This is such a quaint old hotel. When I arrived I was given and upgrade which was so amazing. I had full windows with a beautiful view of English Bay to wake up to and windows that open for fresh air. Very close to Stanley Park and lots of amenities and bus route friendly in a neighborhood setting. This is not modern if that’s your thing. This is charming character. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back!!!
