My best friend's husband booked us a girls' trip to this hotel with his travel points, and we really lucked out. This is an incredibly clean hotel in a safe area of Vancouver. Conventionally located to most major tourist attractions, it made navigating the city less stressful.
We had a room with two queen beds and a nice partial view of the hockey stadium and apartments. I absolutely appreciated how quiet, clean, and spacious our room was. There was a nice Yeti cooler that we could take out and borrow from the hotel for outings, and the hotel also provided us with nice bath slippers and robes.
The bathroom was very spacious, and the hotel provides Aesop's shampoo, conditioner, body wash, handwashing soap, and lotion. It was a really nice addition to our stay, but to be honest, the first time I had heard of the brand.
3/5 for service for the front staff of the hotel, which left a lot to be desired though for something that I felt was quite a simple request. My friend had called the hotel to ask if we could have a late check out. The staff member told us to call the morning of check out to check with them if they could allow a late check out. The next morning when my friend did call, a staff member told her that she could not utilize late check-out because she was not an elite member, and her husband needed to be present for them to even consider this. I thought this was unprofessional, since my friend's husband was the one who had booked this for his wife and friends, and we would have understood if the room was already booked for new guests. But here we are.
Parking on site is $50CAD a day, or $55CAD a day for valet. It just made sense for us to use valet in this case. Which brings me to my review on the valet team at this hotel. (The hotels are all connected though. There's Douglas, Parq, and JW Marriot)
10/10 for the valet team though! I would like to reserve the highest compliments for the valet parking team we worked with when we were here for our stay. The first night we arrived at the hotel from our flight, it was quite late, or early at almost 1:30am, Fabrice was super helpful and friendly making sure we were squared away and taken care of. Then during our ins and outs, Shahab really demonstrated top-tier customer service, from helping us with our luggage, to ensuring our car was ready to go in such an efficient manner. He was incredibly kind and welcoming, and I hope the hotel recognizes stellar employees. The valet team, at least the individuals we encountered, really deserve all the recognition and a raise for their work ethics, patience, and warm hospitality.
