Residence Inn Vancouver Downtown

I was looking for a clean reasonably priced hotel within walking distance of a lot of places I wanted to visit while on my trip to Vancouver and Residence Inn fit the bill perfectly.
Their rates were quite reasonable when compared to some other nearby hotels and the room was clean and just what I was looking for. The bed was comfortable and the room had a small kitchen (with a dish washer!). The bathroom was well lit and they offer a coin operated laundry service.
When you are arriving follow the signs for parking. As soon as you turn off the road there are 3 spots right next to the building for «check-​in parking». Once you’ve checked in you’ll get your parking pass for the gated parking garage directly around the corner. Also, the elevators are key operated so make sure you always have your room key on you.
There’s a restaurant attached to the hotel (Covino) that we went to for some drinks before taking a cab elsewhere. It was nice for drinks but I couldn’t see myself having dinner there.
This is a great hotel if you just need a clean room for a fair price. I’d definitely recommend Residence Inn or stay here again.
I’m a fan.

Had an amazing experience at this hotel in Vancouver. The concierge was more than helpful, the hotel was so clean and well appointed and the service and check in /​out was a breeze.
If you want to stay somewhere close to shopping, restaurants, parks, downtown, walking, site seeing, thesis the place to stay. It is central to everything and makes walking really easy in the city.
My husband had never been to a Residence Inn before and now we only stay in Residence Inns when its available. Absolutely lovely establishment.

Clean, Clean, Clean… Did I mention how clean this place is. Everyone was courteous. Great location, easy parking (free if you have a disabled plaque). Rooms are spacious even has a kitchen filled with knickknacks you would need for every day use. Breakfast is served till 9:00AM and I’m not talking about just boring cereal although they have that too, eggs, sausage sandwiches, waffles, 4 different fruit juices, yogurt, fruit, coffee, toast and it’s all free BABY…

Pros: Convenient (located at the heart of downtown Vancouver). Friendly and attentive staff. Clean and updated room with kitchen that includes many utensils, water boiler, dish washer, etc. Free WIFI. Free breakfast. Comfortable beds, adjustable room temperature, and you can open the windows for fresh air. Good price (I booked through Travelocity).
Cons: I couldn’t think of much except there is a lot of upcoming constructions near by so it might get noisy in the later months. Breakfast hour ended at 9:00 (9:30 on weekend). Which is a bit too early for me.
Also, if you have a rental car; Make sure you park your car on the designated parking for check in. Go inside to check in first and indicate to the staff you need to park your car in the garage ($ 19 CAD per night). I went straight to the parking garage first and I couldn’t get in because you need your room key card to open the gate.
Overall this is a very good and comfortable hotel with very friendly staff. I would definitely stay here again if I come to Vancouver.

Hotels in Vancouver are pricy, even in shoulder season… but we snagged a great rate, $ 199 and combined with my platinum status scored us a beautiful skyline view.
The rooms have a swank euro feel, crisp clean and fresh. The mini kitchen is thoughtfully appointed and the shower is a wonderful respite with extra hot water and a powerful punch of pressure.
The parking, though tricky, tight and requiring two locked gate crossings, is reasonably priced. The location is a bit grittier than the more upscale Coal Harbor/​Robson hotels, but I like that! Lots of hole in the wall bars and bodegas and eateries within a five minute jaunt. And it’s very near Granville island.
Yeah this place rocks.

Great staff! Beautiful rooms that come with a small kitchen. This helped with keeping the cost down for food and made traveling with kids so much easier! The staff was very helpful with finding family friendly places to eat that worked for our large group including vegans, children, and others… Close to the bus stops and within walking distance to the convention center. I would defiantly stay here again.

Pros: Generally friendly staff. The suites are clean; Pet friendly rooms on the 3^rd and 4^th (?) floors. Complimentary breakfast comes handy. Free WIFI. Room attendants are well-​trained, do a good job and pleasant. Clean sheets, comfortable bed, very soft pillows. Little kitchen is fully furnished.
Cons: Reserved a king bed in advance, but was told none available, was put in a room with two queen beds which was fine, but wasn’t told these were more expensive rooms. Staff made adjustments when I brought it to their attention though so no star lost.
Overall, it was a very pleasant stay, didn’t feel I was in a hotel. Staff was always available when needed; responsive to their clients’ needs. There are pictures of the hotel and amenities in and outside on here, but check out the kitchen stuff I took pictures of, just to show what to expect when you stay here.

I have still been sticking to Marriott for travel. Boy does this place deliver!
Included wifi: check (important if you don’t have a cell phone with roaming like I do)
Included breakfast: check (nothing crazy but it’s solid enough for a good start to the day)
Amazing staff: check (one guy spent 10 minutes explaining to me how to get to his favorite restaurant)
Shower water pressure: check (it’s not the ‘Struggle to stand from the onslaught’ I still hope for but its good enough!)
Parking: On site, $ 19. Reasonable once you realize there’s no parking anywhere in this area
I highly recommend this one!

