Tropicana Suite Hotel

The location was unquestionably a positive as it was close to downtown Vancouver and the events that we were taking part in. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The check out time was 11, but due to the event we were taking part in, we needed to keep our car parked in the hotel lot for an extra hour. We were allowed to do so and were not charged. Our hotel room was spacious; it was likely an apartment hotel and so we had a kitchen with fridge, stove and necessary dishes, pans and cutlery. The appliances had definitely seen a better day, but they worked and so we were able to cook our evening meal. BTW, there's a small H Mart just south on Robson just a short walk from the hotel, where we were able to get items for our dinner. If you're not into cooking, there are several excellent restaurants not far away. Great view from our hotel room! One more attractive feature was that there was plenty of parking available in the hotel lot and it was free! Overall, despite the aged appearance of the hotel, there are enough positives to count this hotel as good value for the price.

The hotel itself is in rough shape. As noted above, it's likely has been an apartment-hotel (and possibly still is as we spoke with a couple of people who seemed to be tenants). The elevator was in sad shape and when we exited the elevator on our floor, we noted the fluorescent lighting was flickering giving the hallway a Stephen King vibe. The doors to the rooms were scuffed up and some were chipped. The rooms are in dire need of upgrading. They were fairly clean, though I did find some child's stuffed toy on the floor in the dust behind the nightstand in the bedroom (how long has it been there?).

Location, staff and parking.

The facility was old and shabby. The microwave in the kitchenette was broken, the coffee pot handle melted. The drapes and carpet very worn.

The location, the staff all friendly

Outdated but its okay

Location was perfect. Tub, toilet and sheets were clean. Bare minimum.

This hotel is in much need of repair and renovation. Dirty rugs, sofa. Curtains and wallpaper (torn). Barely functioning toaster, broken fridge handle with sharp edges. No towel racks in the bathroom. Decor has not been upgraded for many decades. Seems like they are waiting for zoning and funding to tear down and rebuild. If not, it's a travesty that it is allowed to stay open.
