You can often find brochures and deals for the Howars Johnson inVancouver while travelling on the ferry to and from Victoria. Likewise when you go the other way you should look at the deals fro Traveller's Inn.
Howard Johnson was clean, had big rooms and cable. it was right downtown next to the Granville Bridge and you can catch buses or walk easily right from the front door.

I liked this hotel overall. The interiors were nice. The staff was very helpful. There was a tasty restaurant in the lobby of the hotel.
But... heavy construction was going on right behind our room, forcing me to wake up at 7AM. Also this hotel is located in the nightclub district, which may be a nuisance for some older travellers. There seemed to be a high proportion of street people asking for change and hoodlums loafing about waiting to make deals.
All in all it wasn't horrible though, since the customer service was exceptional. Next time though, I will probably book in a shopping district instead of on this street.
I expect with the amount of new construction occuring in Vancouver, the future street scene may change for the better.

Would recommend this place. Good price for a room and surprisingly clean and well decorated. Outside could be a little grimy so it was a pleasant surprise to see the interior so appealing.
Nice looking lobby with fashionable looking decor. Hallways had historical photos of Vancouver from the past so also educational stay. Bed was nice and firm with good pillows. Very comfortable night's rest. Well kept bathroom. Lots of things to see and do outside.
