Vancouver hotels near Olympic Cauldron

Cons: Maybe the time of year (October) but we had hungry bees in the courtyard one evening having complimentary wine and cheese plates. We moved inside to the awesome living room and chatted with folks from Scotland. All good. I would not hesitate to return.

Cons: Not much we didn't like. It was a bit pricey but we felt we got great value considering it is a luxury property.

Cons: Pool too small and no life, concierge only so so

Cons: Loved everything about it. Will be back!

Cons: A balcony would be nice

Cons: Decor is a little cheesy. No bathtubs unless you are in the top tier of room. Shower shelf placed in an awkward spot. Window looked into an office building. Hair dryer cord is so short it is almost unusable.

Cons: Internet charge was a little outrageous

Cons: Had my reservation for a king sized bed, and when I entered the room, it was 2 doubles. Went down to get it changed, and the staff member (Elena?) said the rooms were fully booked and said that "the king sized was just a request". I persisted that I reserved a king and paid the price for a king, which was clearly printed on my reservation confirmation. She went to the back room to check with her manager, and finally came back out to change my room to a king size bed. It was a little troubling to have to put up a fight to get what I had reserved.

Cons: Nothing

Cons: Extra charge for everything. food is very expensive

Cons: The fact that the room felt somewhat expensive and still charged for wifi and water. No free breakfast as well

Cons: Late night room service options.

Cons: The water and shower were strange. Hot water ran out of the cold faucet in the sink for a full minute before it got cold, every time. Temperature of the shower and strength of the stream were from the same dial, so to get good pressure you had to sacrifice comfort. Truly bizarre. You need better signage downstairs to find the front desk. Usually they're on the ground floor. One of the down elevators was out, so we had a long wait because the first one working was full. $4.50 for bottles of water in the room? No way! There should be 2 complimentary water bottles, which you get in other fine hotels. And there is no convenience store nearby which stocks good water at a reasonable price. The (excellent) TV in the room was set at an odd angle, you have to twist your neck to view. Channel selections did not include Fox Business, which has higher ratings than CNBC; and MLB Network, which has baseball coverage other than the Toronto Blue Jays. And if you must burn half a dozen channels on French language programming, it's time to expand channel capacity. The three dinner restaurants had problems, in addition to high prices. The bar which had such good recorded music at lunch had a terrible, whiny live folksinger performing. We had to leave. The top premium restaurant was closed for a special event, and the third was expensive and you could still hear the awful folksinger because there was no wall. We wound up dining at the hotel across the street. You don't want people walking in there, do you? Finally, and most annoyingly, there was a fifteen minute waiting queue for a taxicab when we were leaving for the airport. The cab driver explained that the problem was all the cabs were handling cruise ship traffic. Well, this must happen most days, and you need to do something about it besides having an older doorman losing a battle with the hotel across the street (and customers down the street) for the attention of the taxis. You should probably warn your guests in advance of the problem, and provide a list of private local cars/limos and the URL of the Vancouver version of Uber as alternatives. And hire a sexy young woman to replace the older gent because if cabbies in Canada are anything like those in the U.S., they won't make sharp U-turns to avoid a beautiful woman making sharp whistling sounds.

Cons: Sofa bed was the worst I have ever slept on. Neighborhood not good either

Cons: Vending machine unavailable. Ice machines difficult to locate. Lobby furniture not inviting. Carpeting difficult to roll luggage on.

Cons: Neighborhood is in transitional neighborhoods. One block away is sketchy

Cons: no problems

Cons: Needs a larger restaurant

Cons: This is solidly a two-star hotel. Admittedly this is my first and last experience in a Delta Hotel. There was nothing that I was used to experiencing in other Marriott-brand hotels. The room was spacious but the positives ended there. The "suite" was really an urban 1-br meaning there was a 3/4 wall dividing the bedroom from the living space, so we had to be super quiet once our baby went down for the night. Definitely not "suite". The room was clean-ish, but definitely dingy, maybe this was due to the age of the hotel. Definitely in need of an update. The mattress was VERY uncomfortable...surprising since this is usually the strong point at a Marriott. The couch was falling apart, the upholstery was separating at the seams and felt as though I was sitting directly on the hide-away frame beneath. The fixed shower pipe jutting from the wall was low and angled awkwardly sideways, making it difficult to aim the showerhead properly. I am only 6' and I had to contort myself awkwardly to wet my hair. We left a day early since we were not comfortable.

Cons: Price goes up if you try to stay an extra day

Cons: Would have preferred a loveSeat to the two arm chairs in the room.

Cons: The toilet in our bathroom was located immediately in front of the sink which made access to the sink a bit awkward. New bathrooms are small.

Cons: could use some remodeling and updating of furniture and facilities generally

Cons: That they did not have a shuttle service from the airport or to port as we were there for a cruise. Although you could walk from hotel, it was a bit difficult with cruise luggage.

Cons: Breakfast, toiletries, quality of towels, no slippers or robe.. overall not a luxury hotel or even 4 star.. more like a 3.5

Cons: Parking company associated with Delta Vancouver were terribly rude and unprofessional. Parking attendants were not friendly nor helpful at all. They made coming in and out of the parking structure frustrating and annoying.

