I stayed on the 24th floor and was rewarded with an incredible view—actually, all the units seem to offer great views, so you won’t be disappointed no matter which room you get. The staff went above and beyond from check-in to check-out; they were friendly, efficient, and genuinely helpful. Any small issues I had were resolved within minutes by maintenance—usually less than 10 after calling, which is impressive. The only hiccup was figuring out parking before check-in. There’s no designated short-term parking area, so I lucked out finding a spot near the front door on Hornsby Street while I waited to check in. Once inside and with my key in hand, I discovered there’s ample secure parking directly under the building—no extra cost at all. Considering how expensive downtown Vancouver parking can be, this was a major plus. The location is perfect for shopping and exploring the city. I’d definitely return here in the future—it’s a standout choice.
