Sunset Inn & Suites

Great location, Elvis is the best, nice rooms. Our room was at the end of the hallway and had a fan blowing right above. I would have given it 5 stars but some issues. The street/​back alley noise was very loud, breakfast is good but no options for a non-​dairy family– so no coffee or cereal for us. So easy to have a pint of almond, coconut, or rice milk on hand. Other than those very small minor details, it is lovely. I would stay again but in a different room since I am a light sleeper.

The best location, the cleanest rooms, stylish and super friendly staff at an affordable price. While in Vancouver this is where me and my family stay!

This place WAAAY exceeded my expectations of both customer service and physical space. Albeit, all Canadians might be nicer than the average American, but these particular Canadians went out of their way to make our stay welcoming and relaxing.
When you get to the Sunset Inn and Suites, the first thing you will notice is the building, which is old and kind of hideous. The parking was kind of hard to find at night without ever having been here before (turns out it’s in the back!) and from the outside the building did not give me confidence. That said, my fears were immediately dissipated upon entering their very modern and well kept lobby. The décor is tasteful and comfy – modern, but with an inspired touch of warmth and a fire place that makes you want to sit down and relax while you let your significant other deal with the check-​in process.
When I stepped into our room for the weekend, I was stunned at first by the cleanliness and comfy décor but even more thrilled when I realized how spacious it was. They called it a suite, but it must’ve been an apartment at one time or another because it had a living room, a kitchen, a decent sized bathroom, a small dining room, and a bedroom big enough to comfortable host a king sized bed. The room also came with a big screen tv, dishes to make tea or eat dinner on, a comfortable desk to work at, and a patio! It was so much more than we anticipated, and so comfortable!
The staff were also excellent. We felt welcome from the moment we walked in. When I hurt my foot walking around the park and needed band-​aids to cover the blisters, the gentleman at the front desk was happy to oblige. When we had to check out around 11 on Sunday but needed to leave the car in their lot for a few more hours of touring, they were perfectly polite and told us not to worry about it and to take all the time we needed.
I honestly have zero complains about Sunset Inn. I would highly recommend this place for a trip to Vancouver on a budget. For what we paid, we got an outstanding level of service and an outstanding room. In fact, I wish we could’ve stayed longer. It was nicer than my apartment back in Seattle. ⁴⁄₅ stars simply because I think of a five star hotel as a true luxury experience – but while this was not luxurious, it was everything one gets from the comfort of home and more besides.

Can’t say enough great things about this cute hotel! The people were so nice and helpful! It’s in a great location — in walking distance to restaurants and the ferry to go across to Granville Island. Amazing suites with kitchenettes. Very clean. Breakfast, wireless and parking included. We will definitely return! A real find and a fantastic bargain!

Centrally located, SPACIOUS, free parking, free and fast wifi, friendly staff, free continental breakfast (tip: skip the coffee and go to starbucks for actual caffeine), has a gym which consists of a mediocre selection of low weight dumbbells, a stationary bike, a 1980’s elliptical and treadmill.

Absolutely loved my stay here! The location is just off of Davie, so walking to anywhere and everywhere was a breeze. The price was reasonable and not expensive in my opinion. A big bonus is they have a small parking area for guests which is free. It’s a little tight underground, but we drove a Honda Accord so not a big issue. The room was beautiful (stayed on the 8^th floor) with a balcony that faced the alley. It wasn’t a problem for me, because I wasnt there for the view. The room was clean, the bathrooms were equipped with Neutrogena products, and the kitchen was very useful in storing snacks. The workers were LOVELY. They were more than willing to help my significant other and I out with places to go.
All in all, I will definitely be staying here again and highly recommend the place!

A great hotel located just off Davie Street. For the price it can’t be beat. Attentive staff, great space, close to great restaurants and culture. We plan on staying here the next time we are in Vancouver.

Surprisingly comfortable, spacious and elegant abode. I highly recommend staying here! Walking distance to great bars, restaurants and downtown. Front desk staff is super friendly and helpful. We were upgraded to a nicer room with a king bed without a charge… I could go on about how amazingly surprised with the accommodations and amenities this place has to offer. Thanks Sunset Inn!

