Like most of the Burrard's younger clientele, I didn't spend much of my time there. The city beckons. The Burrard is in the heart of downtown Vancouver, within steps of the restaurants and entertainment that attract visitors.
The Burrard is a no frills, modern property oriented toward young people that provides a pleasant place to sleep.
The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful when I needed recommendations for when I wanted snacks and later a meal (the hotel itself lacks both). Both were literally within a half block.
I loved the "got better things to do" vibe of the place because I did have other things I was doing. If you want old-style amenities and luxury, then go to the Parker.
