Vancouver BC Hotel Help

[RobinC]

Now I can't remember who are Canadian friends are on the BB and if any of them are from Vancouver BC. :o

Here's the story. My darling BF and I are going up to Vancouver BC next weekend to meet a friend. We've never actually met in person and he's from Australia - but that's another story. :)

Anyway, our friend is staying at YWCA Hotel/Residence (733 Beatty Street). Can anyone recommend a hotel nearby for darling BF and I? Or is the YWCA a decent place to stay?

Thanks for any help!! :)

Hi Robin!

I live in Victoria but grew up in Vancouver. I have never stayed at the Y-I imagine the room would be clean and basic. I know this Y is quite new so it would be okay.
Vanocuver has hotels in every price.Here is a site to help you. I know the Holidday Inn downtown is quite central.

Hopefully some Vancouverites will check in (actually that would be Jen and kayaksoup-you could PM them!)

I have never actually been to the Y here in vancouver and I can't quite place where it is....:o There are so many hotels here for every price range. I know there are a few chain hotels in that general area that were freshly renovated - Holiday Inn/Ramada type places... Give me a few minutes and i will come up with something better:)

The Georgian court Hotel is Very nice, close to that area, 120$ canadian/night

Less Expensive, not as close, Howard Johnson Hotel :)
