Our company has been coming here for many years. Hotel has been slowly going downhill. Hotel staff has changed and not very nice, at least towards our company, which obtains room rate discounts. So, service = price you pay (or don't pay).
Rooms are in very desperate need of complete gutting. A couple of years ago they did something to "upgrade" the heating system and I've yet to see what has improved. Hard to heat the rooms which is mandatory in chilly Vancouver. End up supplementing the heat by cranking up the blow dryer and hanging if from a mirror aimed towards the room (a new entry for a survialist handbook?).
Bedding is the only redeeming quality; sheets are starched & pressed. Mattresses are another story; firm with a semi thick mattress pad making the bed a fluffy pillow top wannabe. Furniture is straight out of a Levitz Furniture bankruptcy liquidation outlet. Television is a throwback to the early 80's. Get with it folks!
24hr fitness center is on 11th floor. Pretty damn good actually. Aside from cardio equipment, free weights and weight machine, gym has a nice view and is accessorized with towels (some chilled!); apples and water to quench your thirst.
High speed internet for the low rent district rooms is over $12 USD.
To numb yourself from doing time at this place, have a pint (or three) at the enjoyable Elephant & Castle next door! Super nice staff and cool bar area. Try the awesome Fish 'n Chips. Food is good and many beers to choose from. Great view too from most tables.
Bus stop is right out front of the hotel, making it easy for a fast getaway. 25-30min ride to downtown area. Coins only so be prepared.
would not stay again

While the Hotel appears nice from the outside and the staff is extremly friendly, this hotel is a ripoff to the budget minded traveler. They charge $10 per day to park in their huge parking lot. They are near no restuarants, and no nearby parking, therefore not only are you stuck with pay parking, but their resturant prices are extremely high 5.25 for a bowl of cereal give me a break. $3.00 for 10 minutes of bad and slow public internet access. NO blankets on the beds, just one comfronter. This hotel is ideal for the business traveler with an unlimited expense account, or an airline employee. But if you are an individual traveler renting a car, or a family I would highly reccommend that you pass on this hotel. There are much better nearby options. Hotels near the same price, with breakfast included, or decent priced resturants nearby.
Quick stay near the airport

Room was too small and so was the bathroom. Only one bathrobe and we were two adults. Expensive hotel for what it offers. Regular rate is $360 for a room that's approx. 350 sq ft. Restaurant was closed and I got there at 6 p.m. The passway to the next door pub was dirty and looked abandoned. Good for a quick stay to be near the airport but will not stay there again.

I orginially wanted to stay in downtown Vancouver but everything seemed booked up. In the end I'm so happy we stayed at Delta Airport and took cabs or drove into the city. The service was amazing. The beds in the upgraded rooms are phenomenal. The pool was very fun (a hot tub would be lovel though). Elephant & Castle is great for outdoor eating and hanging out! My epxerience was all around wonderful!! Thank you!
