I stayed one night at this hotel while in transit to Victoria. The hotel felt worn and tired, the room was cold and poorly equipped. I was woken in the night to what sounded like a mouse scratching or eating something (the noise stopped when I would switch on the light). The front desk staff were perfunctory in the their... More

I stayed her on March 11th, 2012 and, although the room was old and dark, it was fairly clean and quiet and made a decent, inexpensive place to stay downtown. I stayed here again on March 31 when I went over for a hockey game and had a very different experience. They gave us room 104 overlooking Granville St and... More

This is the second time I have stayed here and I was just as happy with it the second time around. The room was clean and comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful. The location is so convenient for getting around downtown and close to so many transit links. Keep in mind that the hotel is right on Granville... More

I used priceline.com to book the howard johnson hotel in downtown vancouver. one of the reasons i chose this hotel was the fact parking was included in the price. upon check-in the front desk girl said that they never give free parking, but i had my paperwork from priceline which clearly stated Freebies: in room internet and free parking. she...

I've stayed here several times and once again I thought it was a great value for the money. My room was clean, no nasty surprises at all. There was plenty of parking (a Sunday evening), and while it's true that at nineteen bucks it's pretty expensive, that's very standard for a downtown property, and the hotel does not actually run...

I stayed at the Howard Johnson with my boyfriend from January 29 to February 1, 2012. The hotel is clean, the staff are friendly and helpful, and the room was a fair size (as was the bathroom). We stayed in a single room with a double bed. Unfortunately, the area may not feel safe to everyone especially at night, but... More

The location of the hotel is great as it is situated in the heart of Downtown easy walking distance from all attractions and the main shopping area and... More

Came down for 10 days to volunteer for the Olympic Soccer qualifying, so price was the major factor. For the money it was excellent. It was just me, so the smallish room was fine, well kept, large bathroom, new flat screen tv, in room wifi which worked if a bit slow. The Restaurant/Pub is excellent too (Wings). Granville is a...
