Employees are very friendly and helpful. They are very knowledgeable about the area and provide great recommendations. The breakfast is standard HIE fare with a few additions like congee and a very nice selection of fresh fruit and relish tray. The outdoor pool is very nice! There is a Starbucks on one side and a Tim Horton's on the other. Plenty of caffeine nearby for those of us who need to remain caffeinated. Shopping is connected by a skywalk, super convenient.

The staff is stellar and we have only encountered very accommodating and friendly people so far. The drawback for this location is the noise factor, it's facing the train and even rooms in the back have constant train noise. They do provide complimentary earplugs, which is a great idea and more Hotels should really do. We are definitely going to book again if we plan on coming up, it's a good value for the amenities and area.

Quite enjoyable. I've been advised that cyclists aren't allowed on the trail however dogs on leashes and horses are. (We didn't see any horses today although there was at least one pile of horse manure and a few horseshoe prints on some of the trails). Some notices posted on bears being in the area though. I will definitely be back. Today we walked the 10.6km in 1 hour 41 minutes.

Great location ~ within close walking distance to a couple shopping malls, grocery store across the street, a couple nice Italian and ramen restaurants with a couple blocks.

The pool and sauna was clean and fun to unwind in the water for this winter stay.

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!

I was really impressed by this Hilton. The lobby and parking garage was super clean. The rooms were…read morevery spacious and comfortable. The housekeeping staff were super friendly. If I had any complaint, the couple of times I talked to the front desk, I found them hard to talk to due to a language barrier. For instance, I let them know their EV charger was no longer working. The guy I spoke to couldn't comprehend I was merely just letting them know, instead he thought I wanted someone to do something about it right away. He oddly disappeared and I never saw him again. It was just awkward. This Hilton is great though. Great rooms, great location, clean, and close to everything.

So, imagine my surprise when I was asked to visit the local office at the WeWork building in nearby Station Square, Burnaby! Say what? WeWork (yep, the same company that's been in news for mostly the wrong reasons for quite some time) provides workspace and co-working solutions that are used by companies, big and small. I'd read a lot about their offerings, but had never been to any WeWork office till I entered the premises of the one in Burnaby. So, I was quite amazed at how neat the entire setup was. Located higher up in the same building that houses famous restaurants like Cactus Club Cafe and Earls Kitchen + Bar, WeWork Office Space & Coworking is right next to Metropolis at Metrotown. Talk about prime real estate! There are ample parking spots in the structure just a few steps away from the office entrances, so that's one big monkey off your back if you're driving to work here! The reception area is pretty, colorful and spacious, and the staff that greeted me on arrival were cheerful and friendly. The place has quite a few office spaces, conference rooms, phone booths, a well-stocked kitchen, a wellness room, free coffee and what not. There are ample touch-free sanitizer dispensers, and it is apparent that lots of effort goes in for keeping the entire space spic and span. Happy that I got to check out this cool place on the pretext of getting my laptop fixed. The only downside for me is possibly having to lose the option of working from home when the pandemic situation gets better because there's an office location in the city. Sighs. But, hey, at least the commute won't be that bad because the place is right next door, plus (and that's a big plus!) there's free parking! Hoping I won't have to go back there anytime soon though

We received the last few passes to attend the class and rushed upstairs to attend. Our instructor waited a few minutes for everyone to get settled before beginning the class and just like that we were off. As one song became another and the sweat started flowing it was apparent that our instructor really enjoyed the music and leading the class. It certainly didn't come naturally to me but in this case I think it's all about the rhythm, enjoyment and exercise. I would absolutely return for another class here. Nice facilities and welcoming to all.