Out of all five of the hotels I’ve stayed at in Vancouver during my stay the Marriott residence inn was the absolute worst experience.
First they said the room was 385 then after all he fees and tax it was 500.
I got barely any sleep due to the early sunrise construction and jackhammer noise outside my room. Obviously the snooty and rude service were aware of this happening. The only options they gave me was to wait it out for a few hours and get $ 100 off on another room or get a lousy $ 50 returned for the 500 night sleep I didn’t get. This caused an inconvenience for my entire day and ruined the end of my trip.
They have a kitchenette with a full sized fridge that had one old McDonald yogurt cup in it. Nothing else. No water bottles. The room could use a lot of sprucing up.
Also their big platinum TV and iTunes Radio didn’t even work. They were such a rip off… go somewhere else where your money will be worth it.

We stayed here for 3 nights at the beginning of July. Our room was lovely, with very updated furnishings, carpeting, décor, etc. There were plenty of plugs for all our chargers. The little kitchenette was awesome and came with microwave, and even a dishwasher! It was also fully stocked with plates, cups, and other kitchen accessories.
We enjoyed the complimentary breakfast each morning. The waffle maker was a big hit, as well as the selection of fresh fruit. The hot plate items were not as well received. No one in my group liked the breakfast sausages they served, they described the taste as «not quite right»… Even though there were a lot of people at the breakfast each morning, the line never got too long and there was always plenty of seating. Plus, all the staff worked very hard to keep things clean and cleared off tables quickly. Much appreciated!
I also liked the «business center» (really just a few computers and a printer in the lobby). We could look up directions and print them on the printer, which was really helpful as we were from out of the country, so we couldn’t use our smartphones for directions like we were used to!
The location was great for us too. We were able to take the Canada train straight from the airport to the hotel, and we only had to walk about .5 miles from the train stop. It was also right next to Davie street, with an abundance of restaurants and shops (we really recommend Banana Leaf and Sushi Maumi). we were also walking distance from Granville Island (well, you walk to the aqua bus) and from the Gaslamp district.
The only downsides for us were the price (pretty expensive!) and some hiccups in checking in/​registering our credit cards. For some reason they made us register TWO credit cards for one room and then ended up charging the credit card we did not want them to. We got it sorted out, but a bit of an annoying hassle. Also the noise of the elevator from our room was a little bothersome, but not horrible.

Great service at this Marriott. Mike at the front desk was especially friendly and informative.
The room was large and has a fully stocked kitchen with a full height refrigerator. The hotel overall was tidy and clean with modern décor. The complimentary breakfast was abundant but ended a bit early, by 9 am.
The neighborhood has many restaurants, salons, cannabis clubs and night spots, hence it can look a bit shady.

Emma Santiago and the rest of the staff are amazing! Everything about our stay was perfect and second-​to-​none! They helped make our first visit to Vancouver an incredible experience! Buddy from Texas

Die Zimmer des Residence Inn wurde offensichtlich renoviert. Die Ausstattung ist hervorragend sogar mit einem Küchenblock, Geschirrspülmaschine, Kaffeemaschine und einem fetten Flatscreen ausgestattet. Der Mehrwert dieses Hotels ist nicht zu unterschätzen, die Lage in Downtown macht es für Städtetouristen (zu Fuss 20min. nach Gastown) zur idealen Unterkunft. An der Hotelbar wirkt ein junger, sympathischer und weltoffener Deutscher wo man das erlebte des Tages noch einmal Revue passieren lassen kann.

Very nice rooms. Centrally located. Reasonable rates. Decent pool. Free breakfast. Parking is only 19.00 a day. What’s not to like. I had to drop a star because my rooms weren’t ready until 4:00 ish on a Monday, which was lame.

Loved my room.
I loved how big and open my room was. Loved the shower. Only thing that could may of knocked the rating down was the view, but fortunately I was there during St. Patrick’s day, and I got to see a bagpipe band get together in the middle of the street and start playing. That was awesome.
Bed was comfy and room was cozy. The Staff was great. The front desk clerk was super friendly. Even though I showed up before my wife got there she let me into my room, and just had my wife check in later (since the room was under her name). Parking is 19 dollars a day, not bad stayed at places that were double that before.
Our bartender (Eric) was interesting person. I was not sure if he liked us or not. He gave good recommendations for food, but seemed kind of cocky about some other things we wanted to do. He could not make a an old fashion since they had no oranges BOO! But, he made a good dirty martini with Kettle One Vodka. He loved to talk about cricket, and actually explained the game to me. I was kind of intrigued by the sport after that. I ordered anti-​pasta plate at the bar, it was good. The smoked buffalo on there was awesome. It was pricey but it is hotel prices, so be prepared for that.
The Manager (Jenny) of the hotel was great, and she was super helpful too. The staff seemed to like her, and work as a team. Great prices for the rooms, for such an awesome place to stay.
It is not too far from the Stadium or Arena, about a 5 minute cab ride (10 bucks or so), near Yaletown.

