TripAdvisor Traveler Rating
very small room
OnAir115403 on May 27, 2025
For the price we paid (including a surcharge on one night because we unknowlingly booked right before a Canadian holiday) we had hoped for something larger and maybe even breakfast. (The front desk told us... that if we wanted an upgrade we should have come in February or March.) The bathroom was tiny -- on a par with airplane restrooms: no counter space to speak of. The tub had no safety features like a non-skid mat and a grab bar. And the thermostat seemed to have a mind of its own. The Georgia in Vancouver was infinitely better; the Fairmont in Seattle was a bit bigger and included breakfast.
Comfortable hotel
