The pool is huge with a waterslide and the gym is massive (for a hotel), probably 3 times bigger than an average hotel gym with brand new equipment. it was built within the last 10 years, so everything is new. Definitely went out of the way to find suitable rooms for you - based on the price you pay. Besides that, the front desk was helpful and really friendly. The main bonus for us is that it was only 1 stop away from the Airport, so it was perfect location for our needs to get to the airport early the next day. So it was convenient and economical to hop on and take a short 20 min ride downtown. Although it is located in Richmond, which isn't exactly what the pictures depict in the magazines of what Vancouver is 'supposed' to look like, it's located at a SkyTrain Station. Stayed here twice during a layover down to Vegas.
