 2011
I've stayed at a couple hotels in the area while on business, but this one is by
far the best. This is the hotel that made me join this site just to post, there
are tons of options that look good and I'm positive that some hotels are having
friends and family review their hotel. Sandman though is top of the line, all
the rooms are fantastic. I had a last minute check in for 7 days, and while they
were full, they still managed to move me from a street side to the rear. Really
friendly staff, good food in the restaurant and a few nice shops near by.

We had a junior suite. Balcony with mountain views on the 6th floor. In suite
laundry. Full Kitchen. King bed (why we got it). Room Service. Gated underground
parking. Very clean and comfortable. Located close to the highway but not close
enough to hear it. Little tricky to get back on to the highway, but not
impossible. Close to the Skytrain. Would stay again if going to Vancouver.

Suites Hotel Guildford
Jan 10, 2011
I stayed here for a week in January and I had my regular expectations of what a
hotel should provide me, but this place exceeded my expectations. Its an all
suite hotel with separate bedroom from living rom/kitchen. It really feels like
a nice one bedroom condo more then a hotel and the front desk feels like your
personal assistant. The rooms are large, clean and have a pleasant view. There
are large windows that open up and let a lot of light in. There is also a good
sized balcony. We stayed here for a week and spent a lot of time in the room.
Usually a hotel room feels like a dark crammed place that you cant wait to get
out of. This place really felt like home, you could do your own cooking, there
was a nice electric fireplace, THERE WAS LAUNDRY IN THE SUITE which really
surprised me, and a secure gated underground parkade. The area is alright,
everything you need is there including every imaginable fast food chain (I
gained 10 lbs because of this), the 2nd biggest mall in BC is only a block away.
and its on a main street close to the freeway for ease of access to wherever you
want to go. The hotel has a Moxies for eating at and a roof top patio that i
would imagine to be nice in the summer.
A few things worth noting that impressed me:
-Free wireless is standard, but the business center let me use the internet and
print a bunch of stuff off for free, i printed about 20 pages for free, not that
I am overly impressed with saving $5 but its those little things that add up and
make me feel relaxed, and not like someone's got their hand in my front pocket
grabbing for cash, although the staff here are very easy on the eyes so maybe i
wouldn't have mind that lolz.
-Free newspapers of all kinds every day.
-Very kind staff, everyone working here was in a great mood and very friendly
and helpful.
-The service at moxies was beyond what i would expect, we had a special request
and the chef came out personally to ensure he got the orders right. The waiting
staff were extra friendly and everyone at the entire place seemed very social.
-continental breakfast was more like coffee and muffins but the coffee was fresh
and the atmosphere was very nice.
-landscaping of the property was beautiful, the plants, shrubs and bushes has
added a beautiful scent to the fresh BC air.
Negatives: North Surrey has some rift raft, although no rift raft came near the
hotel, and they had a very secure building (i never worried about my vehicle),
Surrey IS Surrey and you didn't have to drive more then about 2 minutes to find
drugged out wacko types doing odd things.
-Also further down the street at some of the Tim Horton's and Pizza places
there's groups of immigrants that were looking and acting like tuff guys, I
found that intimidating even though they didn't say or do anything to me, I
really didn't like having to be around that, which wasn't a big deal because
after I got my coffee I just drank it in my vehicle anyways.
All in all I would stay here again in a heartbeat (If I had a worthy reason to
be in Surrey again lol) This hotel isn't the Venetian Las Vegas by any means, I
don't think it even has a pool, but if you want to rent a suite in Surrey for a
very reasonable rate, then look no further my friend!!!!
