Hotel/Motel

I relocated from Australia to Vancouver and stayed in two Vancouver Short Stay properties - The Wallace Shipyards Suite in North Van and the Deighton downtown on Granville. Both properties were very good which was reflected in the fact that I stayed from the middle of July to December 2016! Daniel and is team were very responsive, excellent communicators, and super helpful. The customer service is excellent and invoicing, payments, and return of the damage deposit is all fast, accurate and efficient. The suites were both fully equipped with everything you need to live in Vancouver - all you need to bring is your suitcase! The suites were comfortable and the furniture and appliances were all of very good quality. Secure underground parking was provided with both suites and access to the building amenities was also included. The location of the Wallace Shipyards was convenient to Lonsdale Quay market, shops, and Sea Bus which takes you directly to Downtown Vancouver. It is also easy commuter access to the bridges to Burnaby or Lions Gate / Downtown. The Wallace Shipyards Suite had plenty of internal storage and was roomy with a nice balcony. The Deighton Suite is located in the center of Vancouver where you can easily walk to everywhere. Even better is the convenient access to the Sky Train which is literally steps from the elevator connected to the suite. The area has many shops, restaurants, clubs, bars, theatres, and tourist sites. My only criticisms would be that the Deighton Suite is a bit small and has limited storage. There is also no balcony. In the summer, the Deighton Suite is especially noisy being right on Granville and only 8 floors above the street where the patrons of the many local pubs and clubs pass by on the way to the train station or bus stop! Daniel and his team at Vancouver Short Stay care about their clients and their properties. They made for a very smooth transition for me moving from Australia to Vancouver. Thank you!

Our stay was very comfortable, and we were lucky enough to get a room far from the shared bathrooms, not a lot of foot traffic. The hotel in general was set up really nicely, our room and the shared facilities were beautiful and newly renovated. Each There was a sink, plenty of towels, soap and lotion, TV, all the amenities you'd seek from a nice hotel. Extremely friendly and caring staff. Our only qualms were our assumption that two people could fit into a "double" room. It's definitely not a European double, but instead much more suitable for one person!

The hotel is made up of suites, with separate kitchen, dining, and sitting areas. The location was great, in a bustling neighborhood near lots of restaurants and convenient to the airport and downtown. The staff was very friendly, efficient, and helpful.

I stayed at the River Rock for three nights, and it was nearly perfect. It was incredibly convenient to get there via the Skytrain; the station literally connects directly to the hotel. Check-in was a breeze, and the room was spacious and pretty modern. The only thing lacking for me was that there were no outlets on the nightstands. Despite being right in the flight path of landing jets, the room was quiet. WiFi was quick and easy to connect to. This might be bizarre to comment on, but the elevators are the fastest I've ever used. I never waited more than 10 seconds after pushing the button before one arrived, despite being on the 12th floor. Incredibly efficient!

We flew into Vancouver Airport late Friday night and on route we scrambled to book a hotel room since there were no connector flights to Victoria at that time. What a gong show! Forgot it was a long weekend because we were soaking up the sun in Honduras and welcome home… Almost every hotel in the Richmond/ Airport area was about $250 and up, and availability— Don’t even get us started. We just just wanted a place to crash so we could get up and hop the ferry. Enter the Abercorn Inn We’re not going to lie, we chose the Abercorn Inn because of the price. It was $175 for the night and that included a buffet breakfast. We didn’t care as much about the breakfast as we did the room being under $200, we just wanted a bed. The pictures of the Abercorn, that we saw online, weren’t great but the price spoke so we booked. And we are super glad we did. First there is a complimentary shuttle bus that picks up at the airport every half hour. We were worried that it wouldn’t be running at 11pm, but to our surprise and delight it was. The bus was shared with the Hampton Inn and it really clean and the driver was extremely friendly. Upon arriving at the Abercorn, the front desk gentleman was nice and got us our room really quickly. This is a really good thing when you’re an exhausted traveller, nothing can make check-in go bad fast than bad service. The front reception area was nice and clean, has a complimentary taxi phone and comfortable seating available if you had to wait. Our room had a King size bed and it was crazy-comfortable. Slept like a baby all night! The room was really clean, there was a coffee machine, a mini fridge and of course the T.V. The décor was warm and inviting and it was a great value for the price. The bathroom was big and bright and again super clean. It had a humungous bath tub with a shower in it. A person with mobility issues may not love that as it does require being able to step in quite high. Our only complaint would be that the air conditioning unit was a little on the noisy side and required a little tap there and again to get it to quiet down. The breakfast was delicious and even though there were a ton of people eating they didn’t really run out of anything for more than a couple of minutes. The fresh stuff just kept coming and there were plenty of staff around to assist and clean up. All in all we were really happy with the Abercorn and we really appreciated that they are not afraid to employ staff. A hotel that employs people instead of running a skeleton crew to save a buck is beginning to be a rare thing. So good job Abercorn, we usually stay at the Travelodge but you will likely be our new go-to place to stay the next time we’re in town. Much more value for the price and when you travel a lot like us that’s what you want.

There is no sign that says "Vancouver Backpacker House", just the address 7020 which is half hidden by the overgrown bushes in front of the house. It's in a residential area of Burnaby. There is no front desk. It very casual. The people checking me in were very nice people! They care for about 4 buildings so you may have to walk another 5minutes to your actual room. Room are basic. Very small cubic lockers located in the common area, morning the bedroom. The doors were never locked but there was always someone in the appartment. The appartment building's Doors were always locked but it's still low security. We were constantly scrounging for TP. It was a very quiet area and the other backpackers were also very friendly and quiet.

Great homely setting with beautiful views and close to sooo many wineries 😊🍷

Outstanding view, beautiful units/pool, very nice hostess .. breakfast average

The best B&B experience

Very welcoming home, great food, relaxing atmosphere and quiet location. You'll love it!!

Beautiful family resort. Been coming here for years after Boucherie Beach Resort changed hands. Nice amenities, right on the water.

Council needs to step up! This beach is messy. Clean up the dried wood pile, add a public washroom and bike racks (there is barely parking, so at least make it possible to bike there).

This is a beautiful home with kind and generous people.

My husband and I stayed for two nights while he was on a business course. First thing we noticed was how hot the hotel was. They said they were working on it. Second was the fact we had to climb up approx. 20 stairs to get to our floor (no elevators). We had to lift two suitcases not only up the stairs but half way down a very long hot hallway we came to a door way and had to step down four more stairs no railing. Yes the room was small and the bathroom did need some updating, bad grout, dull finish, bottom of counter badly chipped and unless you're five foot you will have some issues getting up from the very low toilet. The bed however was very comfortable. The stairs alone was the deal killer very dangerous! Never again!

My wife and I spent three wonderful days here, Amazing place ! Stefka and Ivan are like our grandparents;they are super nice and friendly. The breakfast is very delicious. We will definitely come back again. Thanks!

A poorly run and managed S.R.O. hotel on Vancouver's once thriving entertainment strip that is filled with those not so fortunate souls.

Amazing views from West Kelowna of the hillside and Okanagan Lake, great pool, and extremely friendly and kind family that runs the B&B. They recommended great places to see and things to do in Kelowna. They make great, fresh breakfasts with fruits, veggies, and jams that have come right from their garden! Definitely would stay again!
