Perfect location with lots of restaraunts around it including an attached Original Joes. Staff were very efficient, friendly and professional. Big lobby. Easy, short walk (5 min) to BC Place and Rogers Arena. Lots of shopping in the area. Easy short walk to Yale town restaraunts on the waterfront. The beds were very comfortable-even the fold out though that mattress made noise each time I turned over. Big windows in bedroom area but no view from this unit and the kitchenette -though adequate, is a small sitting room/eating. Big TV in sitting room and one in the bedroom. I would definitely purely stay here again if the price feels right.

Modern apartment with everything you need. We were only staying one night so didn’t take advantage of the kitchen, but for a longer stay it would be perfect. Everything was very clean, the shower had excellent temperature and pressure, the beds and linens were comfortable. We had our dog with us and he was very pleased with the treats and his bed. Robes were an unexpected bonus. Parking garage was easily accessible, secure and clean. Check in instructions were clear and communication was timely and professional. Would definitely book again!
