We were in the feather room, which requires you to climb a flight of stairs once you are in room—which was kind of a pain. Hotel room and bath were clean and comfortable. Continental breakfast was fine. Neighborhood is a bit iffy, but only a block from Chinatown and Gastown. Easy walk to cruise terminal and Canada Place. Good value for the money.
Rooftop patio is a must visit!

Very cute hotel. Reception staff was very quick in checking us in and recommended a nice Mexican restaurant. Downfall was the stairs that we had to drag our heavy luggage up to our room. Once we got settled the room was clean, unique and very comfortable. There are a lot of homeless people in the area but the hotel is very safe

I loved this hotel. It was a real surprise, given some of the things we had seen on the way to it. Part indigenous art gallery, part hotel, withe a philosophy that supports the first nations population. We were welcomed by Scarlet, who toĺd us about the hotel and some popular restaurants. Our room was on the top floor and was attractively decorated with indigenous art, and was comfortably furnished. The en-suite was supplied with some pleasant herbal toiletries. We hadn't expected breakfast, but the hotel provided a light buffet anyway. We took the advice of our host and went to "The Old Spaghetti Factory" for dinner and had a great time. One piece of advice for unsuspecting travellers I wold give is; When leaving the hotel, don't turn left towards Main St. Turn right, then right down Abbot St. This will take you to Gastown, which is a lot nicer experience.
