    We booked this hotel last minute for the first weekend of the Olympics. Even though we had read the horrible reviews online, we had enough sense to see that they were from over a year ago, and furthermore according to the hotel's website, it had recently undergone a complete renovation.

    So, we took the risk and booked this hotel and were VERY PLEASED with the hotel. The staff was friendly, the rooms were clean and freshly painted.

    I have some more photos and details on my blog http://wp.me/pAHO3-kS

    For now, I will say that if you need a place to stay in Vancouver that has a great location. Nothing fancy, but definitely a good place to stay.

    So sad.  I was really pulling for this place.  This time, though.... a bit shambolic.  Twits behind the front desk, no follow-through with things we requested (basics - like "can the room safe work, please?" and "can the room have heat, please?"), nothing in the little kitchen but 4 plates, and when we requested a saucepan, that is all we got - no spoon or spatula or silverware or even an acknowledgement that we might need something else.

    Over a three night stay, nothing in the bathroom was replenished.  We used everything up, and that's okay - but wow.  For an "executive suite" that is SKIMPY.  Oh - and we got coffee the first day, but they never replenished that, either.  Nor did we get a 2nd day or 3rd day package of sugar and creamer.  And we only got one packet of each in the first place!

    In the bedroom, the linens were still clean, but we got two pillows.  Last year?  Four.  Interesting.

    Overall, I got the strong impression that they are not doing well and so are scrimping like MAD on absolutely everything.  But you still pay the same price.

    Also - hilariously - when we left some cups and plates in the sink the 2nd day, we got back to the room to find a bottle of Palmolive dishwashing liquid and a wash rag by the sink!  Bwa-hah-hah-hah-hah-hah-hah!!!!!  I mean seriously.  I am a do-it-myself gal who has PETITE expectations for "luxure" and "pampering" - but they wanted us to wash outr own coffee cups?  You joke me.

    The very last morning, the heat came on.

      I'm sort of "rounding up" to four stars because I think the Greenbrier deserves much better than… Read more »

    Its inexpensive and spacious. The linens are clean. They are super friendly and accomodating. Only downfalls for me was that the bathroom and "living room" area had an odd smell (like old damnpness & urine). I think this was due to wet furniture and/or wet cloth shower curtains. Also, the "pillow top mattress" has this plastic cover or something, and when I moved it made noise which was not sleep friendly.

    Spacious rooms, reasonable rates, great views, and an amazing location make the Greenbrier Hotel an ideal choice when visiting Vancouver. When I first moved to Vancouver, I stayed at the Greenbrier Hotel. Definitely recommend.
