Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
They upcharge after you have booked if you have more than 2 people staying even though the room is advertised for 4 with no mention of having to pay more. We had our 2 children with us and had to pay $50 each after I had already booked and paid. Floors were not vacuumed, windows had mold on them. No a/c. Bathroom shower had not been cleaned prior to our stay.

Not impressed at all. Bed was way to hard, no place to plug your phone in at bedside and when I pulled night stand out to find outlet for phone you could tell it has not be cleaned for awhile. There was a power bar on stand across the room, plug my phone in there. Woke up @ 3:45 check my phone never charged at all. Had to plug phone in bathroom. It’s not hotel it’s a house and when I open door very strange smell. There was a very strange smell when I opened front door went up to room same smell. Absolutely no human connection at all.

Quiet and comfortable place to rest

My stay here was relaxing after a long flight from the east. Check in was easy and information was provided in the email. The host was friendly, understanding and accommodating in the sense that she allowed me early check in for a fee and let me check out a bit later. The room was clean with a small dining table( with a coffee maker and mugs) couch and a nice view from the window. It turns out, you have to be on the quieter side when staying here so other guests do not get disturbed. Like you cannot play music if you have portable speakers. The washroom was clean and shared but I never had issues when I used it. The shower facilities could be better as the shower door did not have a handle. Other improvements could be to have tissues or wet tissues in the room. This is more ideal for solo travellers who want to rest or work quietly I guess. The area was not bad as it was 14 minutes from the airport and 24 hours shoppers drug mart. Nearby I saw a lot of Asian and sushi restaurants. It is kind of out of the way of main areas so you have to go a bit further to catch sky train to get to downtown. Overall my experience was nice and the host made my stay comfortable more so with the check in check out requests.

Nice little family hotel, warm welcome, cozy room, new bathroom (I had the room w/ the private bathroom), wifi works. The traffic outside can be a little loud, but it's Vancouver 😅. Bathroom could be a little bit cleaner, tho toilet and sink were clean and towels were fresh.
