Howard Johnson Hotel Downtown Vancouver

great value

Although the rooms seem small, and the hot water seems to disappear after midnight, the location and the price made it a worthwhile option. I'd have to say that the price made it a true bargain. I'll definitely come back, for location, price, value and service.

2 stars, mayeb 2.25

Clean room and hotel. Decent location walkable to shopping and public transportation. No frills. Slightly dated bedspread and decor, but a good place if you just need a spot to rest and place your stuff while sightseeing.

Value for money

Great location on one of the main streets of Vancouver. Front Office staff were a touch vague and never answered the phone but the room was clean, housekeeping staff serviced daily to a good standard. Pub next door was convenient. All in all great value for money.

Satisfied, but expectactions met not exceeded

Decent, clean room. Some decor (bright yellow and brown beadspread) seemed slightly dated. A good hotel for just to sleep at night, but nothing to brag about either. The neighborhood Metrotown, at first glance, appears a bit sketchy, but the street life nearby are mostly harmless, and this hotel is easy walk to the new Vancouver subway and trendy Yaletown as well as downtown shopping.

staff not accomodating at all !!

staff , except for mangager Gabriella.....was very rude and obnoxious.....instead of servicing thier guests..all they cared about was how much extra $$ they could charge to accomodate any requets........there interpersonals skills were serverly lacking !!

good value

The hotel is in the process of remodeling, but we were impressed with our room. It was clean and recently decorated. We had the A/C on and were not disturbed by the construction or the neighborhood at all. Considering the price that we paid compared with surrounding hotels this was a great value and I would stay again.

NOT PARKING LOT

the hotel doesn't have parking lot, and you need to pay 14 dlls each day. I have been traveling in many cities in America and never paid for parking my car, that is very unusual for me. The hotel is very noise, because is in the middle of a night live city. Most of the time you will find people drunk and very noisy.

HOWARD JOHNSON/GRANDVILLE

The manager, Lucia, was very friendly, and her staff seemed to follow her example/standards. The hotel exterior/front was under re-modeling, however, the lobby and rest of the hotel interior was in good condition. Two small distasteful issues; the duvet had one hole completely through about the size of a dime, and there appeared to be dried MUCUS on the carpet between the night stand & bed. Perhaps a box of tissue placed on the nightstand for the previous guest may have prevented this one unpleasant sight. The addition of a small refrigerator in the room would have been very useful for storing snacks, etc. I would recommend this hotel to others.

Room smelled strange

Staff were great, location was good, but my room had a horrible moldy smell that made my one night stay quite unpleasant.
