Spent 6 wonderful nights at this chic boutique hotel! After a long day and short flight, I was so…read moreglad my bed was comfortable and the room was surprisingly quiet despite its proximity to YVR. From staff at checkin to housekeeping staff, everyone was very friendly and helpful. While the lobby is very small and unassuming, their rooms are not very big, but they have plenty of character and everything you need. Our housekeeping lady knew our schedule and was so helpful and mindful of when we would go out. She saw that we had 2 small kids in our room and left an extra carafe of water with an extra glass. This was such an awesome touch. pros: Proximity to YVR Lots of good Asian food and stores nearby Shuttle to YVR Complementary valet service Small gym but they have a full set of dumbbells, a few kettlebells, a cable machine, 2 Peloton bikes, a couple of treadmills, 2 benches, a workout mirror, jump ropes, foam rollers, weights balls, and mats. I have seen smaller gyms at bigger hotels and "gyms" that had nothing but mats and a few miscellaneous items. Rooftop pool and jacuzzi that is not crowded Quiet rooms- the only morning my sleep was interrupted was on Monday at 8:20 ish during delivery of items. Otherwise, I never heard my neighbors, planes, nor elevator noise. 2 fluffy robes and 2 slippers in rooms. The Red Flower toiletries were great and smelled wonderful! The bath salts and soaking tub was so relaxing Cold towels in gym cons: I prefer self parking since we come and go several times a day but we just opted to park in the private lot attached to the building and paid their daily fees No ice machine but staff will bring you some upon request The pool area was very clean and everyone was respectful of picking up after themselves. We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed the nice touches that only boutique hotels offer.

I have now stayed at all of the Holiday Inn properties in Richmond and have to say this hotel is…read morethe best of the three. Stayed at this Holiday Inn Express on an overnight trip with my family to Richmond and Vancouver. It is located within the Riverport entertainment complex in Richmond, which is away from the main part of Richmond. The hotel is relatively small as there are only a few floors. Check-in was slow as there was one person at the front desk and a somewhat long line. Once checked in, I was able to park in the lot behind the hotel. Unlike the other Holiday Inn locations, parking is free here. We stayed in a comfy double bedded room, which had a mini fridge and microwave inside the room. There is a free daily hotel breakfast available downstairs and the selection was better than expected. Offerings include pancakes, eggs, sausage, baked beans, cinnamon rolls and rice. The hotel also has recreational facilities as there is a pool, fitness centre and a fenced basketball court outside. I really like this location as it feels quiet and secluded. You do not hear much street traffic in this area at night, which is a huge plus. It is preferable to have a car as there are not a lot of restaurants nearby. However, taking public transportation is doable as there are nearby bus stops along Steveston Highway. I would consider staying at this hotel again if I am doing another overnight trip up to Richmond and Vancouver due to room comfort and its amenities.

I would give it overall five stars for execution and customer service, they are really nice. Had a good night's sleep, about on par with a good Hostel. I'm docking it one star for the showers, I'd rate them three star, they are good but I would recommend that they have individual changing rooms like you have at many hostels and RV parks, Location is great, almost a cultural experience, with lots of good restaurants and even a huge shopping mall across the street. Vancouver's metro is a couple blocks away so you can get downtown quickly and easily. Staff was great, I'd recommend it if you want to experience minimalism, they do it well. I liked it and I stayed an extra night.

We came in expecting a drink and ended up having one of the best bar experiences we've had in a…read morelong time, all thanks to Joshua. Joshua is hands down one of the best bartenders I've ever met. From the moment we sat down he made the whole bar feel welcoming, fun, and relaxed. He's incredibly personable, easy to talk to, and somehow manages to keep great conversation going while still running the bar like a pro. What really stood out is that he genuinely seems to care that everyone is having a good time. The drinks were excellent, the service was spot-on, and the whole experience felt effortless because he's so good at what he does. You can tell when someone just works behind a bar and when someone truly creates an experience. Joshua absolutely does the latter. If you're going to The Apron, do yourself a favor and grab a seat at Joshua's bar. You'll leave in a better mood than when you walked in. Management should know they've got an absolute star behind the bar.

