Clean, comfortable, simple, and quite adequate. No AC, but small electric fan did the trick, and nice to be able to open the windows. The served breakfast was good, although limited choices and quantity. Helpful staff readily available. Location was great for us--would certainly stay here again.

I didn't realize it was more like a dormitory complex but it had everything necessary and it was VERY quiet. A very pretty area safe for walks. The only negative was that it should not be listed as a lodge but I guess it depends on where you look to book online. I'd stay there again.

Breakfast started at 7 and was cold when we arrived at 8. Pancakes, scrambled or poached eggs, bacon, turkey bacon, yogurt cup. It is cooked for you in the cafeteria. Good juice selection. The chef was the only staff we interacted with, he was nice. Room was extremely basic, essentially student dorms being used as lodging. Bed , desk, chair, dresser, single lamp. Felt like a hostel with a private room. TV in the room didn’t work. Felt pricey at $200 but overall was fine.

I had a good stay here. The staff were polite and helpful. The room was clean, spacious and had all the things i needed. They also had free breakfast every morning, which was pretty good. My minor complaint would be the internet though. The guest internet connection was on some kind of safe mode, which meant i could not access youtube videos which were discussing certain subjects. I don't think adults internet access should be restricted to some kind of safe mode, which are meant to be for kids. Overall, a good stay. 9/10. Fix the internet (aka remove safe mode) and i would be inclined to give it 10/10

The lodge is an excellent choice if you value garden like community and gorgeous space of the bedroom & living room. The kitchen is the best I’ve ever seen! The only thing is you have to bring all cooking materials otherwise you have to drive quite a while to prepare all cooking materials. The breakfast is pretty good, you’ll be served all the traditional continental style meals.

The hotel is very low quality compared to the price. The mattress is low quality, pillows are very low quality and not comfortable at all. The furniture and the room setting is not of quality and dorm like setting. Only good for location inside campus. Staff is helpful

I stayed here with my family of 5. Main thing to know: this is more a hostel than a hotel. Cons: a little mold in the bathroom and kitchen. Parking was sparse, and I don’t remember seeing directions for where to park if the small onsite lot was full. We arrived late at night and had to find alternate parking 10 minutes away. The kitchen in our unit smelled strongly of meals that had been cooked there before. The room description was inaccurate re. how many people our unit slept, and our son had to sleep on a non pullout couch. But there were huge pros for us: very affordable and more spacious compared to other Vancouver options; the included breakfast was filling; our unit had gorgeous views of the mountains, water, sunset, and big beautiful trees; the location on the UBC campus is really interesting and convenient - close to museums, takeout, a drugstore, and a beach, and not far from nice areas to tourist like Kitsilano, Granville Island, and Stanley Park. A good no frills and unique lodging option in Vancouver!

Disliked: Cleanliness
I wasn't there long enough to form an opinion outside of my arrival and room. My 2nd message from Carey Lodge which likely contained my door code and some entrance instructions would not open so I had a bit of a hard time figuring it all out while exhausted and in a lot of pain. Expedia thankfully supplied the door code. I arrived 5 minutes after reception closed. Once to my room I.realized it had not been cleaned. I found a buzzer by the entrance and contacted someone i could not hear for a couple minutes but eventually heard staff would come clean the room. Mistakes happen. My room was too warm, the fan rattled terribly, the bed was comfy, the toilet seat was falling off and super low, narrow shower, not very clean anywhere and no bedside table was a strange surprise. Do not recommend for someone with physical disabilities. Was quiet. Staff seemed friendly. Surrounded by beautiful grounds and buildings.

I’ve stayed in a lot of properties throughout my life, from high end luxe to mediocre. We were very surprised at how run down and unkept Carey Centre is. We had two rooms over two nights. The first room had moldy shower walls and was in desperate need of painting. The towels were cheap and small. No shampoo or bath soap provided. No water or ice abaibke on our floor. If you didn’t fill your own bottle before 7:00 PM you were locked out of the main lobby area where the single home size water dispenser was located to serve the entire property. Day two we moved to another room. While there was wall-mounted soap and shampoo, there were no towels. Again, it was obvious the place hasn’t been painted or carpets clean in a long while. We Also thought it was odd there were wires dangling around - a/c connector plug hanging from the window (no a/c unit), door lock batteries hanging loose from the handle, and some kind of internet (booster) hanging from the hallway wall with the wires flopping in the wall. To summarize, the location is great when visiting UBC, but they clearly need to invest in being the property up to expectations of guests paying $160-$215/night.

Unlike the reviews, we found the property fine, clean, pleasant and completely acceptable for the price. The staff were exceptionally helpful and kind. Breakfast was OK, not great but ok, just a little below Dennys.. This is not the Fairmount or Rosewood Georgia, and for those who have those grandious expectations perhaps stay in town and open your wallets instead of complaining....

Staff was helpful but the online checkin was confusing. If you book through a travel app -- you need to dig to find the code and there is no notification that you need to download the GOKI app. Inside the lobby of Carey Centre (though there are no signs to tell you) there is a reception desk where the staff was very helpful. Good value and very convenient location for any UBC-area travel needs. Would recommend it.
