From the moment we walked in we loved the place, we were treated very warmly by the woman at the front desk and offered water and snacks, we got to choose if we wanted 1st or 2nd floor, and we loved the layout of the hotel! The renovations are really nice and modern, I loved our view overlooking Vancouver and Burnaby, the noise wasn't too bad at all despite being so close to a major intersection, and it was very close to bus stops that are only a short ride away from the Expo and Millennium lines! They even let us borrow an umbrella at the front desk so we didn't have to buy one! When checking out, the man who helped us was just as nice and happy as the original woman who checked us in! Even topped up the snack basket for us. All the staff were happy and helpful the entire time. Also, I had the best sleep in YEARS in the bed there. Those pillows are the best I've used, I'd really love to get some for myself. We will definitely be using this hotel again on future trips! We were happy with the price as well, it felt like a good deal, especially compared to other hotels in Vancouver/Burnaby, and the great experience definitely made the price worth it! Thank you again :)
