RCCLismyfav1 Posted January 16, 2008 #1 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Has anyone stayed at The Hampton Inn in Vancouver located on Robson Street? If so can you recommend a good room or suite? Experienced any bad rooms? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprinkles Posted January 28, 2008 #2 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Not sure if you're still looking for an answer. We stayed there two years ago and LOVED it, we had a jacuzzi corner room. Very comfortable beds, friendly staff. At the time they had a shuttle that would take you to several areas. The only downside could be described as the area, it was at the edge of a bad area. No problems whatsoever walking around during the day, but nighttime - we hurried back. I would stay there again in a heartbeat, especially if it was still in the $120 a night range.

emmak8 Posted February 4, 2008 #3 Share Posted February 4, 2008 What are the "bad" areas in Vancouver? Is the Hampton Inn within walking distance of Canada Place? ( Hotel says it is?) I would appreciate any other comments about this hotel. We will be in Vancouver May 8 to 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urban trekker Posted February 4, 2008 #4 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Yes it is within walking distance but with luggage you would probably want a taxi unless the hotel has a shuttle. The following link may help you see the distances etc. http://www.hotelsbythepier.com/index2.php?pier=vancouver-canada-place Hope this helps Cheers Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmak8 Posted February 4, 2008 #5 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Thank you, Dennis!!! The map is quite helpful. We'll surely need a taxi. EmmaK8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would appreciate any other comments about this hotel. We will be in Vancouver May 8 to 10. About a mile. http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=111+Robson+Street,+Vancouver,+BC&daddr=canada+place,+vancouver+bc&sll=49.260523,-123.113995&sspn=0.073716,0.166168&ie=UTF8&z=15&om=0 probably more than you want to walk with suitcases. Cab should be $8-10 tops. As for bad areas; the 'downtown east side' , roughly north of Dunsmuir and east of Cambie is not a place you want to be at night.

emmak8 Posted February 4, 2008 #7 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I was able to get a comparable rate at the Marriott Pinnacle. Holding both reservations while I do more homework. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
