Sandman Suites on Davie - Vancouver

We stayed here for the first time, and will definitely return. We visit Vancouver yearly for the RSVP bike ride from Seattle and usually stay at the Coast Plaza since that is where the ride officially ends. I've had issues in the past with the staff there-long lines checking in, rooms not ready, curt counter attitudes, and so with the rate increase this year I decided to look around. Sandman came recommended and I am doing the same. I was greeted politely, room ready, no lines, beautiful - albeit smaller then Coast Plaza- suite with bay view, balcony, nice pool, no screaming kids, restaurant and lounge. We were seven blocks from the Coast and so did some hoofing back and forth for events, but the exercise was good.

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It was conveniently located. We walked almost everywhere. Our room had a nice kitchen and view.

My wife and I spent four nights at this hotel for our first visit to Vancouver. The hotel was terrific and located quite convenitently. The neighborhood was definately not what we were used to but that was okay. It was very international and clearly catered to people with alternative lifesyles. Something different!!!

Traveled to Vancouver and wanted to stay downtown near everything. It was the hockey playoffs and nearly everything was booked. Found the Sandman Suites on [...]and booked with themThe hotel is in a fairly decent location. Was given a room and found that the room was not quite what I expected. The suite was small and had a loveseat that took up the entire seating area in the living room. The double bed took up all of the bedroom leaving small areas on each side of the bed to walk by and about a six inch area in front of the bed to cross in front of the old TV and out to the living area. The living area had a small stove, refrigerator and utensils. The bed was soft and uncomfortable. The bathroom had a broken shower which was not fixed during our 4 day stay there - the water did not shut off and the mixing valve did not work, giving us cold to luke warm showers. The suite was made up late every day. The front desk staff was indifferent. A key card was needed to work the elevators and most of the time the cards did not work and we ended up at times locked in an elevator since you needed a key card to work to press the buttons. At times the key cards had to be rekeyed since they did not open the room or the elevator. The front desk staff was indifferent. Parking was underground but needed the key card which variably worked. Room service is from Moxies Restaurant and at times they did not have staff so you had to go down and get the food yourself. The food was poor with undercooked burgers that tasted off.

Located in downtown Vancouver, within walking distance to plenty of shopping and entertainment. Rooms offfered a full kithchen, seperate bedroom and balcony with good views. The space is a bit tight and the spare couch bed is too small for more than one person.

Clubs, late night food. Could use a 24 drug store. Comparable to my trips , which are always fun!

Very clean hotel. Very helpful and friendly staff.

Loved the hotel, rooms were great, clean, great for longer stays.

The Sandman is in a great location. The front desk service was friendly and helpful. Parking is extra, and with tax it amounts to about $26 night. The rooms are clean and the bed was comfortable. The shower didn't drain well, but otherwise the room seemed to be in decent working order. We liked the suite style. Overall, this is a good value for the price.

The room is large, with cooking facilities and washing machine. Good location. Many stores and restaurants nearby.
