Lovely facilities, near quality beaches,...
Liked: Vancouver hotels are expensive. Super expensive. This place is a relative bargain compared to what other hotels charge, but it's still expensive in terms of what you get in Europe. That said, it was a nice base for me for my week. The room was clean, the bed comfortable, the room was quiet, and the blackout blinds were decent.The campus of University of British Columbia was lovely. There are lots of trees, and it's conveniently located near several attractions, including museums, a botanical garden, and the rose garden. Additionally, there are a couple of lovely beaches nearby.
Disliked: The only real negative was how far the place was from the centre of town. It was far enough that I had to really pack for the entire day, rather than using the hotel as a base and coming/going as required. There's a bus, which takes 45 minutes. Ubers are 20 minutes and about £20 each way. However, I got 'stuck' in town one night when Uber drivers kept on cancelling after accepting my ride - presumably because they didn't want to head to UBC at that time of night.One minor thing, which might have been due to my struggle with Americanisms, was that I couldn't find a supermarket near the location. Hence, the kitchenette was pointless, as I had nothing to cook in it. I couldn't find any in-room information with that kind of information, but maybe I was just too jetlagged.

Superb
Liked: The room seemed recently renovated and was very clean. The beds were extremely comfortable, and the bathroom was modern and well-maintained.
Disliked: Our room was located on the ground floor, and unfortunately, the area in front of our window was densely covered with plants. As a result, there was very little natural daylight in the room. It would have been helpful if this had been mentioned during check-in. It’s not a pleasant surprise to wake up the next morning and realize you have to turn on the lights because the room is so dark.
