There was no bath tub in my room and I was called upon reaching my room to ask how everything was. Upon informing them that I would prefer a bath tub they immediately changed my room for me. When my flight home was cancelled, the front desk staff suggested alternatives to help me get home. Two important highlights for a trip that would have been less pleasant and comfortable otherwise. Kudos! Well done!
Location is excellent for quick access to Canada Place (cruise terminal), rail transit system at Waterfront Station, & attractions downtown. This is a vintage hotel so expect a smallish room, but the daypass to the nearby Y offers great workout options. Staff were all extremely helpful & accommodating, ensuring I was comfortable & understood traffic & currency. This hotel is a good choice.
The room was tiny, but clean and comfortable and just fine for me. BUT the springs on the bed were super creaky and everytime i moved it creaked. I can live with it but it was soft and not firm.
Business center was very user friendly and convenient. Staff were very helpful and friendly.
Primary reason for booking was walking distance to cruise port. Hotel was just what we wanted. Easy walk to hotel from train stop from airport, easy and fast checkin, clean rooms and facilities for a one night stay before getting on a cruise ship headed for Alaska, friendly front desk staff, good location.
Bed was comfortable. Room was clean.
AC was also a heater which was nice on a cold night.
Our room was nice and quiet, which we didn't expect but were thankful for. Also, we weren't expecting two bedrooms, but that's exactly what we got. This was especially great as we were travelling with our children, so it was nice to have two separate spaces.
We found the staff to be very pleasant and helpful.
A 5-minute walk from Canada Place, this budget hotel is 7 minutes from the Waterfront SkyTrain station, which offers access to the airport, and a 2.3-km drive from Stanley Park.
Straightforward rooms offer free WiFi, TVs, desks and coffeemakers. Kids 17 and under stay free with a paying adult. Suites add separate living areas, minifridges and microwaves.
Amenities include an American-style restaurant, a business center and a meeting room.
Everything went well. Very friendly staff. Great location within walking distance to much of downtown. Good price as well.
Stayed with my family for three days as part of our summer vacation. The hotel is getting a bit dated but it's in a great location downtown and at a reasonable price for the area. We were first time travellers to Vancouver and received great advice and support from Bernadette at reception. She was very helpful helping us plan our days and finding good places to eat. Highly recommend.
The hotel has a great location close to the train lines and shopping streets. The room is small but Ok. The staff from the front desk is very friendly. They allow to check in at 8 am. The size from the shower is reduced.
I stay at the Days Inn every year for 2 weeks in January when I am working 15+ hours, so instead of driving home each night, it is a 3-minute walk to the hotel to crash for the night. I have gotten to know some of the staff, and they are very pleasant and healpful.
The room is small and conveniently located. The staff was very helpful and the restaurant downstairs service is excellent as well as the food.
Very convenient to where I needed to be. Good chair for working at the desk. Motel 6-like towels. Just barely room to turn around in the shower. Some peeling wall paper and rust mark by the shower. Did like that there was no rug. Bed was decent. No place for a breakfast area, so there was none.
It was old but clean. Really close to the convention centre and the expensive hotels. Great for me by myself but not for the kids. And now I type to satisfy the word count despite the fat I have said what I want to say.
The main thing this hotel has going for it is its location – it's a quick and pleasant walk to the convention centre. It is also, as far as I can tell, the cheapest option in this area. I like quirky older hotels, and this definitely falls into that category, but at times I felt the quirkiness was a little more than even I wanted.
Lots of other positives as well – very clean; friendly and helpful staff; a cafe in the basement run by very pleasant people for breakfast (although it doesn't open until 7:00 am); good wifi. Moderately comfortable bed. Although this is definitely an older building the wallpaper, carpet, etc., are all in good shape and the overall tone is pleasant.
There are a couple of other breakfast options near the hotel – a 100% gluten-free place on Granville which opens at 6:00 am and has fabulous food, and an Italian place across the street which also has lots of great offerings.
The elevator was out of service for the duration of my stay (three days) which wasn't a big deal for me but I expect would have been inconvenient for anyone with any type of mobility issue. Also, the hair dryer in my room didn't work – both times that I turned it on it started to crackle loudly and then started emitting tendrils of smoke.
I wonder if the Days Inn management has decided there is enough new business from convention centre visitors that they don't need to put a lot of effort in repeat business – so they don't bother investing in infrastructure like a functioning elevator or hairdryers since they don't really care if visitors ever come back. That kind of impression makes it hard to be totally enthusiastic about staying here.
So, although I enjoyed my stay and as I said the location is great, I'd be a little ambivalent about staying here again. I would definitely look around for other options before making another booking here.
