Radisson Blu Vancouver Airport Hotel & Marina
Clean and great location

Pinnacle Hotel Harbourfront
Room was clean, although could use some updates. Complementary water bottles could save you some bucks. Staff was nice. Close to main attractions. Pro Tip: if want to save some money in the parking garage, use the public parking kiosk instead of the one offered by the hotel ($25 vs $23).

River Rock Casino Resort
The parking made no sense. It was a casino building and another 100m away. Ridiculously far for quick convenience.

Convenient and affordable. Room was very basic. 9 out of 10. Highly recommended.