Ordinarily, I'd…read moreprobably just get dropped off at the airport by a family member, a family friend or an Uber driver. With my mom though, it made more sense to take a room at this hotel. This made things a lot easier for her in the long run. Wow...so glad I got to try this place with her. 5 star experience! To begin with...location, location, location. You really can't get any closer to the airport than this hotel as it's built into the airport itself. I spent a few minutes on the treadmill in hotel's gym, and while walking on the treadmill, I found myself looking through a window where the view was of electronic kiosks for people to do check-in. And for anyone with mobility issues who might be concerned about having to still walk through the airport to get to whatever part of the airport they need to get to...you can go to the front desk of this hotel and reserve a ride on a golf cart to get to where you need to go! That is exactly what I did. Mom and I rode a golf cart at 6:30am to get to the Air Canada check-in counter. Our room was gorgeous and very comfortable. I loved the design of the bathtub, and how there were sliding doors which gave the option of bathing while being able to see and chat with other people in the room, but also the option of closing those sliding doors for privacy. Our stay was short but sweet, and I tried to get the most that I could out of our very short stay. So I made sure to take a bath in the bathtub, and yes...I opted to close those doors for privacy! They provided a couple of nice, thick bathrobes in the closet along with green slippers that had the word "Fairmont" embroidered into the slipper. These were super handy as I'd forgotten to pack myself some slippers. Mom and I both made use of these slippers and brought them along with us for our travels. Staying here is pricey but it was worth every penny!

The shuttles travel pretty frequently, and you can just book your seat with the front desk. + Close proximity to some restaurants and the airport + Room was clean and had enough room for the quick trip. It also had a microwave and fridge. + Complimentary breakfast - it's pretty standard hotel breakfast food, but it's good if you're trying to save $$$ and just need something to get your day started CONS: + Under construction at the time of my stay so I think it's in the process of getting better in terms of aesthetics, but just not quite there yet. Still, this didn't bother me! + Gym was OK. Wish there was more in it, but it has the basics (dumbbells, treadmills, a cable machine) + it is a little loud being close to the road and all the traffic nearby, but they do have a noise machine in the room as well! + Not a lot of other amenities Not bad if you need an affordable option close to the airport!

Not so great: 1) The bathtub drainage was terrible. I would have dirty water up to my knees if I took shower normally. I had to finish my shower quickly. 2) There was only one of the two elevators were working. It took us 10 min to just going down to the lobby each time. It took longer at the checking out time. 3) When we came back to the room after the breakfast on the check out day, the cleaning staff was already started cleaning our room. Although we already packed our bags and put them in a car before breakfast, we haven't checked out the hotel yet. We could not go back to the room to use restroom, we just went back to the lobby to use one at the restaurant.

I knew that this hotel wouldn't be as nice as our stay at the Hyatt, but it was quite the downgrade. The room we were given was incredibly tiny with only a double sized bed. It was also very dark and it just felt dirty overall. The nice part of our room is that they gave us a room on the top floor that gave us access to a private rooftop balcony but it's not enough to give it any additional stars since the balcony was pretty dirty as well. I think the best part of our stay was that it's near the shopping mall as well as near the metro. Also, since this was our last night in the Vancouver area, we used their free shuttle to get to the airport which is very close by. However, it does get crowded on the shuttle since they service 3 hotels in total, but fortunately we didn't have to wait and got on our shuttle. I personally wouldn't stay here again. However, I have to say that the staff was nice as well so that's also a plus. But not worth all the other negative things with this hotel.

One drawback is that the swimming pool and hot tub are outdoors, which isn't ideal during the cooler seasons. That's when I switch back to booking the Westin Richmond, when my children wants to swim.
