Best Western Plus Sands

It was a bit noisy because of close by construction and the window AC was noisy when running but I also discovered as I was leaving and opened the curtains all the way that the window was open. If I had realized I would have closed it and at least the construction noise would have been reduced. It got down to the 40’s at night and it was never cold in my room.

Everything good. Only elevayors should be renewed. Icing machine too noisy and too close to the room. Low comfort rate just for this.

This hotel is situated in a lovely area of English Bay. The room we had was on the top floor and was clean and tidy. It had a balcony with a nice view of the sea but we were not able to use the balcony because of the pidgeon problem on the balcony and the mess the pidgeons leave. All of the staff we came into contact with were polite and professional. There are a number of places to eat in the area and all within walking distance. Downtown Vancouver is also in walking distance, it takes approximately 20 minutes to walk into town or there is a bus stop across the road from the hotel which would take you near downtown, we didn’t use the bus service but they seemed fairly frequent. I would recommend this hotel because it is in a nice area and it’s convenient for visiting a lot of what Vancouver has to offer.

For the cost I was less than impressed with the condition of the room as well as the size of the room. You could hardly close the bathroom door as you’re on top of the toilet to do so.

This is an ok hotel with lovely staff. It’s ina great location for the beach and the city but it is so noisy outside. The windows are useless. I’m not sure I’d stay here again on that basis because I really struggled to sleep.
