Our room. I'm pretty sure it's the Queen Quay. That bed is COMFY!
Inna B.

What a wonderful place to get away from the same-old for the weekend! I was unsure of where to stay and let Priceline do the picking for me. I ended up with a Queen Quay room here, and I'm oh so glad I did. The room was cute, the bed super comfortable/soft, the view of Fraser River from the window/balcony absolutely fantastic, the snacks super tempting, the Canadian television on the nice-sized flat screen tv entertaining, and the sauna quite nice. The walls were thin enough that we could hear one set of loud people in the hallway, but for the most part it was a very quiet time with no outside sounds. I really enjoyed the sauna and the whirlpool tub in the fitness area was nice, but sadly not quite as hot as I wished it would be. I did use it at 4am (it's open 24h) so it's likely that it just didn't get a chance to heat up as much as I wanted it to. Thankfully the sauna heated up quickly, so I was able to enjoy some serious heat after relaxing in the warm tub. I love that they have free wi-fi for guests because it was SUPER useful for iPhone Yelp/Facebook/web browsing during my stay. You need to log in to use it, so make sure to get a username/password when checking in to the hotel. (They will probably offer it to you, but there's a good chance they don't remember to ask every guest.) A nice bonus for people with iPods: The alarm clock has a dock for your iPod, so you can easily listen to your tunes on some speakers. Parking (24 hours) is free for hybrid cars, $6+tax for other cars. I'm glad they decided to update this hotel and make it nicer than it originally was. It looks good now, but there are little things that make it pretty obvious that it wasn't quite as... stylish... in the past. I would definitely stay here again!!

Stayed here for two nights back in Feb 2012. First when we arrived, the lady in the front lobby didn't welcome us; she seemed very tired or unhappy. Well, everyone has their bad days so it didn't bother me too much. The room was very nice and comfy; got a nice view from outside the window; I gave 3 stars just for the room itself. I was able to see the ocean and some night club down the street. There was a wine shop next to the hotel but my fiance and I wanted some whiskey; we had to drive around the neighborhood but didn't find any. They did provide us free wifi, but it was slow to the point where we just gave up. We stopped by their restaurant and bar, no one greeted us; we had to grab the manual to see ourselves. They didn't have too many whiskey choices and sort of overpriced. Hence, we went to the bar right across street. If I would have more options, I wouldn't come back here.

We arrived at the hotel very late at night (1am) and the check-in was nice and easy, no fuss, just facts - checking of the reservation (booked through Expedia), keys to the room and good night (I prefer that to bothering the customer with thousands of questions, when they clearly just want to go to bed). We stayed for three nights (technically two whole nights, since we arrived in the middle of the first night and left in the middle of the third). Our room was on the sixth floor (and, as I discovered later, turned away from the "noisy" Paddlewheeler pub and the River Market, that some of the reviewers mention), but still had a balcony with a view of Fraser River. This is the West side of the hotel, but I think the view from the balcony (on any of the higher floors) is more or less the same. The room is spacious and decently furnished. We had a queen bed, with a sofa chair and a desk with an office chair. If you have some work to do, or just use your computer, this is quite useful (there's also plenty of sockets to charge your devices). There's also a TV in the room (had no need to use it) and a fridge underneath it. There's enough lights to keep the room bright and also an AC by the balcony door (turn it off during the night, otherwise you'll freeze even on the lowest setting). As you walk in, there's a bathroom on your left (in our case) with a huge bathtub and a wall mirror. They offer you a ton of towels, bathrobes, a dryer and some shampoos and creams. There's also a coffee machine, some coffee and tea with cups at the ready for you. No idea how much they charge for it since we didn't use any. The only problem that we encountered were some really noisy guests on our floor. Obviously there were more of them, but in different rooms and they had the need to yell out loud from one side of the hallway to the other. In the middle of the night. But that was it. All in all this hotel is nothing special, nothing to rave about, but okay to spend the night if you're out most of the day (city centre is 30min away with Sky Train and you're 30min away from the airport with a taxi ($55) - Sky Train takes about an hour and a half since you have to change trains). The price is a bit steep for the value though, breakfast or any other meals are extra (not included in the price, as you might be used in the US).

My husband I booked this hotel pretty last minute on the Hotel Tonight app. If it wasn't for the discount we got on that app, I don't think we would have picked the place because normally I think it's too pricy for what you get. It was a pleasant stay though. No fuss, check-in and check-out went very smoothly. The room was nice (wouldn't say it's luxurious but better than a standard hotel room) and everything worked. Bed was super comfortable and we got a nice view of the river. I liked how they provided bath robes (always a nice touch). There was also a personalized note welcoming us with a free snack. The sky train is walking distance from the hotel but takes about 30 minutes or so to get to downtown Vancouver. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

The lady at the front desk was very friendly. Our room was easy to find, but the parking lot is TIGHT. Be cautious if you have a larger vehicle. One thing that really irritated me - they advertise as pet friendly, and when I called to book, I specified that we needed a pet friendly room and was happy to pay the pet fee. When we arrived, we found that all the grass on the property had been ripped out - maybe they're updating it or something, I don't know. but they really should mention that. It was a real pain finding somewhere for my dog to do it's business - our options were a) in the parking lot or b) in the dirt. I just wish they had mentioned that there was no green space available. Oddly enough, the BEST part of our stay doesn't even exist according to their website. In the FAQs for the hotel it says that there is NOT a pool onsite, but there is. It is an outdoor heated pool and it was INCREDIBLE. The water was so warm, it was really lovely to float around in for a bit before bed.

