this place is close to the freeway and close to the chinese plazas. double win! the staff here are courteous, there's lots of parking, facility is clean, free wifi, flight check in booth at the office, and most importantly the ROOMS ARE CLEAN. i'm not a picky traveler. i don't need a 5-star resort to complete my vacation. all i ask is a hotel room where i don't feel like something's gonna crawl out from under the bed while i'm sleeping. this place gave me a good night's rest.

Often when I travel, it is a mixture of business and pleasure so it is always nice to find a hotel that offers the resources to work, with the comfort and escapism needed to fully relax and enjoy time off.
One such place is the Accent Inns Airport Hotel in Richmond B.C. Located close to the airport and several bars and restaurants, the hotel is a comfortable place for travelers to stay for both business and leisure.
My first night at the hotel underscored the versatility of the locale as I was able to plug into the free internet access and work while I relaxed in one of the hotels suites. The spacious front room included a work desk, phone, chairs, as well as the usual couch and table. What really gave the unit a home away from home feel was the inclusion of a mini fridge, stove, and microwave aside from the standard television.
A door separated the front room from the hallway that lead to the bathroom and bedroom. The bedroom was very comfy and also included a television as well as closet space and a clock radio and telephone.
The hotel paid attention to little details like including a fire extinguisher in the room, as well as stocked cupboards that included pots, pans, flatware, cups, and more to allow guests to cook from their unit. This came in very handy when my wife arrived Friday night and wanted to try some of the leftover from the previous night.
My first night in the hotel was hectic for me, as I had to login to find where I was supposed to go on a film set the next day and the helpful staff not only provided me with directions to the desired locale but also a connection cable for my laptop so I could access my e-mail from my room. (The hotel also has free net access in the lobby as well as a flight check in terminal).
As anyone can tell you, working with films can be very tiring as was the case with me and an early morning set call. As soon as the days shooting was done, I had to get downtown to pick up my wife who was traveling in that night due to a schedule conflict that prevented her from coming up with me the previous night. You can imagine how after a early morning and full day on set, as well as a drive during rush hour over a holiday weekend downtown and back, we were ready to relax.
The hotel once again had everything we could want with a relaxing hot tub, and a spacious and quiet room to return to after dining at the onsite Howard Johnson's
The next morning required me to be up to speak at a conference at a nearby hotel and once again the staff was dead on with directions which allowed me to be back to the room by 1:00PM so we could finally relax and enjoy our weekend.
After spending the day at the Vancouver Aquarium and beautiful Stanley Park, we were worn down and ready for a quiet evening in.
Once again the hotel stepped up as we were able to get dinner and eat in our room, while we relaxed on the couch. Most hotels only offer limited cable stations, but the Accent had a full range of the local stations and we were able to watch the season premiere of Battlestar Galactica instead of having to wait until we returned. I mention this as many people at the conference bemoaned that their fancy and very costly hotel did not offer the network that carried the show in their rooms.
It is little touches like this that allow for guests to unwind, as when they are away from home, they want to know that comforts they are used to at home, can be easily obtained should they desire them.
The room also included free local calls and pay per view movies and games. Simply put, this was one of the most enjoyable stays I have ever had and the versatility of the hotel to handle both my business and tourist needs was superior to most hotels including the more posh hotels with very high rates that say they cater to business guests but nickel and dime you for everything from calls to net access.
Updated December 2008
I got the chance to visit the hotel again in December and was amazed at some nice changes that were in place since I last visited in October. The newest addition was the flat screen television in the main room.

History
Established in 1988
The father and daughter team of Terry and Mandy Farmer are the people who run Accent Inns. This is not one of those huge chains that really only values the bottom line. At Accent Inns we have values, all right, but they're more like family values. The room you'll stay in will be spotlessly clean, the bed really comfy, and you'll be taken care of by some of the friendliest staff you'll ever meet . You're going to feel at home here. We pride ourselves on the fact that we're different from other hotels. In our restaurants, for example, you get a great meal in a pleasant atmosphere at a fair price. Imagine. We don't charge for Wireless Internet and parking is free. So is the morning paper, local calls and email access in the lobby kiosks. In the winter we'll warm you up with free cookies and hot chocolate. In the summer we drape our hotels in hundreds of hanging baskets. These are little things, maybe, but our guests tell us they make all the difference in the world.