Nice, reasonably priced suits perfectly located off a side-​street in the West End. Yes, the rooms were nice and clean and outfitted with everything you’d expect, but what really gives this place the extra star is the exquisite friendliness and helpfulness of all of the front desk staff. Elvis, Dave, & Arabella went above & beyond in giving us tips about the neighborhood, restaurants, etc., booked reliable & fair taxis for us every day, made us restaurant reservations on several occasions, & booked excursion reservations for us so that we could be sure to avoid any «tourist taxes.» They were just the nicest, friendliest people ever & made us feel very welcome.
If you’re looking for something more pampering & luxurious, this place is probably not for you. The breakfast is not huge and because it’s suites you need to bring down your own dishes & trays, but we found it more than adequate & also appreciated the fresh fruit that you could take with you for the day. But if you’re looking for clean, nice, friendly, helpful, & perfectly located, it’s hard to beat.

Not sure this was the right neighborhood for us, but service was very friendly. Elvis greeted us and advised us during our stay. He was fabulous. All the other staff were just as friendly and helpful. We liked having a dining area and full kitchen in our room with a refrigerator and freezer that actually worked. The microwave took longer to heat up food than usual. The free breakfast was a little disappointing and not worth getting up for. You also have to bring down your own tray with plates and cups to get food and drink: waffle, cereal, fruit, juice, and coffee. There is a cleaning fee or you can clean the kitchen yourself.
Be aware when you check in that the front entrance is on a narrow one-​way street. There is only enough room for one car in the loading zone. The hotel parking is in the alley behind the hotel and is gated which you need an access card for which you cannot get until you check in. Also, there is a hospital with emergency services a block down. Ambulance sirens are blaring all night. We heard every one even from the 9^th floor.

My best friend and I come to Canada 1 – 2 times a year. He found this gem through some friends about 4 years back and we stay here every time now.
It’s right off of Davie. In the heart of Vancoever. You can walk around to Stanley park where you can rent bikes and go around the entire island (around 8 miles and takes less than an hour), take a small boat over the Granville island where fun awaits and amazing delicacies lie. Tons of small vendors, stores and food. Truly not to miss.
The staff here at Sunset are awesome. Elvis will take care of you and knows the area well if you have questions. Michael is the general manager and is very accommodating.
The suites we get are large and can accommodate up to six people each. 1 bedroom with a queen size bed and 2 pull out couches. Small kitchen and 1 bathroom with double sinks. We try to get room 1105 as it has a bit more of a view.
Breakfast is served in the main lobby every am. Fresh fruits, coffee, bagels, croissants and fresh made waffles with syrup. Bomb.
Free Wi-​fi and one free parking spot per room is also a bonus!
If looking for a great place to stay, this is your joint!

Usually my reviews about hotels are not good because I am a very picky person. But this Hotel has been one of the best place I’ve ever stayed in Canada and US.
This is not a very luxurious hotel, but they offer much better stuff than the luxurious ones.
1. Prices are very clear and there are no surprises: free wi fi internet, free continental breakfast and free parking. This is awesome!
2. Simple but delicious breakfast with waffle made by ourselves. Loved the experience!
3. Very nice and polite people on the front desk.
4. Great location.
5. Very clean room! 1^st time i have seen a such clean room and bathroom.
6. Two bad things: bathtub clogs easily and building is a bit too old.

Loved this hotel and it’s especially great if you have small children because the rooms are set up like apartments and come with a full kitchen. Also we were delighted about the parking and breakfast being included. The front desk staff are incredibly helpful.
This place is not in the middle of downtown, but it’s by Davie which had major bus service. It is not very close to the Skytrain station, but the aquabus is only a couple of blocks away. Stanley Park is about a mile away and Sunset Beach is a walkable 6 blocks. Lots of restaurants, coffee shops, and grocery stores within blocks.
We stayed in one of the 1 bedroom junior suites and the king bed and pull out sofa bed were very comfortable. The bathroom is pretty small, but it’s not important to us. The place is very clean. Highly recommended.

