We stayed there from jan-12 to jan-19 / 2012. The hotel is Very clean, in an excellent location near Stanley Park and downtown. The staff at the front desk were very helpful. There are many restaurants, grocery stores, supermarkets (Safeways and Nofrills) around. All in all a nice hotel, great location, nice rooms, nice staff, good food and good value! More

I stayed 3 nights as a stopover to look around Vancouver. Good location near Stanley park and English Bay. Very helpful and polite staff. I liked the shops and restaurants in the local streets. Easy to use the buses to get about (or walk). I'd stay here again if I return. More

My husband and I never really consider any other hotel in Vancouver any more. The rooms are spotless, our poodle is welcomed with goodie bags and bags to take on our walks. Stanley Park and the beach are right out the front door. Yes, there is some street noise but please remember you are housed in the middle of a... More

Well appointed hotel right on English bay in Vancouver's west end, just next door to Stanley Park. Close enough to the business part of the city but located in the restaurant and shopping areas of the west end. Very nice restaurant at the hotel and numerous other restaurants just a few steps from the lobby. Public transit right outside the... More

We stayed at Best Western Sands by the Sea for eleven nights while searching for a home in Vancouver. We were so glad we did. The location at the foot of Davie St cannot be beat if you want close access to Stanley Park, English Bay, and all that the bustling and cosmopolitan West End has to offer. If you... More

My travelling companion and I booked this in the internet using booking.com so knew nothing about it except what we read in customer feedback (which was very good). We asked for a room with a view and that is what we got - looking out over English Bay; beautiful. The staff we excellent - the room was not quite ready... More

You won't find better value or a better location. I've been a staying here 2-3 times a year for the last few years. Its very close to downtown but far enough away from all the noise so you can sleep well and you can't beat the location next door to English Bay and world-famous Stanley Park. It was recently upgraded... More

It was clean and pleasant. The bar downstairs had good food. Staff was friendly and helpful. The location was pretty nice. It was within easy walking distance to many restaurants and to the waterfront. Parking was available for a small additional charge. Overall a pretty good stay. More

Stay here and have a two-minute walk to English Bay beach where the paved pathway leads west to the seawall around Stanley Park, or east for hiking around False Creek. And it's at the corner of Denman and Davie Streets - both lined with dozens of restaurants of every ethnicity and price range. The hotel is somewhat dated, but very... More

I am very happy that you enjoyed your stay with us. I don't know if you realized that the alarm clock is an IPod, IPad and IPhone docking station to play your music and to charge your phone.
