Super 8

I booked this hotel without really reading any reviews but based off of price and location in proximity to where I wanted to go when I was in Vancouver for a day. Definitely read review before booking.
Upon checking into the hotel, the guy at the front desk was just busy answering phone calls and talking on the phone. He didn’t even acknowledge that I walked in and was waiting to check into the hotel. I waited for about 15 – 20 minutes before he finally got off the phone to help me, only to stop to answer another phone call in the process of checking me in.
30 minutes later, I finally got the keys to my room. The room was just standard. Nothing fancy. We read reviews about bedbugs but it didn’t look like there were any in our room so we just left to go out and explore the city. When we got back to the hotel, I was just lying in bed watching TV and then one bedbug started walking across the bed. Immediately, I jumped off the bed and started to strip the bed clean to check every last inch. I found another dead bedbug in the sheets.
Besides the bedbugs, the parking structure that they have is really dark and creepy. It’s definitely something you would see in a horror film, even the walkway back into the hotel and the elevators are something that reminds you of a horror film.
I definitely won’t be staying here again and would just tell others to pay more and stay at a decent hotel and not go cheap.

Two words. Bugs all through out the bed. It is the not worth the cheap price. Pay an extra 60 bucks and stay in a modern bug free place.

Let me just begin this review by telling you: rats are a lot cuter in Pixar movies.
My friend and I stayed at this hotel two separate times within a few days.
The first time wasn’t that bad. The hotel seemed to be in rough shape, the room was meh, and the breakfast was so gross I basically skipped it, but it was what we expected for the money. We went to Victoria for a few days, and then returned here so we would have a place to crash before our early morning flight.
While the woman was checking us in she said she was going to take $ 100 deposit for incidentals that would be returned in the morning. My friend pointed out that they had not done this last time, which was less than a week ago. The woman huffed & said that if they didn’t do it last time, she wouldn’t do it this time.
When we got to our room, there was a huge stain on the bed. We called housekeeping about 5 times before calling the front desk, on the 3^rd attempt someone finally picked up. We asked if we could get clean linens and instead she assigned us a new room. When we got to the new room, neither one of us could pickup a wifi signal. We called the front desk again & the woman told us that the cable was weak & if we had any serious work we could do it in the lobby.
We went out and had dinner, came back and tried to look for something on TV (they advertise having HBO but this is a lie, much like the wifi). Later I went to brush my teeth when I heard my friend freaking out. «Cassidy! Theres a rat in this room!» She yelled. Naturally, I put down my toothbrush, exited the bathroom, and then exited the hotel room, running to god knows where. I was in my pajamas and had no shoes but I was determined.
Somehow I ended up in the lobby of the hotel.
«There’s a rat in our room.» I complained to the front desk woman.
She didn’t even blink, as if this was a normal occurrence, as if I said «we need extra towels» or «has the liquor store delivery guy showed up yet?» Which makes me believe this is not the first time someone has had a goddamn rat in their room.
«Here’s keys to a new room, and our card if you would like to call our manager. I’m sorry about this.» She told me in a monotone voice.
My friend and I grabbed our belongings (during this adventure I too saw the rat, and it was freaking huge) and hightailed it out of there faster than you could say «hand sanitizer.»
When we got to the new hotel room (third one of the night), neither of us felt like staying here, and decided to go to the airport and crash there instead.
THE HOTEL WAS SO BAD WE DECIDED TO SLEEP AT AN AIRPORT INSTEAD.
We quickly packed our things and got dressed before going down to the lobby and asking for a refund.
The man at the front desk told us he was not yet a tier 3 mage and therefore did not have the magical ability to refund us.
Him: «My manager will probably be able to.»
Me: «Probably? Have people not received refunds here before?»
Him: *shrugs*
We took a bus to the airport and stayed there instead. At least the airport was clean and had wifi, even the Game of Thrones finale didn’t have me as upset as this hotel.
My friend called the manager this morning & he said he would have to speak to his staff & see «what really happened» before we could get a refund. Even though we checked out at 11PM AND ALSO THE RAT. So we’ll see what happens with that refund.
I wish I could give NEGATIVE 5 STARS.

One of the worst hotels I have ever been in. All the furniture is old and dusty, looks like it has bugs. Parking garage is terrifying. Police have been here for an hour for some reason. The entire place smells like shit. The wifi doesnt even go past the lobby??? I dropped off my stuff in my room, and brought my laptop to the lobby to write this review. This hotel doesn’t even deserve 1 star. I really hope the management reads these Unilocal reviews and decide to do something about their horrible service and amenities. Luckily I am not even spending the whole night, i leave for the airport at 4 am… but now I don’t want to lie in the bed because of the bugs I’m reading about in other Unilocal reviews.

I chose Super8 because spend there some nights in one of them, in San Bruno, CA and that was the clean, comfy hotel but this one in Vancouver, BC is the worst hotel I ever stayed. When I just open the door I felt the bad smell and disgusting feeling! In the room was a fly and a spider, it the trash bin was a garbage. I could not lie in the bad because of the ugly smell and feeling from linens. Everything in the room smelled likes 100 years old stuff. The bathroom was also terrible, especially the toilet. I will never stay in Super8 ever! Not recommend to stay in this hotel!

I chose to stay here because the price was relatively low. No major complaints and no surprises. The hotel was adequate. Decent choice. Obviously the hotel is not located close to downtown Vancouver or any major tourist destination, but the price is right.

I just stayed here and I got bedbugs in my room and as I talked to other guest they heard other people complaining about that. So becareful.

Just NEVER go at this hotel! I found many bed bugs in my room yesterday June 12… it was horrifying!!! So please né cautious and don’t go there.

I was very disappointed with this super 8.
Earlier that day when I called to book my room I was told I’d have a certain price. When arriving at 1:30 in the morning, I was charged more.
I had several bags, a dog kennel and a dog. When struggling to get in the hotel, I was asked to be quiet in respect for other guests. I was not ever asked if I needed help.
I will not ever stay there again.

I was satisfied!!!
I stayed in for 2 nights when vacationing, I liked the breakfast served every morning, the bowling alley was jist downstairs, very polite front desk receptionist, I wouldnt mind going back to the same hotel, thats if i go back to vancouver, canada lol
canada a bit too expensive

Not terrible, but very dated and basic. The only positive is the proximity to the airport. Other than that, it’s in a somewhat seedy neighborhood; the «free» breakfast is the sorriest excuse for sustenance I have ever seen; and the underground parking garage seems like a set from a serial murderer movie.
