Budget accommodation; perfect for short stay
4*
To go sightseeing around Vancouver for a few days we booked this hotel/motel which is located in North Vancouver across the Lions Gate Bridge. Location-wise it is fine; we used public transport to get to and from central Vancouver and the buses were very frequent (and there are a couple of bus stops located right by the hotel) and not very costly (note: it is worth getting the Compass Card as fares are cheaper (bus was always $2.40 as of our visit at the beginning of March 2020) and it's fully refundable). Also in the vicinity of the hotel is a Denny's which we ate at, and a few supermarkets a couple of stops eastward.
We arrived to check in early and despite being there before check in time, the staff were very friendly and thankfully our room was already ready so we checked straight in after paying a security deposit via debit card (refunded upon check out). I had asked for a room with a microwave and fridge as I had seen through Trip Advisor that these are limited and you should request in advance, unfortunately our room did not have a microwave, however it did have a fridge. There is a microwave in the lobby that they are more than happy for you to use, however it is annoying walking from your room and back with meals, especially as the walk was partly outside and snowing when we were there! Other than a lack of a microwave, our room had all the basic necessities and was cleaned well on a daily basis; the room was nothing special and a bit outdated but it was adequate. When we stayed it was quiet and the beds were okay so sleeping wasn't a problem (again we requested a quiet room).
Check out was fine and took no time at all, and we were able to store our luggage for free for a short while as our transport didn't depart until the afternoon. If I was on a budget and returning to Vancouver then I would probably stay here again, but not for more than maybe 4-5 nights at max.
