Only booked this hotel because all other options were exhausted. Ridiculously overpriced. Rude and dismissive front staff on check in. Room was open/unlocked on arrival. Room very outdated and smelt of cigarettes. No towels in the bathroom. Toilet constantly running. Key got stuck in door - 5 people tried to get it out - hotel staff made it sound like it was my problem to resolve?! Hotel in need of major renos/TLC.

Generous amount of space. Basically an apartment style room straight out of the 70’s. Hotels are out of control expensive in Vancouver, this place is relatively good value. Very friendly front desk team. Thanks.

Reasonably clean. When we first entered the room, it was so hot, no air circulating. I requested a fan, Promised but none brought to the room. No waiting chair at reception area.

Beyond the pale of terrible - stay away!

This is not a hotel, it is a homeless shelter. In 30 years of traveling the world, the only worse experience was in the mid 80's in Nigeria. The place is run down and derelict. Filthy and run down. I have the pleasure the spend over $275 for the night here, and while I never expected a 5* experience for that money thanks to gouging happy rip-off Vancouver, I certainly did expect a soulless, reasonably up to date, definitely clean and acceptably peaceful stay. I slept less than 2 hours due the the pull out couch being nothing more than a bent frame and the noise because it was so hot and without AC there was no option but having the windows open. Toilet door would not close, bugs on the floor, urine stains around the seat fittings, ripped, worn carpets, 30 year old bedding and furniture. I went to Vancouver to ride in the GranFondo and this hotel ruined it all. Genuinely beyond the pale of terrible!

Check in was very unfriendly and inflexible. The property is very conveniently located, and spacious. However, it is old and in need of some care and renovation. It was still a good place for us to stay.

The hotel was bad bad bad. The room is very old and on the scary side. It reminded me an 80s Russian spy movie. The receptionist was not cordial and lacking any customer service initiatives. We left the luggage bc we could not checked in until 4 We thought they were kept safe. When we returned the room where the luggage were was unlocked and accessible by anyone who walked in. We asked for a bathroom before we checked in we were told it was out of service. The room was so dusty my friend who I was traveling with coughed all night because she is allergic to dust.

Horror Hotel

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this hotel in a horror flick from the 70’s. From the peeling wallpaper , the green sludge covered bathroom taps , to the lovely green carpet literally rolling up on the floors . I’m not going to mention the kitchen , Gordon Ramsay would hurl his guts out about . The front desk staff acted like we were a hinderance like the 20 layers of dust on everything . Pretty sure I have Hepatitis from this place and the giant hole in the couch has made me itchy . Would have been nice to have a toilet that worked and didn’t keep spitting my turd back up the pipe . Wouldn’t recommend this dive even to the homeless .

I was very pleased. It’s a dated place but clearly kept up. I would stay again. The only thing was that I couldn’t figure out how to run the AC if there was any.

Oh man, I feel like this building will be torn down pretty quick. It was terribly dated and kinda deteriorating. Everything was in pretty grim condition. The shower especially! Geez replace the shower head! you get a lot of space and the neighbourhood is amazing. However, it’s Highway robbery to charge $250 a night for a place that looks like it hasn’t been Reno’s since the 70s. It was clean and bed was decent - however lots of construction accross Robson street so loud - wonder how many more days this Tropicana has left in it!

This was EXTREMELY disappointing, I will be contacting the hotel directly in order to get some sort of a refund as well. The staff was disinterested and could not answer the most basic of questions. They initially would not let me pay with a debit card, tried to make us pay credit saying it was hotel policy, then when we objected, finally let us pay with the card we chose. Next, the lady, who was quite rude, told us we were getting the "best room." If that was the best room, I don't want to know what the others looked like. There were red streaks on the wall in the bedroom and ceiling in the washroom. The place was untidy as a whole. Finally, the key, which was a physical key, got stuck in the door, meaning we had to latch the door at night or else someone could have walked right into our room. When we asked for help, none was provided.
