This was a nice little hotel on Grandville Island. Convenient for shopping on the island. Be srue to plan time to spend there. The market there is nice, cute shops, and good resturants. Central enough that driving to downtown, other touristy areas or the airport wasn't too far.

The hotel itself is a bit hard to find on the island. Once you find it and walk in, the inside is nice. It use to be a brewery so you see it as you walk toward your room. Kind of neat actually. The lobby is nice and clean with the rich dark red wood... The room itself is decent but nothing great. Furniture kind of dated and getting old. Same with the bathroom. We had a nice view from the balcony which has 2 chairs for you to sit on. Bed was comfortable enough.

Service was very good. We knew before arriving that we had to leave a day early and they were very understanding and helpful in helping us try to confirm our partial refund with www.hotel.ca and confirmed that it's ok with hotel policy. The manager was even willing to speak with them if necessarily and luckily so because they did want to speak to him to confirm it.

Didn't choose to eat breakfast there so not sure about that. Too many places on the isalnd to try. Overall a nice hotel but possibly overpriced considering the condition of the room was only ok. Pretty much paying for location. It was a nice little place and recommendable if you have the money to spend.

We asked for one night, but after having a fantasticevening and night in a splendid room we wanted to extend our stay with one extra night. This caused a lot of problems.. We had to leave the room, but they would probably find another room for us. This took ages, we had to return to the hotel a few times and at the end found out there was no room. After a long conversation we could get some sort of spare room. This was a strange room directly next to some sort of congress room.
The prices were ok, the first night splendid. Help at front desk not good en second night not so good. Overall average, what simpley could have been Excellent.

We last stayed here 4 years ago and really loved the location. It's near enough to the city yet has a different feel - probably because the Island is a working place, not just a tourist trap. The market itself is so interesting and the food is wonderful. It's also great to see the students at the Emily Carr Institute.

The hotel is really nice and the staff are friendly and helpful. We had to change our itinerary beforehand, so could only have a standard room for the first night and then a king suite for the following 2 nights. The standard room was very good, on the ground floor overlooking the patio area, and we would have happily stayed there if the king suite had been unavailable. However, we really wanted a room on the 2nd floor with a view over False creek, so changed on night 2.

Our only real disappontment was when we walked around Gastown, which really seems to have got shabby since our last visit. There are far more people begging and the whole area is in need of some upgrading. For old times sake, we even had lunch at the Old Spaghetti Factory, but the food wasn't very good, so we decided to give the city a miss and pootle around the Island instead .

Perhaps people in Canada just go to bed very early, I don't know, but you would think a hotel that caters almost exclusively for holiday makers would have come across people who liked to have a drink after a day's sightseeing.

I was part of a group of fifteen, all staying a minimum of five nights in this hotel - the hotel itself was fine, but their attitude to us when we requested a drink at 10.30pm (hardly the middle of the night) was not exactly welcoming - in fact one night it was suggested we go to another establishment on the island. They were happy enough to take a large amount of money from us for our accommodation and meal costs, but it was too much trouble to serve us one drink at half ten?

Now in case you think we were a group of lager louts, we were almost all women, with an average age of about 40 - we were unlikely to start wrecking the place or puking in the corridors. We wanted one or maybe two quiet drinks before bed and it was quite irritating to be made feel so unwelcome.

The rooms in the hotel were lovely. In general the staff were most accommodating, but to be made feel like some sort of rowdy alco for wanting a glass of wine at night was most unpleasant.
