English Bay Hotel
Room was straight out of the 70s . Clean but walls were peeling and the room was very out dated. Beds were comfy. Staff was really nice.

Radisson Blu Vancouver Airport Hotel & Marina
River Rock Casino Resort
Nice, spacious rooms. The pool and hot tub area were great with large boulders (not real) and a giant slide. The hotel is on the water and there’s a boardwalk around it. Very nice.
