Ramada Vancouver Downtown

The price was fair. The hallway and room smelled like musk or mold. The bar next to the hotel is a good spot. We stayed there during the week, but apparently during the weekend Granville St turns into a great night life spot, since they close off the street to cars. We missed out on that. During the week there were alot of bums outside. I was not too impressed. We would have preferred to stay in the "Gas Town Section" of the city. Overall: Not bad, but we would have selected a different part of the city if we could do it over.

WASN'T IN THE ROOM MUCH WAS OUT IN THE CITY

I was in Vancouver for three days and needed a place from which I could take a bus anywhere. This was it and it was very convenient. Staff was nice, rooms are clean if a bit small. The hotel is nothing special really but if you're looking for a comfortable, convenient place to sleep and keep your belongings then this will suffice. Don't expect to be hanging out at the hotel and having the time of your life; it just isn't that kind of place. But why be in Vancouver if you just want to stay at a hotel pool?

We stayed for a single night after an Alaska cruise. The hotel was just fine, though not fancy; the couple with us had a very small room. The staff was helpful. The location is not great (there were several tattoo parlors on the street and a few people on the street who appeared to be vagrants), but we didn't feel unsafe. Because one of our group has trouble walking and we had had a tiring day, the Subway a few doors down was a welcome and familiar place to eat. The hotel staff called a taxi to the airport for us very early in the morning, and the taxi arrived within a couple of minutes.

Nice hotel, small but quiet room, parking was extra, about three blocks from the job location. Good price and location.

Hotel visit 9/17/09 - 9/21/09 The cut dry truth is the price for the location was ok, I might have gotten a better deal if I looked around more, but the close proximity to everything was great!!! The front desk and housekeepers were very nice, especially the front desk! I came early hoping that I could get an early check-in, from a long flight in, and was fortunately accommodated. The first room I was given was rm# 116, SCARY location! I (female) was traveling alone for this short trip and this particular room location was so eerie and located in the very back of the hotel with a room view of a unsightly alley, lets just say I did not feel safe; not to mention, would not be able to be heard if anything were to happen (other than the access to elevator required hotel key, did not notice any other security measures ie. no security cameras). I guess a good location for a bunch of single friends that want to make lots of noise and want to be away from everything. The room was also much smaller. Anyways, I called down to the front desk and spoke with an extremely understanding and customer oriented person, Tania, explained my concerns and she promptly checked if there was another available room. Thank God, there was rm# 102 available, much bigger, close to elevator, and front of hotel. It had a great view of the downtown strip and was much larger; this made me feel like the price was much more worth it from the benefits I listed versus my first assigned room. I don't mind noise much, but if you do be mindful of this because below the hotel and across was a couple clubs and a few bars, so the noise level was loud enough to keep the average person up. Great though if you are going with friends to do those type of activities. Unfortunately, that was not my intention for this trip. The renovations consisted of newer looking furniture (bedding etc.) and bathroom was updated. The room needed a good carpet cleaning and just an overall freshening up...besides that was cleaner than most hotels in this star rating. That being said, if you need to have a hotel close to attractions and walking distance to everything, including the Granville Street Bridge (you can see the bridge from the front door of the hotel and is close enough, so that you can enjoy a walk over the bridge...a must do) and Granville Island (beautiful) then for the price it was worth it, with the room I had. Hope this helps, can't wait to visit Vancouver again, it is a beautiful city, very romantic - wished my husband was with!!!

so much nicer welcome by check-in staff. quite knowledgable and helpful. gave us early chk-in because room was ready. very comfy room with a nice heater because we were cold. so glad we changed from howard johnson across the street to ramada

Although small...the room was very clean, the beds sooo comfortable, and a hop and a skip away to Robson.

Clean, comfortable, and excellent price for the location.

Location wasn't bad but the smell of the hotel was horrible.
