WONDERFUL WEEKEND IN VANCOUVER
by LoriPori about BEST WESTERN CHATEAU GRANVILLE
Thursday, Friday, Saturday & Sunday, May29, 30,31 & June 1, Hans and I were in Vancouver and stayed at the BEST WESTERN CHATEAU GRANVILLE. Since we did not want to worry about finding a place when we got there, we made reservations ahead of time. It turned out to be an excellent choice, as we were right downtown Vancouver, close to shops, restaurants, the Harbour and to our friends' condo, two blocks away in the Harbour District Our room was a good size, with a queen size bed and bathroom. Since we were on the 10th floor, we had a good view of downtown Vancouver and the hustle & bustle of a busy city. The Lobby staff were friendly, courteous and helpful with our questions. Our prearranged price was $99.00 per night plus taxes, plus $7.00 per day for parking.

Howard Johnsons is a renovated hotel in the downtown area. Have heard that it is not that nice. Bosman's is ok, but you could do better. Check with Ramada, they have a hotel across the street from the Howard Johnson's,there is also a Ramada on Pender St. and they are much nicer, would suggest the one on Pender St over the one across from the Howard Johnson's on Granvlle. There is also a Best Western located on Granville at Drake which is fairly new, not the Best Western Chateau Granville. Also you might consider the Days Inn in downtown on Pender St, it is very well located and in a quite area, but very near all the shops and waterfront. There is also a Courtyard by Marriott in the same area, Hornby near Davie St, and one other suggestion would be the Sandman, on Georgia St. Two weeks is too much time to spend in Vancouver. You could spend 5 or 6 days and see it all. There are however day trips which one could take. Whistler, Victoria, each of these is worth an overnight. Welcome to Vancouver, and have a great holiday here. If you need any other advice email me. Happy to help

I think 2 weeks would be a little too long (depends on your interests). A couple of days of shopping would probably be enough then maybe 4 or 5 more to see the sights around the city would be good. Although, if you are into hiking and other outdoor activities there is enough to keep you busy for a few months.

You may find the clientele at Bosmans a bit too late night for you. I agree with The Days Inn on Pender. Also look at The Best Western Sands on Davie www.rpbhotels.com
5-6 days should suffice in Vancouver as suggested. If you like golf, have a look at The Falls http://www.thefalls.bc.ca
