Vancouver is expensive to begin with. Comparatively, this was one of the cheaper options available that was close to transit. there is no air conditioning in the room, and only one small window, so in the summer it will get stuffy. I'm use to sleeping with no AC, so the fan was ok for me. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Kitchen access was great to have. There are restaurants on Cambie. We ate twice at Viet House, which is open until 2am! and the food was good, if you like Vietnamese. Safeway is very close, if you want to buy groceries.
