“Nice Option”

Residence Inn Vancouver Downtown

4 of 5 stars
Marietta, Georgia
Aug 11, 2008

This is a well maintained downtown property close to Yaletown. So, restaurant and nightlife options are just blocks away. The hotel protects the safety of their guest by requiring you to swipe your room key to gain access to the room levels on the elevator.

BC Place is a reasonable walk from the hotel. (Which we did for a BC Lions game). It is a short walk down Hornby St. to the water taxi for Granville Island.

The property has located on the 2nd floor their large terrace area with tables and chairs. This is all adjacent to the exercise facilities, indoor pool and hot tub.

We reserved a studio suite. The room was large and comfortable with adequate storage. The bathroom was a nice size. The kitchen was equipped with a mini refrigerator, small dishwasher, microwave and stove top. A gas grill was available on the terrace.

We were on the 19th floor with a balcony and views of the harbor. Street noise was not an issue. The hotel will allow you to remain parked in their secure underground parking until 6 PM on the day you check out (a nice perk).

“Loved the Residence Inn!”

Residence Inn Vancouver Downtown

5 of 5 stars
Los Angeles, California
Jul 17, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

Pros:
+Clean rooms equipped with a small kitchenette, coffeemaker & refrigerator (always a must in our family!)
+Beds with fluffy pillows were truly comfortable.
+Walking distance to Robson St. (shopping, shopping!!!)
+Breakfast buffet was fabulous and plentiful!
+Pool was enjoyed immensely by our teens
+Thai restaurant nearby served good food
+7-11 convenience store across the street (perfect for buying afternoon snacks especially when you've got teens)

Cons:
-Parking price steep
-Construction behind hotel. Seems like there's major construction everywhere in downtown Vancouver.
-Pool somewhat crowded

Otherwise, would come back and stay here again.

“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.

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!
