    On a start to a very long road trip Sacramento, Ca to Prudhoe Bay, AK  we decided to treat ourselves to a nice hotel before we headed to isolation. This place was worth every cent spent, beautiful hotel, very modern, close to the waterfront and downtown area. Staff very helpful & friendly. Room clean, comfortable, and quiet. Jacuzzi and pool area nice, business center helpful for internet usage. I would recommend to anyone traveling to Vancouver to stay here!

    Coast Hotels are gorgeous. This particular hotel offered me the full range of what I needed.

    We conference in the meeting rooms, very close to some great dinning and they stored my bags for a few days while I made my way over the bridge.

    Simply amazing service will bring me back.

    Booked the place via Hotwire and was not sure what to expect for a 4 star rating.  Overall, the place was clean quite and a great value for a downtown location...did I mention clean?  I stay in many hotels and this place was spotless... You actually felt clean BEFORE entering the shower...I would definitely stay again under reduced rates from Hotwire (97.00  / night) plus tax.

    Downtown location so there is access to a nice beachfront walk, grocery store (Urban Fare) and a restaurant attached which served a great breakfast ....full menu and the "The Coaster" is a great value with a serving of any choice of  juice, coffee, eggs to your preference, toast, Yukon Gold roast potatoes and choice of meat plus a fruit  salad for $15 bucks!  Unbeatable for a downtown location.

    Stayed here for 4 days.  LOVED EVERY SINGLE MINUTE!  

    The service is impeccable!!  Perfection!  We always had someone helping us with our bags and our car.  If I had a question, it was answered immediately and thoroughly.  

    I had booked this hotel through Priceline was and nervous about what hotel we were going to get.  SCORE!

    This hotel is clean, modern, friendly, and very close to everything.

    Our room had 2 double beds.  The beds are SO SOFT AND COMFORTABLE.  We had no problems with our heat/ac and the water pressure in the shower was fantastic!!!  

    Love the flat screen tv and the floor-to-wall windows and the blackout curtains.

    Would definitely stay here again!!  Truly loved the service!!!

    A great place to stay if you are in Vancouver.  

    We did not have a car while we were visiting Vancouver but the hotel seemed to be within easy walking distance to everything that we wanted to see/ visit.  

    The hotel is about a 30 minute walk from the Aquarium, 10 minute walk to Robson, 8 minute walk to the skytrain station, 5 minute walk from Canada Place/ Olympic Cauldron.

    Decor is clean and simple - very zen-ish.

    Bed linens are clean, lighting is relatively bright, no icky feeling whatsover.  

    We got a great deal off expedia.  Unfortunately our friend from Spain booked right from the hotel's site and paid something like $200ish/ night - significantly more than what we paid.  

    This is a fantastic and budget friendly place to stay while you are in Vancouver.  We will definitely book here again if we come back!  :)

    No bed bugs here!  Modern decor, comfy beds with a down comforter and pillows.  Great to come back to after a long day of exploring.

    I got a great deal to this hotel through hotwire at $82 a night so i'm not going to complain about the price, otherwise, this hotel can run you $130+ a night.

    Coast Coal is a eco friendly hotel that offers free wifi!  Yes!  I am not closed off from the world.  It's in a convenient location that's in walking distance to a lot of the local attractions and touristy spots.  The free shuttle to the Capialano Suspension bridge even has a stop right across the street.  

    The room itself is spacious with a decent sized bathroom.  Full length glass paned windows was a whole wall so there were great views and made getting out of bed easier.  The walls are a little thin though because I could hear my neighbors flush their toilets.  At least it wasn't moaning because that would have been awkward.  

    I checked out their gym and pool...didn't use them though.  Decent equipment so if you are afraid of putting on the pounds on vacation, you can get yourself a good workout here.  

    Only one restaurant on site, Preston's.  I didn't eat there but passed by it every night coming back from the day.  They were always busy and I think on Saturday night, they turned into a lounge/club.  There is also a nail salon right next to Preston's so for you ladies who need to get your nails did, you know where to go.  

    Definitely a great place to stay on vacation...and it helps that the staff is friendly and eager to give you suggestions on where to go, eat and play!

    The moment you pull up to the valet you feel you are entering a modern hotel.  The lobby check in area is swanky, hip and spacious.  Very efficient check in process.  Once up to the room floors it is reminiscent of a boutique hotel with all the amenities of a big chain hotel.  Loved the decor, the sound proofing was fantastic.  Showers are always a big pet peeve of mine but the room has the big shower heads with great pressure and spacious bathrooms not to mention plush oversize bath towels.

    They even took time to be sure the workout facilities were not an afterthought.  There is modern equipment in a bright space with several flat screen TVs.  There is a locker/shower room and two out door heated lap pools.  Pretty nice and not what I have come to expect for a Coast Hotel.

    Great value for the money you should consider this property for your next stay in Vancouver.  It is in a great location and you will not be disappointed that you chose this place to rest your head each night.

    New hotel! Eco friendly. Free wifi! Comfortable beds. Nice views. Decent location. Great hotel!

    A little farther from the nightlife but I like the peace and quiet. it's just a stone's throw away from Robson Street and Gastown. Fairly centrally located.

    We got a great rate so this place is totally worth it. Parking is pricey though. $28 per day valet with free in/out. The bill for one night came out to be $150.

    This is a relatively new hotel, I think now more than 2 years. It's very clean which is important to me because hotels are notoriously ick so I can't deal with seeing a gross room and all.

    Anyways, the lobby and entrance are beautiful, the room was nice, Surprisingly roomy. And I liked the bathroom. It was a good size, but I suppose nothing special.

