Phil, Vancouver, BC, Canada

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Receptionist was friendly when we arrived. Room was reasonably clean, but small with old furnitures and needing a renovation. No outlets available unless unplugging the TV/Cable. Small washroom has no towel hangers and no soap/shampoo support in the shower. Restaurant food was good, but service totally inefficient. We've been waiting 20 minutes to ask for a coffee/desert, while the waitress was chatting in the kitchen... She brought the coffee and didn't even remove our plates... For the price paid, this hotel is FAR below expectations. Not recommended unless you have no other better options.
