This is a wonderful hotel and we have stayed here before. Unfortunately, this
time we booked 2 rooms (one for our son and girlfriend and one for us) through
hotels.com. Be forewarned that for the DELUXE ROOM information, they are showing
the ONE BEDROOM SUITE information. The deluxe room is a hotel room - no
kitchenette, etc as the hotels.com website promises. Before booking with
hotels.com, it would probably be prudent to see if the information provided by
any hotel's website re their accommodation matches the information put out by
hotels.com

I absolutely adore this hotel. The two bedroom/two bath plus kitchenette suites
are well appointed (not modern but constantly being tastefully updated), and
they are huge by any city's standards. There is no better location in the city
(you can walk to the parliament buildings, the Empress hotel for tea (beautiful
but rooms are too small), and many great restaurants) and view of the harbor is
absolutely stunning. If by chance you choose to take the sea plane here from
Vancouver, the planes land very close to the hotel. The hotel also offers a nice
breakfast (continental but including boiled eggs, fruit, toast etc.) which can
be delivered to your room for a very small fee. I don't know who wouldn't enjoy
this hotel but it especially good for families. Stay here. You will not be
disappointed. P.S. With regards to the poor WIFI note in another review, I am
using it and have had no problems.

I've visited this hotel several times and love it. Perfect location. The free
continental breakfast is awesome, an actual meal. Out of the last 4 stays I've
been upgraded 3 times to a suite for free.

After a very late arrival from Australia (9pm) - no hassle at check in - it was
fantastic to make it to our two bedroom suite (room 704). It was well equipped
with a full kitchen, lounge room, dining table and a balcony overlooking the
marina.
Whilst there was no air conditioning, opening the balcony doors (one in each
bedroom plus the lounge room) let the air come through. The only challenge was
when the sea planes idled out the front - the fuel smell permeated the suite for
a while, but eventually went away. I didn't enjoy the noise or the smell, but my
fellow travellers loved being able to see the planes come and go - to each their
own!
There was a free breakfast available (porridge, toast, juice, cereals and fruit)
- it was nothing special, but the staff were hard working and very helpful. That
being said, with the full kitchen, I made my own breakfast most mornings of our
four night stay.
The undercover parking was handy, free internet access was reliable and the
business centre had everything we needed.
The rooms were very clean and the reception staff helpful and welcoming (not bad
when they were dealing with a difficult and boisterous golfing group).
We were able to walk to the BC Museum, around the Inner Harbour, to the shopping
precinct and there were several restaurants nearby (we went to The Keg, which
was OK).
I would definitely stay here again.
