No real issues. Terrific nostalgic vibe throughout! A really-really awesome place to stay! Maybe one thing however- wishing the underground parking was gated and more secure. A bit too wide open to whoever wants to wander in.

Delightful place to stay in Vancouver. During the winter months the English Bay is area quite calm and cozy, making for a quiet respite to the nearby bustling downtown. The Sylvia Lounge is a great place to take-in Happy Hour with classic cocktails and views of the many ships docked in the Bay. Rooms were well appointed with all the modern conveniences while staying true to its classic roots. The location provides instant access to the neighboring Stanley Park, and there are many bars and eateries within a block from the hotel. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
