An affordable, safe option in Vancouver. Close to train to easy access to the airport and city line. Once I got over my tech phobia it was easy to use the hotel. Pods very spacious and comfortable . Bathrooms clea. Kitchen amenities....didn't spot a fridge though. Recommend it.

Surprisingly nice! I was skeptical of the pod format, but the hotel was actually very cute and well run. Staff greeted me and walked me through the check in procedures despite that I arrived well outside their normal hours. The sleeping space was lovely, aside from having to navigate to it quietly. Bed was spacious and clean, with very a nice comforter and pillow.

It is helpful to plan for this facility rather than using it to address a booking emergency as I did. You’ll want at least a bottle of water in your luggage and you’ll want a muffin or something for the morning as this is a place to sleep, shower, and go. It is not a hotel room. Great staff, everything worked as intended, and lots of signage. The price is certainly right. I’m a creaky older fellow, and had some issues with lockers under the bed and such, but that is an observation for a small population.
