Hotel Review of the Sandman
Suites Hotel Guildford

okay, where to begin... myself and 8 co workers stayed here for between 8 months
and a year.. The beds were very comfortable, the rooms spacious, and I loved
having my own kitchen and laundry. However, the staff was not always very
welcoming to a group that spent well over $100,000.00 there and had the rooms
full every single night. The lower floors are in desperate need of new carpet
and furniture, but the upper floors are still quite decent. Having Moxie's
downstairs is a bonus, despite their high prices. The staff, the food, and the
drink there were all above standard. Parking is a pain and you have to get there
early to get a decent spot, but thankfully the guest portion of the parkade is
secured behind a gate that only opens with a key card. Location wise, well, that
depends. You are close to shopping and transit, and only two blocks to the
freeway, however, in rush hour, the two blocks to the freeway takes 45 minutes.
You are not near the skytrain so getting into Vancouver means either drive or
shell out big bucks for a taxi. All of the conveniences are near by as far as
shopping goes, but you want to get there before dark, or have your own car,
which will probably get broken into while you shop. That is to be expected in a
metropolitan area, but my biggest beef was with the front desk staff, the
managers in particular. They seemed unmoved by the fact that we were very
regular, very high paying customers... not that that entitles us to anything,
but you would think they would at least seem thankful for the business. Instead
they act as if they were doing us a favor letting us stay there. After several
months and thousands of dollars spent, they still refused to move me to a higher
floor. I had to sneak up a level at a time by sweet talking the night staff... I
would stay here again but only because of the corporate discount I receive and
only if I was to be there long enough to make use of the kitchen and laundry. If
here for a short stay, try the Sheraton or the Ramada... The Sheraton is nicer,
the Ramada cheaper, and with much nicer beds.

Nice clean place to stay, but parking is a PAIN! Also, staff at the hotel
restaurant, Moxie's, are somewhat rude. Hotel was a little out of the way,
thought it was closer to Surrey. Getting in and out of the hotel parking lot
took time since it is located on a street that you could not cross. The hotel
did not have morning breakfast or room service until 10:00am. The hotel was
clean and very comfortable.

The hotel was well maintained, great location, staff seemed friendly although
never actually saw anyone at front desk. Great restaurant in hotel. Loved the
washer and dryer. Lots of storage space for suitcases, skis. Fireplace created
nice atmosphere. Only thing to complain about they don't tell you that you will
be charged 75c for calls using calling card. |
