Pan Pacific Vancouver

8/10 Good
"We appreciated the nice view, the friendly and helpful staff, and the convenient location for sightseeing and cruises m. My only criticism is that for a hotel as expensive as this one, I expected luxurious accommodations. What I got was a room with peeling wallpaper, a gouge in the wall, and a layout that shoved the king size bed within a foot of the wall, rendering it very difficult to maneuver to that side of the bed. We did find the bed reasonably comfortable but furnishings seemed a bit out of date for a top of the line hotel. Overall good stay."
