It is right next to a Skytrain station which is very convenient to get downtown Vancouver and other areas. There is some noise from the train but though it was ok for me I might bring ear plugs next time. If you are noise sensitive then you may want a room at the front. Hotel price was very reasonable considering other hotels downtown at the time of year (mid-September)

What you're paying for is convenience. The location is fairly close to most attractions (I.E. Stanley Park or Granville Island) which makes travelling to those places easier. There is plenty of access to public transportation like the Skytrain or buses. However, if you get a rear facing room prepare for the bright lights of the skytrain station directly behind the building to illuminate your room at all hours of the night. Also, the beds are not the most comfortable either. The room as a whole was fairly average.

Great staff. Noisy on the street side but that’s the price you pay for a pretty water view. No shower caps in the bathroom- that would be a big plus. Nice and helpful staff.
