The hotel was ideal for our group of 4 people, but being next to the elevators was a bit noisy. The service at the reception desk was incredibly friendly and professional. The location was very convenient for accessing the airport, car rental, and the Ferry to Vancouver Island. The dining options were a bit expensive and not clearly explained, but there were affordable food locations nearby. The facilities were satisfactory overall.

Rooms

The rooms were well-suited for accommodating 4 people, but being close to the kitchen venting fans outside was a downside due to the standing grease. The rooftop air unit provided good ventilation.

The hotel is conveniently located near major freeways and shopping in Richmond, making it easy to access various destinations. The rooms, while supposedly upgraded, were too small and showed signs of wear, yet they offered a quiet stay despite the pool nearby. The service was mixed, with friendly staff but limited authority for optimal customer service. The dining experience lacked communication about available facilities like the pool, affecting the overall enjoyment.

The price was way too expensive just to have a bed to sleep in before departing for an early morning flight. The rooms are decent; however, we were disappointed with the service after our vehicle was broken into. The hotel smelled and was not clean.

The hotel was very clean, and the bed was very comfortable. However, the rooms were not too spacious, and there were some maintenance issues like holes in the walls and a mirror in the washroom hanging half off. Having the pool operational would have enhanced the stay.

The hotel surprised me with its nice rooms but fell short on providing enough bedding for a comfortable stay. The service was exceptional, although some room amenities were not up to par. Its convenient location near the airport and local shops made up for the lack of nearby attractions. The dining options were varied, but some aspects were not adequately communicated. Overall, a decent choice for those seeking a practical stay.

My stay at the hotel was quite a mixed experience. The rooms, although small and squeezed around the back of the elevator, are under renovation and have the potential to be spacious, clean, comfortable, and well-appointed. However, the renovation process made the space feel cluttered, presenting a challenge for two people sharing the room.

Rooms

The room I stayed in was indeed small for two people, but the promise of spacious, clean, and comfortable accommodations after the renovation is encouraging.

Service

5.0

The service left much to be desired. Despite staff trying to convince me it was a renovation smell, it was off-putting. Additionally, one particular staff member was quite rude and not a good representation of the hotel's name.

The hotel had some positives like helpful and pleasant service but lacked some key aspects like instructions to prevent ambient noise disturbances in the rooms. The location was great for airport access but not ideal for exploring the city. The dining options were ok given the proximity to other food outlets.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of surprises and some minor inconveniences. The jacuzzi and bedroom loft were unexpected bonuses, but the lack of clear instructions for keeping the lights on disturbed my sleep. The faint smell of old cigarette fumes lingered, and the gym was a bit overcrowded due to ongoing renovations.

The hotel had all that we needed with clean rooms including a small fridge and a microwave, but the service was not helpful with restaurant suggestions and the location was next to an irritatingly loud access door to the pool/sauna. Despite this, it's a convenient stay close to the airport with free shuttle service.
