I had stayed at this location on Feb 16th for the night. The surrounding areas are a little rough which is fine. However, in the room not one single electrical outlet worked and I tried ALL OF THEM. Was unable to charge phone or do hair etc. Woke up with two bites on my face, i’m not sure if that was from the sheets or the pillows. Was extremely disappointing.

Dear Guest, In regards to your bites, this is something we take very seriously. Our pest control company inspects all guest's rooms and the entire building regularly and our housekeeping team also inspects rooms on a daily basis. Furthermore, we haven't had an issue with outlets before and we will look into this issue for the room that you actually stayed in. Could you please contact us so that we can discuss this matter further. Thank you,

Good value for comfort!
Location nearby the DTES can be intimidating for some (likely to walk past homeless and/or opioid dependence out-patients along Pender St). Though the cleanliness of the room was good, its furnishings are dated, and not quite the right size fitting the space: the dresser that places the TV is too big, and partially blocks access to the coat rack + luggage nook. Pandemic conditions 'free breakfast' was a brown bag consisting of a toddler's portion sized combo: a juice box, a granola bar, and a fruit cup. Comparatively in Downtown, it's about another CAD $50 more expensive to stay at a better 3-star hotel, and $20 less expensive to stay at a smaller 2-star hotel.

I was very unhally with the property at first. The room was tiny, bed was hard as can be. Tv remote didnt work, and it smelled like pot on the whole floor. The walls are paper thin and we had a bunch of young college partiers on the floor and we couldnt sleep. My wife is 7 months pregnant, she needs to sleep when she can. Theu moved us to another "upgraded" room. It was the same excrpt a dmall fridge and a desk. Theu did all they could to help but I would not stay here again. I dxpected kore from a Ramada, and was let down. The staff was very nice and helpful and it is located in a fantastic area. But the hotel is just too aged and the hotel saved pennies on everything from beds to the breakfast in the morning. Do your back a favor and stay elsewhere.

Thank you for sharing your review. We are committed to offering every one of our guests an exceptional stay, and we apologize that we did not do so for your visit. It was one of the most popular sports event day in Vancouver(Rugby 7) and some of our guests were little too excited about it. We are a 100 years old building and our rooms walls are thinner than some newer buildings.We are very sorry for the troubles caused by the noise and everything.Thank you again for your feedback.
