Sandman Hotel Langley

We booked two rooms at the Sandman Langley to stay at while we visited family for the Easter weekend, along with a trip to the Vancouver Aquarium. It's a great location for a hotel, an easy walk to the Village at Thunderbird Centre that has a Shoppers Drug Mart, Fresh Street Market for groceries and many delicious take-out options, Brown's Social House, and the Colossus theatre nearby. The hotel has plenty of parking, front and back, the atmosphere when you walk in is nice and the front staff are friendly and helpful. The halls and rooms are clean and seemed updated with no signs of wear (compared to a stay at the Abbotsford Sandman last year that was terrible). The cleaning staff were professional and friendly. Despite being a long weekend, the hotel was quiet. Our rooms faced the highway and we were surprised it wasn't very noisy. I booked back in January when there was a limited-time members offer so the value for each night's stay was good. We were also upgraded to a suite with a kitchenette, from a two double bed room, because we were gold members. The room was spacious with a small table, a comfortable pull-out bed sofa and an armchair, along with a small fridge, microwave, a few dishes and cutlery and a coffee maker. We did have breakfast at Denny's twice and, well it's Denny's and nothing special, but it was convenient. A little pricey for three adults and two kids, just under $100 each time. I would recommend the Sandman Langley to anyone looking for a decent hotel at a fairly reasonable price.

Close to everything we wanted to do

Bed was a bit soft but we like a firmer bed Still slept ok

Staff was unable to provide an invoice as it was booked on booking.com. Booking.com said the hotel provides the invoices for customers

Friendly check in staff

Room smelled like cigarettes or wet carpets. Room was very dark and air vent smelled like cigarettes smell.

Room was too small.

The water in the shower could not be regulated, therefore not usable. The temp outside was over thirty and we had to shut off the air conditioner because it sounded like a chainsaw.