And at the Element Vancouver, that is what we got. "Welcome you two to the Element Vancouver", no haggling over small details. We found our way to our room quickly, and soon appreciated the Element's proximity to Burnaby's many restaurants. You do realize that you are effectively in a major city, with ambulances carousing down Kingsway seemingly at all hours, and the elevators seemed to take forever to 'latch on' to their destination floors, but overall the experience was a positive one. Front desk staff friendly and able to provide with extra supplies. Free breakfast had plenty of fixings, and we had a friendly lady named Crystal give us some of the details of the building during one happy hour. The pool was nice, if a bit overrun by the hockey crowd on the Saturday we were there. Otherwise there were plenty of resources, and the washing and drying machines kept us from having to do laundry on our trip back to San Francisco. Well done, Element Vancouver!

So finding this hotel and paying $142 for a night was the only option that we have . We thought we would stay there for two nights until we leave . But as soon as we went in to see the room, it was very old, outdated and stinky room they gave us. It was midnight when we arrived so we had no choice but staying there for one night as what we paid for. We informed the girl at front desk that we will only stay for one night due to the problem. The Indian girl was showing bad attitudes with us and kept saying that they we have to stay two nights or they will charge another night using the $200 pre-authorization that they held as deposit. In the end, they still double charged us for the service that we did not use. With the attitude and poor facility, we did not reserve to double charge almost $300 for an old and stinky motel near Vancouver . We witnessed other customer were having some issues with that front desk girl as well. NEVER come back here , and thanks God I got out of this hotel !!!!!

The lift, and I call it a lift because its not a modern elevator is a bit frightening. If the previous user doesn't close the elevator properly then you'll never be able to call that elevator to your floor. We needed a place to stay due while our place was being restored due to a fire and grateful for the hosts friendliness and essentric manner this place is not for you if you want a restful nights sleep. I'm a heavy sleeper and the commuter Skytrain who's charging by ever few minutes from about 530am to past midnight allowed me a bare few hours sleep in the comfortable bed. Arundel Manor is basic and has all the amenities one needs for a short stay. Built around 1912, this is not a sound proof building. The wifi is spotty, I would suggest a unit closer to the router, We were on the top floor so it was difficult to remain connected for long period of time. You can open the kitchen window light shaft to allow wifi to trickle in your unit but we had our pets with us and adraid they may sneak out to their demise. Our hosts even contacted their internet provider who said they gave them faster Internet but its made no difference to us in speed or being dropped. Another Yelper referred this place as a B&B, it's most definately not a B&B today.The elevator is often used as a storage locker. So it was quite fit that on the last week (when we gave the owner/manager notice, she wanted 1 weeks notice after we continually advised the wifi didn't work and the gas leak in our unit made our unit non functional) that we found mouse droppings in our kitchen cutlery drawer. At the time I stayed there the rate was $120/night or $490/week or $1600/month PLUS 12% HST. In comparison, the Courtyard Marriott Downtown was $123/night including full hot breakfast. So if you don't mind the noise and nuances of a very old building, and an owner that is only intersted in getting you checked in and taking your money and not following up with issues, this is the place for you.

We had booked a house that was a bit away, but after the charming British couple arrived to sort out how Priceline could have billed us without a room available, they offered us accommodation at this hotel. It was a bit of a surprise as one of them actually drove us from the rental house to the hotel. This hotel is not something that you'd expect. While it's clean, it's not a modern building, the furniture and many of the fixtures are vintage to 1912. Clawfoot bathtubs have been patched, single-paned windows have painted-over locking mechanisms and no screens, no air conditioning to let you close the windows against the sounds of the freight trains nearby or the Sky Train that is literally next to the building. Water pressure and temperature varies, the elevator is an ancient thing with manual operating doors that don't automatically open or close (therefore if the previous user doesn't take care to close them, the elevator stays at the last floor indefinitely, and the elevator can arrive at your floor but be summoned away before you get a chance to open the door). However, if you want to be in an incredibly convenient location in a true hotel suite (living/dining room, separate large bedroom with king-sized bed, full kitchen with a full complement of cookware, and a cabinet in the dining area with a full tea set - did I mention the owners were English?) this is an amazing find. It is literally a block from the Sky Train station, shopping (including grocery stores) and restaurants are all around, as well as the river front boardwalk to explore.
