Go for a room on burnside , it’s much quieter . And don’t forget to have the bar fill your mason jar with beer !

Fine in house restaurant and bars . Soaking pool is the best. Near bookstores , record shops and other places. Walk everywhere

You can have in/out privileges at the offsite parking garage for $25/night. Never needed it because it's walking distance to so much.

Great place to stay! In the heart of the city , at half the price...with all the luxury . Just doesn't have a bathroom in your room.

A little nicer than most of their hotels . A bit noisy on Burnside even late on an off night. Quirky and not the same fare for eats but all surprises here are pleasant. Explore the 'hood by foot!

Every room is named after a song by a band that played at the Crystal Ballroom at some point.

Basement has a soaking pool which is like a less-hot hot tub . Lovely. No parking lot .

Get the king suites and get your own bathroom . The staff here are down to earth and terrific.

Meow. Staff was friendly , bed was comfortable , fun location.

Take the stairs, its only 4 floors Elevator is scary old and creaky

Don't clog the shitter since it's shared.

Get a room not on burnside if you can. The traffic noise is bad. Worse then I thought it was going to be.
