It was clean, service was friendly, the amenities were present, and everything you'd expect from a decent room. However, if we were to be super picky; our room was front facing and it was loud. It didn't bother me because I had earplugs and I kind of like the sound of the city and the train. But if you're not used to that, it might be disruptive. The elevator smelled like cigarettes. The shower pressure was very weak, the worst I've experienced. The room temperature did not exceed 20ish Celsius. There was only one lamp for us. The fixture for the AC installment was just a piece of painted plywood. I would definitely come back. The location and neighborhood is great. It has everything one could need such as grocery store, movies, skytrain, restaurants, and other places to go. We got lucky with parking during the weekend. It's free from after 8pm to 12pm. But if we had to spend a weekday there, I wouldn't know where to park.

The lady at the front desk was very friendly. Our room was easy to find, but the parking lot is TIGHT. Be cautious if you have a larger vehicle. One thing that really irritated me - they advertise as pet friendly, and when I called to book, I specified that we needed a pet friendly room and was happy to pay the pet fee. When we arrived, we found that all the grass on the property had been ripped out - maybe they're updating it or something, I don't know. but they really should mention that. It was a real pain finding somewhere for my dog to do it's business - our options were a) in the parking lot or b) in the dirt. I just wish they had mentioned that there was no green space available. Oddly enough, the BEST part of our stay doesn't even exist according to their website. In the FAQs for the hotel it says that there is NOT a pool onsite, but there is. It is an outdoor heated pool and it was INCREDIBLE. The water was so warm, it was really lovely to float around in for a bit before bed.

And at the Element Vancouver, that is what we got. "Welcome you two to the Element Vancouver", no haggling over small details. We found our way to our room quickly, and soon appreciated the Element's proximity to Burnaby's many restaurants. You do realize that you are effectively in a major city, with ambulances carousing down Kingsway seemingly at all hours, and the elevators seemed to take forever to 'latch on' to their destination floors, but overall the experience was a positive one. Front desk staff friendly and able to provide with extra supplies. Free breakfast had plenty of fixings, and we had a friendly lady named Crystal give us some of the details of the building during one happy hour. The pool was nice, if a bit overrun by the hockey crowd on the Saturday we were there. Otherwise there were plenty of resources, and the washing and drying machines kept us from having to do laundry on our trip back to San Francisco. Well done, Element Vancouver!

So finding this hotel and paying $142 for a night was the only option that we have . We thought we would stay there for two nights until we leave . But as soon as we went in to see the room, it was very old, outdated and stinky room they gave us. It was midnight when we arrived so we had no choice but staying there for one night as what we paid for. We informed the girl at front desk that we will only stay for one night due to the problem. The Indian girl was showing bad attitudes with us and kept saying that they we have to stay two nights or they will charge another night using the $200 pre-authorization that they held as deposit. In the end, they still double charged us for the service that we did not use. With the attitude and poor facility, we did not reserve to double charge almost $300 for an old and stinky motel near Vancouver . We witnessed other customer were having some issues with that front desk girl as well. NEVER come back here , and thanks God I got out of this hotel !!!!!

This buffet offered items such as cinnamon rolls, eggs, hashbrowns, bacon, sausage, fresh fruit, and juice. Staff were very prompt to bus tables and replenish anything that was out of stock. The top items for me were the delicious pancakes, cinnamon rolls (served warm), and the fresh fruit. My biggest concern with this buffet was that they used disposable plates and utensils. This is absolutely terrible for the environment. I am not sure that I understand the reasoning behind this as a hotel surely has the capacity to run dishes through the dishwasher. Other than the disposable dish issue, I was happy with my meal.

There is a Starbucks on one side and a Tim Horton's on the other. Plenty of caffeine nearby for those of us who need to remain caffeinated. Shopping is connected by a skywalk, super convenient.

The lift, and I call it a lift because its not a modern elevator is a bit frightening. If the previous user doesn't close the elevator properly then you'll never be able to call that elevator to your floor. We needed a place to stay due while our place was being restored due to a fire and grateful for the hosts friendliness and essentric manner this place is not for you if you want a restful nights sleep. I'm a heavy sleeper and the commuter Skytrain who's charging by ever few minutes from about 530am to past midnight allowed me a bare few hours sleep in the comfortable bed. Arundel Manor is basic and has all the amenities one needs for a short stay. Built around 1912, this is not a sound proof building. The wifi is spotty, I would suggest a unit closer to the router, We were on the top floor so it was difficult to remain connected for long period of time. You can open the kitchen window light shaft to allow wifi to trickle in your unit but we had our pets with us and adraid they may sneak out to their demise. Our hosts even contacted their internet provider who said they gave them faster Internet but its made no difference to us in speed or being dropped. Another Yelper referred this place as a B&B, it's most definately not a B&B today.The elevator is often used as a storage locker. So it was quite fit that on the last week (when we gave the owner/manager notice, she wanted 1 weeks notice after we continually advised the wifi didn't work and the gas leak in our unit made our unit non functional) that we found mouse droppings in our kitchen cutlery drawer. At the time I stayed there the rate was $120/night or $490/week or $1600/month PLUS 12% HST. In comparison, the Courtyard Marriott Downtown was $123/night including full hot breakfast. So if you don't mind the noise and nuances of a very old building, and an owner that is only intersted in getting you checked in and taking your money and not following up with issues, this is the place for you. Dont forget to bring your VHS tapes, our room had a tube TV and VCR! Classic!

We had booked a house that was a bit away, but after the charming British couple arrived to sort out how Priceline could have billed us without a room available, they offered us accommodation at this hotel. It was a bit of a surprise as one of them actually drove us from the rental house to the hotel. This hotel is not something that you'd expect. While it's clean, it's not a modern building, the furniture and many of the fixtures are vintage to 1912. Clawfoot bathtubs have been patched, single-paned windows have painted-over locking mechanisms and no screens, no air conditioning to let you close the windows against the sounds of the freight trains nearby or the Sky Train that is literally next to the building. Water pressure and temperature varies, the elevator is an ancient thing with manual operating doors that don't automatically open or close (therefore if the previous user doesn't take care to close them, the elevator stays at the last floor indefinitely, and the elevator can arrive at your floor but be summoned away before you get a chance to open the door). However, if you want to be in an incredibly convenient location in a true hotel suite (living/dining room, separate large bedroom with king-sized bed, full kitchen with a full complement of cookware, and a cabinet in the dining area with a full tea set - did I mention the owners were English?) this is an amazing find. It is literally a block from the Sky Train station, shopping (including grocery stores) and restaurants are all around, as well as the river front boardwalk to explore.
