This room has basic needs for those that wish to have a place to sleep and shower between daily activities. The room was clean and getting good sleep wasn't a problem. There are nearby markets. I recommend going to Fujiya if you are into Japanese market food. There are restaurants and pubs you can walk to. It has quick and easy access to bus routes that will take you into downtown or other places around Vancouver (I would suggest avoiding the E Hastings bus at night if you are not comfortable with stopping for passengers on skid row. There were events one night on the bus that forced us to look for an alternate bus route).
