"No complaints at the Best Western" We stayed at the Best Western for 4 nights from Aug 6th. Having lived in Van in the 90's for one year I had good familiarity with the location. Vancouver is not that big a city that you can't cover most of it on foot but the English Bay area is best if you want easy access to some water and the park. You could stay over the other side looking at Grouse mountain but the 'character' is missing. Thoroughly recommend English Bay area. Doesn't feel like you are staying in a city. As for the Best Western it was fine. Room was clean, neat and spacious. Stayed on the 1st floor facing the street. Didn't have a meal there so can't comment. Would we stay there again or recommend to our friends - yes.

"Met All of Our Needs" This was our second trip to Vancouver, having previously stayed at a boutique hotel on Robson Street which was much more expensive. We felt that we got much better value on this trip by staying at the Best Western. The staff was friendly, the room was comfortable, and the location was ideal for touring the city on foot or by car (the free parking is an excellent reason to stay here). As an added perk, the hotel has four mountain bikes that guests can borrow at no cost for 2-hours at a time. We took them for a great ride through Stanley Park. We would certainly stay here again.

"Travelscope vacation" Spent 2 nights at this hotel as part of a 9 day tour with travelscope. The Manager was very freindly as were his staff. Although the hotel is on Drake st the road parallel is Granville and this is very Seedy with people sleeping in doorways and lots of porn shops (not pawn shops) avoid this area and the place is lovely. Gastown clock is worth seeing on the hour it plays a wonderful steam tune. We had a fantasic meal at the marina, head out of the hotel main doors turn right and follow road down to marina. Turn left at water and follow path for about 500yds you will come to False creek and the Provence Marinaside restaurant. I had the Seafood Linguine, better than any meal i had in italy last year and only 17 dollars Fabulous. YOU MUST DO the vancouver island trip if you do this tour. The first four hours and the last two hours of the Rocky mountaineer trip from Whistler to Jasper are fabulous and you are constanly fed and watered but take a book or some music for the rest of the trip.
