Fawn Lake

Great location. Excellent bars and restaurants in vacinity and particularly good getting to the airport as the Metro is literally over the road. Staff were excellent. They were particularly helpful allowing me to have a later checkout which meant that I could shower after my last morning in Vancouver before leaving for the airport.

Seems like it would have been a nice place when it first opened, but there were a ton of issues with the room. Doors that don’t close properly, missing cupboard handles, duct tape on the floor, shoddy construction work all around which is really starting to show. The coffee was also a major disappointment. They have good beans on offer from a local roaster, but the supplies to make the coffee (coffee maker and pour-over set) aren’t up to the task. The coffee maker especially was nearly impossible to figure out and constantly came out watery and bitter. On the plus side, communication with the staff was alright, in-suite laundry was a nice touch, and the gym was well equipped enough for a short stay. I would recommend staying somewhere else in the area given the price.
