The location of the hotel is what you come here for, I think! I didn't end up at the beach but Stanley park is close, and the area is very walkable and cute! The hotel itself needs some upgrades, the lobby and elevator feel a bit old and dirty. My room itself was totally fine. There was a leak in the sink that they apologized for and honestly had very little impact on me considering I stayed only one night. For a budget or short stay, this place gets the job done!

We really enjoyed our stay at Best Western Plus Sands. The biggest highlight is the amazing location — it's perfect for accessing everything: the beach, activities, dining, and scenic walks. We rented bikes from the shop right in front of the hotel and rode through Stanley Park, which was an incredible experience. There are plenty of restaurants and cafes within walking distance, and we didn’t even need to take the car out of the parking lot! We walked to Granville Island, Downtown Vancouver, Gastown, and many other nearby attractions. The area around the hotel is lively and vibrant. One of our favorite moments was watching the beautiful sunset while sipping wine from our room — truly memorable. The only minor downside was that the room felt a bit small, but everything else made up for it. We would definitely recommend this place for a convenient and enjoyable Vancouver stay!
