Right next to Beacon Hill Park, the Royal BC Museum, and very close to downtown and great restaurants. Extremely pleasant staff, nice rooms and lobby and clean (I was a hotel maid once myself, so I notice). Excellent prices for the quality of the rooms. I’ve recommended it to several friends already.
