Abercorn Inn Vancouver Airport

My husband, daughter(19months) and myself spent merely one day here but since my husband booked it as a surprise I had no choice but I'm not one to leave a negative comment unless its really bad. Towels were OLD they had loose strings(frabric) on the edges and thats unacceptable. Beds were fine and seemed clean but the bathrooms smelled dirty and the let me tell you about the vacuuming they do. They don't even use real vacuums they something that is only supposed to be used on floor like tile. How I know this is because I'm in the housecleaning business. The bathrooms would be better if they actually tried cleaning an not just wiped it. the edges of the tub are red which means DIRTY. in the end it was a bed to sleep on which is better than nothing but I found a past guest pacifier next to my bed and behind the lamp it was SO dirty. oh yeah no room service which is eh like not a big deal but at times an inconvenience.

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.

We chose this hotel due to it's price, proximity to the airport and breakfast included. We had a late check in at 1:30AM due to a delayed flight; the lady at the front desk was courteous, professional and quick. The room was clean and our bed, sheets, and pillows were comfortable. We stayed in room 309. The continental breakfast had bacon, sausage, eggs, an assortment of pastries, cereal, waffles and bread/bagels, coffee, tea hot chocolate and juices. The morning staff were friendly and helpful - both at the front desk and those working the continental breakfast. Their shuttle service runs ever 30 mins but is closed from 1AM to 4AM in case that factors into your transportation needs. Taxi fare is approximately 20$. I would stay at this hotel again as an overnight option for sure.

Wish I had a reason to stay longer at this hotel. We stayed here last minute due to a cancelled flight. Check in was friendly and fast. Hotel is very charming and has lots of character. Bed was comfy. Bathroom was a bit crowded but serviceable. Extra toiletries at the front desk if requested. Convenient airport shuttle that was surprisingly comfortable. Breakfast included; if you're up too early for hot breakfast they have pastries, fruit, and coffee out.

The room was quite clean. The hotel was very accommodating to our requests. The location is good, since there is a Costco across the street and many other places nearby. It was also quite easy to find.
