“The repurposing of the old Vancouver Stock Exchange intrigued me, alongside its LEED Platinum certification, reflecting a commitment to sustainability; the location is superb, a short walk to the subway and major attractions. Furnishings, while comfortable, may present a question of durability over time, although the staff's dedication to service is truly exceptional. I think it balances historical charm with modern luxury.”

decent stay, some issues

friendly staff excellent location malfunctioning air conditioning uncomfortable temperature
The staff was friendly! the location is excellent! it is near many restaurants and tourist spots. i walked to canada place with no problem. Buses stop right outside the building, too!
the air conditioning was not working properly. i could not control the temperature in my room, very uncomfortable. the front desk sent a fan, twice. but that did not solve the issue.

friendly concierge clean room good advice weak water pressure small sink confusing thermostat
the room was clean and it was calm enough despite being on a lower floor facing the street. there are restaurants and cafes close by which was convenient. the concierge was friendly and helpful giving good advice.
the shower's water pressure was quite weak. i also found the bathroom sink to be smaller than expected. the thermostat was difficult to understand so i struggled to get the room to a comfortable temperature.
