The pool was nice and is definitely kid friendly. As we found out the price was pretty reasonable for what you got, compared to Dennys and White Spot.

The breakfast buffet had a lot of options, but if you came down late the pancakes/waffles were on the dry side. Was disappointed there was no bath tub, just a shower, but the bathroom was very nice. Our room was very nice and the beds were comfortable. The parkade was pretty busy, but we usually found a parking spot on the second floor (free parking). It was confusing at first where we could park to check in, but the valet service person let us know we could park for 20 minutes free while we checked in. Its clean, convenient and pleasant to stay at with many amenities in the area - including a big Costco that's only a 10 min walk away. I would definitely consider staying here again. But they have a nice boardwalk around the property that is adjacent to a boat dock with many yachts to dream about owning one day. The casino is the casino, nothing different there than anywhere else. They even have a maintenance person standing by and cleaning up the facilities on a regular basis, very impressed. The pool is huge with a waterslide and the gym is massive (for a hotel), probably 3 times bigger than an average hotel gym with brand new equipment. it was built within the last 10 years, so everything is new. Definitely went out of the way to find suitable rooms for you - based on the price you pay. Besides that, the front desk was helpful and really friendly. The main bonus for us is that it was only 1 stop away from the Airport, so it was perfect location for our needs to get to the airport early the next day.

So it was convenient and economical to hop on and take a short 20 min ride downtown. Although it is located in Richmond, which isn't exactly what the pictures depict in the magazines of what Vancouver is 'supposed' to look like, it's located at a SkyTrain Station. Stayed here twice during a layover down to Vegas.