Great location. Close to public transport and restaurants. In an interesting & eclectic neighbourhood, I felt safe walking around at night, lots of other foot traffic out & about too. Free secure parking. Excellent staff, who are helpful, friendly, full of local knowledge. Complimentary continental breakfast. Free wi-​fi! I think one of the most comfortable hotel beds I’ve slept in. Will be staying there next trip to Vancouver.

Good value. Close to lots of restaurants, markets, and stores on Davie St.
In a quiet neighborhood.
Place is well kept.
Staff is friendly and helpful.

Perfect location and great apartment on Burnaby. Free secure parking in the garage, helpful staff, a basic but free breakfast in the lobby. A short walk from Davie Street’s restaurants and bars.
The apartment was top quality and we even had a pretty good view of downtown and Granville Island.
We were so impressed that we stayed there twice while touring around BC.

Great for families who want some space & own kitchen to cook, though crazy to do that considering our great restaurant scene.
It’s a nice hotel hidden in a residential rental apartments area, prob. most Vancouverites wouldn’t know about. Not in a trendy area, but close to the main st. of Davie, so for tourists, good for walking around kicking tires, always lots of ppl here in this gay-​friendly area — just not much shopping here.
But walkable to the city core, though it’s a brisk 20min. walk to Pacific Centre mall.
Also a good walk to English Bay.
Free parking, internet, continental breakfast, kitchens have granite countertops & hardwood floors, and now til June, pretty good rates, starting at $ 75 for a standard room!

Excellent value for the price.
The location is perfect: 3 blocks from sunset beach.
No hidden fees: wi-​fi, parking and continental breakfast included (note, the word continental).
Friendly and patient staff who will answer any question you may have and will even print directions, give you recommendations on things to do…
This is an old apartment building so you can’t beat the space of those rooms: large room, bathroom, kitchen, even a small balcony.

My fellow travelers, I am deeply ashamed and I beg your forgiveness for neglecting to review this hotel which I stayed at nearly two years ago! If you feel «better late than never,» please indulge this tardy review.
We decided to book this hotel after reading reviews on Unilocal and several other travel sites. We wanted to be right in the heart of Vancouver without necessarily being on Robson Street with all the other hotels. We also were traveling up from Seattle and wanted a place to park the SUV we had rented and not have to pay an arm and a leg for parking. This place certainly fit the bill.
Some of the good points:
1. Free parking! It doesn’t get any better than that, in my book.
2. It’s on a fairly quiet residential street, but within blocks of plenty of action.
3. Continental breakfast included every morning.
4. Globe & Mail newspaper every morning.
5. Friendly people checking us in, and giving restaurant suggestions.
6. Kitchen and dishes so if you want to cook some simple things, and save some money, you can do it.
7. A decent TV.
8. Best of all, it’s located in one of my favourite cities: Vancouver!
It’s like being in a studio apartment, really, and just a very pleasant place to stay. We would return here in a heartbeat. Anybody want to give a family of four free round-​trip airline tickets to YVR? If so, thank you in advance for your kindness!

If you’re looking for a decent, cheap hotel in downtown Vancouver, this place is probably your best bet. We snagged an $ 89 rate, which included breakfast, parking and an internet connection. While the hotel was overall fairly nice and our rate was a complete steal with parking included, I don’t know if we’d stay here again.
The rooms have been redone very nicely, nice hardwood floors in the living room, new counters in the bathroom and kitchen, etc. We only had three small negatives during our stay. Even though the hotel is non-​smoking, I noticed that the hallways and elevators reek of smoke (our room was fine). They have their continental breakfast in the lobby, which is fairly small so there isn’t room for a variety of things (it was only bagels and cereal when we were there so we went out for breakfast). The free parking at the hotel was what annoyed my boyfriend the most (he was doing the driving that day). They apparently have some parking under the building but we couldn’t get our room card to work, so we parked in the small area behind the building. If you are driving a truck or larger SUV you will not have fun trying to park in that little lot.
If I was looking to save money and needed to stay downtown, I’d consider staying again.