Cons: Offered upgrade at checkin for better room and continental breakfast and evening snacks. Food was mostly mediocre. Room was nice with deck, but near lounge area and heard doors close constantly.

Cons: My room was clean, which was most important, but it really needed updating.

Cons: I had to wait half an hour for taxi at 5am Sunday. Would think that a Fairmont hotel would have arrangements with taxi companies. Many people waiting and frustrated thinking they miay miss flights

Cons: The directions to the hotel should be more specific. The main address of the hotel is on a street which does not have any valet or concierge presence. We had to go inside to figure out how to get to the main car entrance of the hotel. Also, the parking prices (50$ per day) should be mentioned upfront so that there are no surprises

Cons: Was promised a room with a city view, got a second floor that looked at a wall.

Cons: Parking is about $40 and wifi was $25. I would suggest this hotel for business men looking for an extended stay. The room smelled a little musty but that is expected for an older hotel.

Cons: During my stay the hotel was undergoing major renovation. During such a period, guests should be given compensatory concessions. When breakfast is served in meeting space, the prices should be lower. When there's no proper lobby or normal restaurant offerings open, guests should be given discount vouchers for nearby restaurants or a complimentary drink at the bar. When the hotel entrance is a construction site, make it up to the guests with a turndown lagniappe. Most of all be truthful. If a guest is told he is getting a renovated room, don't bill it him in a room with old and tired soft goods. Your TV screens are also smaller than current luxury hotel standards.

Cons: Rooms are old. Poor service at reception. No Accor rewards points received as an Accor Hotel member because my reservation was paid through Rocky Mountaineer even though I had additional charges in the restaurant. Marriott and Hilton would have given me reward points for the extra charges I incurred.

Cons: The rooms need a fan or something for circulation. They get very stuffy very fast.

Cons: Parking was too expensive Decor is getting a bit shabby with age

Cons: Poor service, bad hardware, no room service after 11. When asked for whiskey glasses, they delivered glasses with dust....

Cons: The value - this hotel looks to be pretty high end and the price would suggest same. The charge for Internet use and the issues encountered in the Business Centre would suggest otherwise. There have obviously been renovations but little things were forgotten, like the plugs in the bathroom wall where the previous towel rack had been. The water lost pressure significantly as soon as I turned on the faucets each time. I could not seem to control the temperature in the shower.

Cons: The room was smaller than advertised. Apparently newly updated but couldn’t tell. Room had no tub and the shower had only scolding hot water.

Cons: Small bathroom. Toilet-sink-shower w/o space between. Avg sized rooms. Fitness center a bit below avg (equipment amount & range) for hotel size/status. Expensive.

Cons: I don't usualy write bad things about a hotel because i know the damage it can cost to the place. But this time, it was over my ability to not react. There were a few things. 1. It seems that we had bed bugs on our bed. We scratched ourselves like hell until we moved to the other bed that we had in our room. 2. At breakfast we chose the buffet, when we got to the cheese section it was all full of bugs flying around and on it. Add to that, the milk was spoiled. Thanks to the staff, we did not have to pay for our meals. 3. If you park your car in the hotels parking lot and use the machine, you'll have to pay "only" 44$ a day, but if you register through the hotel you will pay more than 60$ a day. 4. There were not much stuff at the loby, it took is about 15 minutes to check in!! 4. No free WiFi in the hotel... Any way, not returning, doesn't worth the money.

Cons: Way overpriced compared to service and how old and outdated the rooms are. The bathtub was peeling, the hot water would go away in the sink, you had to constantly regulate it. They don't tell you ahead of time the cost of parking, which was almost $50.00 a day, otherwise I would have looked for an alternative, they just hit you with a bill dropped in front of your room door on the last day of your stay so you don't yell at them at checkout.

Cons: Spent close to 20 minutes waiting in line on Thursday night for cab A cab was only available if someone was arriving in a cab, then you could grab it for yourself

Cons: Acoustics. I heard someone snoring from the room next to mine

Cons: bathroom no ventilation, inconvenient location of electricity plugs, no slippers

Cons: A bit tired looking. Needs a ceiling fan in the room! There were 4 of us staying in our room, but we NEVER had 4 towels! Each day, we had to call and ask for another towel.

Cons: The room was really run down. The carpet was old, buckling, and had stains all over and the furniture has seen its best days long ago.

Cons: There was limited dining choice and what was available was rather expensive for families although the food was excellent; no vending machines and no lobby newsstand or similar where you could purchase snacks or beverages. There was a drug store fairly close or several food courts nearby as well as many restaurants within walking distance.

Cons: The bed was not very comfortable - ended up with quite a bit of back pain afterwards. The pool needs some updates too.

Cons: We received a room that looked like it had been added in as an afterthought. Bathroom was extremely cramped and the door did not close, and the view...well if you like looking out the window and seeing a green tarp, this is the room for you. On the positive side, if you need absolute dark at all times of day, it would be perfect.

Cons: Pricey.

Cons: Wi-Fi fees are a huge joke, but not exclusive to this hotel. This should not be seen as a bad comment for this hotel. It is just another way hotels are trying to make more money. If you can, try and book your stay with Wi-Fi included and ask for a discount if one is available.
