The room was alot larger than we were expecting and incredibly comfortable. The bathroom was beautiful, we loved the coffee, and complimentary breakfast was unexpected and appreciated. The history of this building provided by the person who checked us in was interesting to learn about. The art of the residents was also beautiful to see and learn about. We would definitely stay here again. Some will say it is in a bad area and homeless people etc... While it is true that sometimes homeless people are around we did not see any near the hotel during our stay, nor does it negate the convenience and comfort of the hotel itself. Visitors to Vancouver should be aware that yes there is a large homeless population but no it isn’t dangerous. If you want a 5star hotel with security who keep the streets outside the door clear for your grand entrance then go and seek that out. Thabk you to the hotel for a delightful overnight stayShow More

The person on site was not a hotel employee, but a security guard from an outside company. The hotel leaves a list of reservations and room numbers with the security guard so they don’t have to employ someone overnight. The security guard wasn’t given anything for my reservation, and he didn’t know what to do. He finally got someone from the hotel on the phone who told him what room to give us and where to find the key. We went to the room and the key didn’t work. The guard didn’t know how to fix, so he had to let us in the room personally and we never received a working key. The AC didn’t work in the room, and it was too hot to sleep in. I asked the guard for a different room, and he didn’t know which rooms were unoccupied, if any. He eventually got a hotel employee to answer the phone and assigned us a different room without a key, but at least the AC worked. I absolutely do not recommend. Show More

However, I found that the reality did not match the pictures I saw online. The gift shop only consisted of a few t-shirts and wall art for sale. While the hotel does house artists, it functions more like a cooperative than a dedicated program. I understand that the hotel has limited control over this, but I was shocked and taken aback by the concentration of the unhoused who were actively dealing and using near the hotel. They seemed harmless, but it was a troubling sight for those who weren’t accustomed to it. On a positive note, the room and accommodations themselves were nice, clean, and comfortable. Good in-room Coffee too! Show More

The security person was nice, but did not know a lot about the hotel. The room key had a wireless key that opened the front of hotel, but no one said anything about how to get into the room. I had to go down twice to get in the room. Also, it didn't help that someone wasn't there to explain everything. Not a great area and we had to find a parking lot to park our car which was around a homeless community. The building itself seemed safe, but the AC takes a little time to click on. Again, no one was there to offer us help. Show More
