Checking in was surprisingly easy, the key pickup worked really well. Staying downtown with an underground parking spot made all the difference. It's perfectly located in downtown, right in the middle. As we'd expected being an apartment in downtown Vancouver, it's a small space, but for a couple or a small family it's quite well suited. Downtown is bright and noisy at night, but that's what we expected. Blockout curtains could make a real improvement. We felt it was great value and would recommend it.
