We enjoyed our stay here and appreciated the free underground parking that is included. The area as mentioned is a little further away from the city center but is a quick drive away. I would not exactly recommend walking into Gastown from here as the area does become a bit run-down a few streets away. If you are used to major cities, this won't be an issue for you but for those with families or those not used to the city, you may not like this. The unit is well equipped and quiet and provided what we needed. If you are looking for a more budget friendly option in the city and have a car, I recommend this place. We enjoyed our stay and were very comfortable. Thank you!
