Tropicana Suites on Robson

All the rooms in this hotel are one-bedroom suites that have a living room and kitchen complete with pots/pans, cutlery and a coffee maker. The bed was queen-size, and the sofa unfolded into a double bed, so for two people it was ideal. Room was extremely well-clean, which makes up for what travelers who are used to nicer-looking accommodations would call "shabbiness." I read other reviews before staying here, so I expected this. For the price and the location (Robson St., pretty safe I would say) this was a steal. Also front-desk staff were very friendly.

This hotel was rated as a 3 star hotel. I have traveled a lot and found this hotel to be horrible. This is the first time I have used orbitz to book and if they rate it as a 3 star I would hate to see what a 1 star wuld look like. Do not waste your money on this dump. As stated no air conditioner, ice machine and no washclothes. Towels were so threadbare you could see through them. Very noisy since you had to leave the windows open to keep cool.

Bad: The staff was very rude, I understand that we were a group of 3 teenagers, no ones favorite, but that does not mean we deserve to treated like we were. The room smelled like cigarette smoke in a non-smoking room, there were stains all over the floor. We were only given 2 towels and when we requested more, they said they were out and would drop them off when they were done being washed, they never came. When we left for dinner we heard another couple complain and the staff replied: Those arent blood stains, they're dark red ink." Checking out the next morning there was another group of people complaining about their allergies to the mold in their room, and the front desk basically said too bad and that they were full. Good: Located right on robson st for amazing shopping.
