Review from SARA S.
3/3/2010
Sitting on the outskirts of an area reminicent of Chinatown, the Cassandra Hotel serves as an inexpensive option for tired travelers.
Booking through http://hotels.com, I snagged a superior queen room for a mere $58 after tax and fees.
The lobby staff was definitely new, it took a bit of training and shuffling around to get things squared away, but they were nice and apologetic- and it's not like I was in a big hurry anyway.
We got a room on the third floor with a gorgeous view of the surrounding neighborhood and mountains.
It was roomy and equipped with a desk, love seat, mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker, and cable television (although the remote did not work).
Maybe it was post-Olympics celebration, but we heard a bunch of guys conversing awfully loud down the hall that night, it was kind of irritating, so we went down to the hot tub.
They have a large hot tub and sauna open until 11pm, but first you must venture down to the lobby and ask for the key, (which wasn't so bad, but while returning the key I had some shady guy in a business suit staring at me).
They have a controlled access parking lot under the hotel; nobody gets in without a room key.
Getting out was more of a challenge, apparently you have to trigger some sort of hidden censor, but we eventually got out!
All in all it was a pretty good experience, the room was clean, no mystery stains- (although there was a used hand towel waiting for us in the bathroom)- other than that it was great. -

I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. I found it online and four of us stayed for about $72 with all the fees. Overall a great value and good for someone on a budget.
The room was clean and attractive.
Staff was courteous, but not friendly.
Lot of places to eat nearby, many open 24 hours.
Downsides:
Breakfast was very minimal, even as a continental breakfast. A costco muffin, juice box and a rice krispy snack ahdned to you across the counter. No place to eat it, except in the room. They made each of us come down to get it.
We were in a corner room and our "Free wifi" worked only when we were right by the door to the room or in the bathroom.
I can't speak for Vancouver in general, or even Canada, but it was a lot of driving on city streets to get there from a major highway. -

the staff makes it all worthwhile
CONS:
older hotel
worn-out fixtures and appliances
clean, but not spotless, a few holes in the walls here and there
various little things not worth listing -
Review from Muigi L.

Staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Stayed for 4 nights, purchased 3 day wireless internet for $15 and gave an extra day for free. If it's raining, they have umbrellas you can borrow. Continental breakfast doesn't have a dining area since it's being renovated so they give you juice and pastries in a bag. After the first time, you get an idea of what you like, and they had no problem giving my preferred breakfast pastry or more than one. Work out area is a bit pitiful since most of the equipment doesn't not work properly. It's within walking distance of the sky train and the room was quite large for the price we paid with a view of the mountains. TV is a bit outdated (no flat screen), but bathroom was decent. They provide shampoo and conditioner packets, and bar soap. Water pressure was good. Would definitely stay here again.