This place is highly rated and well reviewed. So my friends and I took a trip up to experience it for a 30^th birthday and hockey game!
One of the best hotels I have stayed at. Clean, inviting, and simple. It was nice to be able to learn where things were immediately and where I was within the establishment. The elevators are very entertaining since they open on both sides pending on where you’re headed.
The staff was ultra friendly and extremely helpful. Everyone had their own personalities and you knew it wasn’t fake. They actually loved being there as well! I personally want to congratulate Jenny since we only found out that she was a manager there afterwards. She was the most helpful at the bar there and at the front desk! She does everything! Now that’s a manager I would also love to work for! She leads by example and gets down to help no matter where she is in the hotel.
Everyone gave us great information about where to go, where things were, and how to solve all of our needs; Bank exchange, foods, bars, entertainment, stadium options, etc.
The rooms are large and the kitchens were very convenient! Great price for what you get in return. Also, the hotel is quiet even when one of our rooms were next to the elevator! The whole place created a nice atmosphere that brought us «home» at the end of the day. Thank you!

Just came back from a 4 day stay. This hotel is awesome. 100%
When we were looking at options, we almost went with one of the 5 star options because they were pretty affordable. I’m so glad we didn’t though.
First, the service is first rate. The staff is friendly, helpful, and super-​attentive. Everything from front desk, breakfast staff, to housekeeping. First rate.
The rooms are huge, clean, modern, and include a kitchen. The TV didn’t swivel, but I was able to survive :)
A big surprise was the quality of the included breakfast. This is several notches above the standard Holiday Inn Express eggs buffet. I actually looked forward to breakfast every day.
Lastly, the location is super. We walked to the Rodgers center for a Canucks game, had dinner in Yaletown, and used the car for several day trips. It’s right in the middle of everything that you need.
This place was a real surprise. Don’t hesitate if you’re thinking about it.

I’m a Marriott guy. Stayed in hundreds of hotels. This is one of the best residence inn hotels I’ve ever stayed at. It feels brand new.
What did I like best:
–location location location.
–front entry is very inviting and spacious
–room was spacious, quiet and modern
–bathroom was great. Updated fixtures. And wood cabinetry.
–Kitchen had brand new, sleek and modern appliances.
I will definitely be staying here again.

Really enjoyed staying at this hotel. We were located on the third floor and away from the elevator. It was nice and quiet. The room comes with a fridge and stove with pots and pans. Great hotel for families for you can cook meals.
Every morning there is a hot breakfast served. The pancakes, hash browns, bacon are yummy. So many different eggs being served– hard boiled, scrambled and omelette. Chocolate and plain croissants are my favorites.
Location is right in downtown. The Vancouver Trolley Company (Hop on Hop Off) stops right in front of the hotel. Easy access to all the major attractions by using the hop on hop off. Lots of eateries located nearby.
The staff are very courteous and helpful. Won (Jon) Leung was a wealth of information in regards to the types of tours available, what to do in the city, where to to for dinner, etc… Other memorable staff members were Mike and Maya.

Pros:
— Spacious rooms, especially for a heart-​of-​the-​city location.
— Newly renovated with a slick lobby and nice finishes (quartz countertops, glass-​enclosed shower) in the kitchenette and bathroom.
— Free wi-​fi.
— Free breakfast (nothing fancy, but plenty of options).
— Well-​priced relative to the other area accommodations.
— Friendly staff who took care of our parking ticket when we forgot to put our parking permit back on the dash in their garage.
Cons:
— Central, walkable location, but there’s very little of interest right around the hotel.
— Low ceilings, which I realize they can’t do a thing about, but worth mentioning if you’re envisioning height to go with the large room dimensions.
— Less-​than-​stellar housekeeping. We moved the couch back a little bit because the way it was arranged when we arrived gave my husband less than a six inch clearance to get to his side of the bed. There was all sorts of stuff under the couch… paper clips, a ticket stub, dust bunnies…
— If you get an adjoining room, be prepared to hear everything. Not sure why, but our neighbor’s room phone rang frequently — morning, noon, and night. I kept thinking it was ours, if that tells you how loud it was.
I flip-​flop between a 3 and 4 star review, but will bump this to 4 because I think I would have been quite satisfied had we gotten a higher-​floor room with a view. We were on the fifth floor, looking at a neighboring condo complex, but heard that the views from the upper floors were spectacular. Unfortunately, they were unable to honor our reservation request ahead of time or move us during our stay.

Another first timer in B.C. and this hotel was a fantastic choice!
ROOM: The room had a balcony with a fantastic view of the city/​mountains (if that wouldn’t have me sold alone) and was extremely spacious. It also looked as if it had either underwent renovations somewhat recently, is new, or has been very well kept. The bathroom was also spacious, with a HUGE glass shower – loved it.
OVERALL: Daily breakfast buffet – nice addition to keep costs down while traveling. I believe they also had a pool, spa, and work-​out room. The lobby was extremely nice and looked well-​kept/​revamped as well.
LOCATION: Fantastic location. We literally walked everywhere in the city and, if it was pouring rain, hailed a cab 1 block over.
Definitely look into staying here on your visit/​stay in Vancouver!