    Now, I may be kind of an oddball, but I liked the fact that the view was of an office building. You could quite literally look into a meeting. Maybe it's the exhibitionist in me, but I dig it.

    I suppose the location isn't ideal. I typically stay closer to the entertainment/shopping districts. I was in town to see a concert (A siiiiiick concert, btw) at the Vogue Theatre so we had to taxi between the hotel and theatre.

    Oh, and I thought $35 for parking was a bit much so since we were going to have to taxi back and forth either way, we parked over by Granville and saved a good $10. Is it much? No, but mehh, dollaz is dollaz right?

    I got a pretty decent rate for this hotel, about $110 out the door.

    I really enjoyed my stay here. The hotel is only a couple years old, so all the decor still feels very new and fresh. Service was pleasant, and the hotel is in a great location. I was able to walk to the core and to Stanley park in minutes. I felt very comfortable here. The in-house nail and hair salon (I was told by the owner that the business is in fact seperate from the hotel, but is in the building and is offered as a service by the hotel) is great; I got one of the best mani/pedis I've ever had. The restaurant, Preston's (also where room service comes from) has great staff but very mediocre food. I was not impressed with the food (most seemed frozen/reheated) or the price, and I ate both in the restaurant and in-room.

    Overall the hotel itself is great. Just luxurious enough to make you feel pampered, but not enough to push it into an unreasonable price point.

    I'm pretty particular when it comes to other beds that I sleep in.

    This is a new hotel (thus I have to actually do some work to list this place), in the relatively quiet corner of Coal Harbour - an obscure location if you will just a few buildings down from the Marriott's.

    It's a minimalist design. As soon as you walk in you see that it's very simple. There's a certain elegance in that.

    Jeremiah did a great job checking me in and explaining some things, and giving me an upgrade to a corner room :P. Thanks man.

    The room is a very Japanese design like some of the hotels I've stayed in over there. The room size is normal, there is a great work desk space there, the bed is not a Westin Heavenly, but is firmer, and surprisingly comfy.

    The bathroom is nice sized (towels enough for four peeps - although in one of the towels, after I got out of the shower, I found had a long hair on it ....) but everything in that room was super - with a good shower head.

    AND I got a great deal. Thanks TravelZoo not just for the deal, but also for putting this hotel on the radar for me!

    Went for a great run in the morning, despite the cold, damp weather around the seawall - and there is no better feeling ... it ended a great stay in a humble hotel.

    We stayed at Coast Coal Harbour Hotel during our Vancouver vacation.  It was mostly a pleasant experience and all of my snooty hotel criterion were met at Coast (let's face it, women are generally snooty about hotels), such as cleanliness, attention to detail, nice amenities, and location.  The hotel is right off of the bay and our room had a partial bay view, both convenient and nice to have such a wonderful view.  My only complaint is that I was bitten by something in my sleep (I have a scar from it now) - I generally would rate this place lower because of the bug bite, however, the staff went above and beyond to return a few things that my boyfriend had left behind in the hotel room.

    Stayed a night here two weeks back with a LA Yelper for a short two day trip to the area. Since they'd just finished completing all the work on the hotel, we were able to get a great deal for a double room at $100 (less than half the usual price). What can I say - the hotel was nice, located in a good and relatively quiet part of town, was still within walking distance of awesome places like Guu, and had awesomely comfy pillows and beds.

    A few things that irked me were that the hotel was valet only at $28 a night (though you do get unlimited in/out privileges), and the water pressure in the shower was a joke (but I did appreciate the roll-in shower of the handicapped room) Also, while the whole eco-friendly thing is great and commendable, I did wonder briefly about the cleanliness of the large communal/shared bottles of shampoo and body wash (that said, they did also provide the standard tiny individual bottles). Would I stay here again? Yes, assuming I'd find another great deal like this one.

    We stayed at Coast Coal Harbour before our Alaskan cruise.
    We had a corner room that was floor to ceiling glass windows. Nice quiet neighborhood. We took advantage of the Wedding in Vancouver discount. We did not eat at  the hotel restaurant but did use the pool. It is clean, new, modern. They had a clock that had a docking station for an Ipod.  The staff was very helpful to get us a cab and directions. Trolley stop is just down the street. Short walk to Robson St. (3 blocks) Would totally agree to recommend it.

    Love this hotel! Its clean, quite and very convenient to food, Stanley Park, and about a 7min walk to the convention center.  I love the floor to ceiling windows, blackout drapes and a fantastic shower.  The staff was VERY nice.  The day I checked out, they let me keep my car in valet for the whole day while I was out and about in Vancouver without charging me extra. They even put my luggage in my car for me.  It was great and I cant wait to stay there again.

    Chose this hotel because of its proximity (short walk) to the conference center, and the reasonable price since we were staying a week. Appreciated the eco-friendly vibe, although several times they replaced my towels even though I'd hung them up to be re-used. Friendly staff, excellent service. The pool didn't look inviting - tiny and on display to all the offices looming over it in the building next door. But all in all a solid choice for visiting Vancouver on business.

    PRO: This hotel is very clean and modern!  It is located at walking distance from the ocean.  I had a "comfort room" with 2 double bed. I didn't have ocean view, but had decent window view.  The room is small, but comfortable. The bath tab is deep enough to fill out hot water to take a good bath.   Good Wi-Fi access.  CON: No refrigerator in the room, but they have ice & vending machine room. Parking is not included and very expensive; $28.  We parked at the next door "Marriott Hotel" public parking.  We just paid $6 for 2 days Sat & Sun (weekend special?)
