Real close to Vancouver General Hospital which might be a bonus if you are in poor health. Located on a busy major artery. Its close to Joyce Skytrain Station. Shopping within walking distance. The area it is in is quite seedy, but not particularly dangerous.
Prostitutes ply their trade just a block away.
It is about a 15 minute walk to the downtown core. In the other direction, it is about a 15 minute walk to the new upscale False Creek Area with its seawall and ferries over to Granville Island. West End beaches are within walking distance. The Hotel looks clean, but I have had negative feedback about this hotel. Located on a busy major artery.
