“Amazing breakfast buffet and comfortable rooms”

Residence Inn Vancouver Downtown

Jun 22, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

This hotel was very nice. We stayed there one night, prior to boarding a cruise ship for a 7 night Northbound Cruise to Alaska. We checked in just before midnight, hence there weren't any lines. We had two adjoining rooms which both had a kitchen for in room dining. The rooms were well appointed with a sofa and two beds. The best part about the stay was their complimentary breakfast buffet in the morning. They had a variety of hot and cold dishes, ranging from eggs and waffles to some of the best chocolate long john donuts we have ever tasted. We frequently stay at Residence Inns and Fairfield Inns and this was by far the best breakfast offering we have ever seen. A similar breakfast at a local restaurant would likely be $15 per person. There are very few downsides to the hotel, but I do have to mention that the elevators took an extremely long time to come, on average 5-7 minutes. We're young and moderately active, so we found ourselves using the stairs the majority of the time. The only other disappointment was some misinformation from the hotel concierge. He quoted us only 10 to 15 minutes to walk to Stanley Park. This walk took at least 45 minutes, and more along the lines of 75 minutes to get to the main totem pole area of the park. Because it took so long we ended up having to take taxis back to the hotel so that we didn't miss their 11am checkout rule.

All in all though, it was a fantastic hotel and we would definitely stay here again in the future.

“Very Good but noisy”

Good position,half hour walk from cruise terminal.Very well appointed rooms with fridge,dishwasher,toaster,oven and general kitchen utensils.Large room with 3 seater settee,very comfortable queen beds.Some reception staff rather surly and off hand.Hotel used extensively by the big tour companies.There is extensive very loud construction work on two sides of the hotel from 0730 to about 1730 on weekdays and by the look of it this is set to continue for a long time.There is also muted disco boom boom music from a nearby disco until about 3 or 4 in the morning.Breakfast very good.Small nice pool in garden setting.

“Great Stay At the Residence Inn”

Residence Inn Vancouver Downtown

4 of 5 stars
Ottawa, Ontario
Apr 30, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

The rooms were large and had a great little kitchenette. The beds were very comfy with lots of pillows both feather and sponge.
There was a delightful cafe for dinner and lunches and the inclusive breakfast was a large buffet with eggs, pancakes or french toast, hasbrowns and every imaginable continental-style choice you could possibly desire. Help yourself to as much juice, tea or coffee as you like.
The price was very good value...would stay there again anytime!

“Buffet breakfast to die for!!!”

Residence Inn Vancouver Downtown

4 of 5 stars
Port Angeles, Washington
Apr 26, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

Booked through Kayak search and Skoosh had the lowest rate of $94 plus tax. This was a terrific value as I checked with Marriott and their lowest rate was $209 plus tax. The hotel is situated a half block off Davie street, which is a major thouroughfare in the heart of the gay district. Walking the streets at night wasn't an issue as some have insinuated. Yes there are a few bars but this is not unusual for a large metropolitan city. Davie Street also offers many good restaurants and shopping galore. The hotel is clean, has a tour booth near the entrance. Checking in was smooth and quick. I traveled with a friend and we were provided with our own electronic keys. The suite was clean and had 2 queen sized beds which were quite comfortable. Studio had a mini fridge, microwave, stovetop, dishes, utensils and cleaning materials. The standard 27" TV had ample satelite channels, including TCM and ESPN, channels I enjoy watching! The hotel is totally non-smoking, has a nice whirlpool and an average gym with one treadmill, walking eliptical, free weights, mats and a 27" TV. Underground parking was easy to manouver although the daily parking rate of about $22 seemed steep. There is major costruction going on behind the hotel but since we stayed over a weekend this was not an issue. View from balcony was decent but only a small area of ocean could be seen.

“Fine for what it is”

Residence Inn Vancouver Downtown

Apr 23, 2008

I stayed at the Residence Inn for business for a few days. It was fine. Nothing special. But clean and safe. There is free internet which was good. The breakfast was very large but quality was just okay. Front desk staff were nice but I had a couple of requests that were never fulfilled. I forgot to bring toothpaste and I requested it twice. Once at the front desk and later called from my room. Through my whole stay they never brought me up any even though they said they would. Also I requested a wake up call and they didn't call me. Same thing happened to my colleague. Request a room facing the front of the hotel as I was facing the back and which looks onto very noisy daytime construction. Convenient location though. This hotel is fine for business or family trips but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for couples on a romantic getaway or for a luxury stay.
