Great hotel with a wonderful pool/hot tub area. Nice having the casino that had restaurants. Amazing having the Bridgeport terminal right there for easy transportation. Our suite was spectacular with 2 rooms. So much space for a three night stay. Staff were all nice.

Pan Pacific Vancouver
There were mice scurrying all over the restaurant floor while we were having a drink. The staff know all about it and no one seems to care. It’s extremely unsanitary and disgusting while you’re trying to eat a meal. Won’t be staying there again
