Little action at night in the area
The GEC Granville (formerly a Best Western) operates both as student housing and as hotel accommodations. Located in downtown Vancouver, western Canada's financial center, it has 143 bright, decent-sized rooms with flat-screen TVs, iPod docks, and in many rooms, microwaves and mini-fridges. But the decor is generic, and bathrooms are nothing special. The property features a fitness center with great downtown views, a Jacuzzi, gated parking, and great freebies, including Wi-Fi, shuttle service to any downtown attraction, and bike rentals. Overall, it’s a solid pick for value.
Location
In the southern part of Downtown Vancouver, near lively Robson Square and the subway
Downtown Vancouver is the financial and commercial hub of the city. It’s bustling during the weekdays, when tourists and locals fill the streets -- but empties out at night and on the weekends. However, the Robson Square complex, located five blocks northeast of the property, is always lively, featuring restaurants, shops, bars, and the Vancouver Art Gallery. The subway is located five blocks from the hotel.- 24-minute drive to Vancouver International Airport
