Hotel Recommendation For Vancouver Cruise Port

[iiplus]

Cruising out of Vancouver later this month. We need recommendation for hotel Airbnb and method of travel to cruise port. We’ve disembarked in Vancouver; this is our first time cruising from Vancouver. 
thanks

Will you be flying into Vancouver Airport or arriving by some other means?  Are you wanting to stay for a couple days to explore the area or just coming in for the cruise?  I ask because there are lots of good places to stay depending on if you want very close proximity to the cruise port, or close proximity to the airport so you can just relax as soon as you arrive in the city.

Hi @iiplus:  Here's a good basic site to give you some ideas that's backed up by other cruisers... https://allcruisehotels.com/blog/best-hotels-near-vancouver-cruise-port/#port

- warning:  Vancouver hotels are NOT cheap, even NYC near Times Square will net you better deals, but it is what it is.  I would suggest staying at an hotel near the airport as it's quieter and getting an Uber or taxi will be easy 1/2 hr trip (barring any traffic incidents/construction issues) and most likely cheaper than one close to the cruise port even if within walking distance.  I used to live down there quite a few years ago but haven't needed to stay in town for quite a while.

Another suggestion is if you belong to any discount or coupon type site like Groupon or Travelzoo or Hotwire etc, take a look for random hotel deals in the city.  I use those sites a lot when we only need a room for the night and all we want is a good sleep without worrying about sightseeing possibilities.  If you are checking out AirBnB - British Columbia has enacted laws to limit their availability because there is an affordable housing shortage here and short term rentals have exacerbated the problem.  Make sure you are getting a legally allowed/licenced space so you don't have any problems.  Best wishes and bon voyage!
