“Located on Granville Island, the hotel distinguishes itself with immediate access to the unique artisan and market culture of the area. While some past guests noted dated décor, I see this as balanced by spacious rooms, many featuring private balconies that enhance the remarkable waterfront views; the acclaimed Dockside Restaurant is reason alone to visit.”

excellent stay on granville island
complimentary water convenient parking quiet room
the hotel provided a complimentary bottle of water and a small chocolate each afternoon. my room was quiet, blocking both traffic and hallway noise. i also found guest parking very convenient.
this kept me awake during the night. the front desk only gave me an eye roll when i asked about being charged full price.
