Review of SANDMAN HOTEL DOWNTOWN VANCOUVER

4 years ago

Positives:

Positives:

- It has a coffee machine, I enjoyed that.
- The sheets are soft, better than average.
- Good blinds for keeping the light out!

Negatives:

- Construction outside of my window was extremely loud early in the morning... So loud I couldn't sleep through it. If you know that is the case, perhaps provide earplugs to your guests proactively, vs being woken up by a jack hammer...
- Internet is really bad. I work remote, so as you can imagine, being connected to internet is important! 3 mb download, and not even 1mb upload. This is embarrassing for a hotel in the 21st century in a major city. I had to resort to using my cell phone which is costly...
- Walls have marks all over it.
- one lamp in my room didn't work, and the other flickers on and off...
- not enough outlets for my laptop... had to unplug the TV to make things work.

Conclusion:

The location is really good, and that's what mattered to me. I'm a shocked by all the problems I listed above, for the most part these are just things that modern hotels have, but obviously this hotel is in desperate need for a renovation. If they did that, and fixed these problems it'd be a great place.
