I chose this location becuase it was in downtown Vancouver. It's also convenient that there's a bar/restaurant adjacent to the hotel where the room is located. Getting an elevator key from the front desk was easy and the keyed door lock made it simple to come and go. However from the moment I walked in some things were an issue.
Initially I thought the room smelled of smoke, but I think it was just musty and perhaps a deep cleaning might help. The bathroom had no hand towels or wash cloths, and of the four towels there, two felt like burlap (I'm not exaggerating). There were two hotel-sized bottles of bath gel and two of shampoo. I know there is no standard for the kinds of amenities a host might provide, but this seemed insufficient. When I pulled aside the shower curtain, there was a small amount of water in the bottom of the tub. I assumed it was from being cleaned prior to my arrival.
There was no box of tissues, an oversight in my view. There is a mini-fridge and that's great, but there are no glasses (even plastic ones), not a bottle of water in sight. There was an empty jar that once held coffee? I really don't know, it merely looked dirty. As well, I saw a gummy looking bottle of honey and a few random packets of tea. But no cups in which to put said tea. And, though it wasn't terribly important to me either, the TV didn't work.
The bed was comfortable and the bedding was clean, while the room is quite small, it's attractive. As well there's safe to lock valuables, just like in a hotel.
But altogether I just never really felt completely comfortable in the room, so I'm afraid this review reflects my experience.
