we enjoyed our two bed room. It was clean, comfortable and had a balcony overlooking the street and a decent resturant one block away. If you are going on a cruise, this is the place for you. They have a secure underground garage to park your car.

The conciergewas very friendly and helpful. The hotel was spacious and not overly cluttered. The breakfast room was a little on the small side. When we went down for breakfast there was a sports team down there which left no extra room.

My husband and young son stayed there one night after the football game The hotel is very run down the vending machine was broken the heat was left on in the room and this is the middle of summer. No air condition. Bed was lumpy and uncomfortable. Will never stay in this Inn again. When asked at the front desk were they could get bottle water they were told to cross the street at midnight.

We had problems with this hotel. We had to change the booking dates which online travel website accomodated without a problem, the hotel however did not accomodate us. They had no reservation for us after travelocity had called them and then they wouldn't honor the quoted price for the room. The hotel was a dump from the outside, the parking garage was a nightmare to navigate, the room was extremely noisy all night from the outside car and pedestrian traffic. The entire floor we stayed on reeked of marajuana smoke and for a "downtown" hotel it was more like saying my hotel is in New York city but it really is in New Jersey! I sense the staff writes a great view of the place weekly to lure unsuspecting travelers to their hotel. Hard to believe this was a Holiday Inn.

Great value, clean with comfortable beds. Overall a good experience. Bath tub tile could have been cleaned a little better. Overall a great value and good location. Pretty close to Stanley Park and downtown.

The Holiday Inn Express Vancouver had one of the most comfortable beds I've slept in at any hotel. Not much of a view from the very tiny balcony but for what I needed it was more than fine.

The convenience of the shuttle and the excellent service of the drivers. Nothing. The rooms were nice. The service was great. The food at the continental breakfast was good. All of my needs were met. I will stay there again and will recommend it to others.

The area right outside the hotel is alright but go down Hastings about a mile and you are in the slum. The bus stop is next to the hotel and is safe and convenient. Although, it seemed far from the city (about a 30 cab ride). The hotel staff was amazing, especially the (free) shuttle drivers helping you to get to all the sites!!! They all seemed to care about you and your stay. The rooms were nice and clean. The beds were really comfortable but the bathroom may need updating but was still clean.

Very close to Vancouver Place terminal. Bathroom needed additional cleaning, fire false alarm, poorly lit crowded breakfast room with no windows. About the only good thing I can say about the Holiday Inn Express is that it is close to the Vancouver Place cruise ship terminal (about 10 minutes or less by cab) and the Hastings Street bus goes directly Downtown. That's the good, the bad and the ugly are as follows: generally, this facility is a bit worn at the edges, the lobby has ugly Louis XIV-style furniture; the room furniture, bed, room and hallway carpeting were all old. My companion noticed the bathroom needed a bit more cleaning, as there were dirt streaks on the wood facing below the sink and on the door, the hotel immediately sent someone to touch that up, but Holiday Inn used to pride itself on "No Surprises"; there was a false fire alarm that evening that woke us from a dead sleep with an ear piercing high decibel alarm, my ears are still ringing! I went to the exercise room after the all clear to work out. The exercise room had a waste basket next to the water fountain that was overflowing to the floor with used water cups. The exercise machinery is old, some non-operational; the exercise room is quite cramped. There was one pair of old rusty bar bells. The night guard turns off the sauna regularly on his runs. The breakfast room is the absolute pits - too little room for the number of people it handles - very poorly lit - with no windows, you couldn't tell whether it was night or day that morning. The food itself is of a very low quality, I think the scrambled eggs were powdered. There were no boiled eggs. The breakfast sausage patties were seemingly flavored fat. The hotel shuttle took us to GasTown but we would've had a long wait for pickup because the shuttle is highly utilized, so we took the bus, occasioning a quite unpleasant walk through Vancouver's "skid row", flies, derelicts and all. I couldn't get a trip to the cruise ship terminal until 2:30 P

Friendly staff. Located in "iffy" area; have to go through a drug-infested area to get to it. It is located on the wrong end of East Hastings in an area that is "transitional." There is some building going on and there's a new Starbuck's, so there's hope. Crazy-people section of town to do so. That said, the buses run often and as long as you stay on until it reaches Granville, all is well. The carpets are really dirty, in fact the first room I was given, was just down right filthy. Sheets did not look too stellar either. The second room was better. Staff is very nice; if you need the shuttle tell them the moment you get there as otherwise the shuttle will be booked. I would not stay again unless nothing else was available, but I have to say, the place was booked solid while I was there.

Very nice hotel, especially considering the area that it is in. Further from downtown. Secured parking is reassuring considering you are on east Hastings. Close to highway #1 and a transit stop. Staff is very friendly and courteous. Besides being in a not so great location this is a great hotel. Never felt unsafe, just unsure at times.

The staff is accommodating and the facility is clean and generally well maintained. The A/C didn't work in the first room I had; staff graciously moved me to another room.

Spacious room and comfortable bed. Felt it was too far out to be called Downtown - taxi ride to city through drug/derelict area of city. Very small breakfast dining area with people waiting for tables. A decent tax ride to the central city. Staff okay, accommodation okay.

"The hotel is close to downtown. However, it is not located in the best of the neighborhood. The hotel may need some remodeling. For example, the front panel of the sink counter is broken. So, it doesn't look too appealing. Overall, it is good for its price."
