  • Overall: Rating of 3.1 out of 5

    "( as we did for all 3 nights) Although this was a terrific location with very accommodating staff we would definitely not ever recommend this hotel to anyone." source Hotels.com

    "So in summary if your a business traveler I would recommend this but if your traveling with kids I suggest you look elsewhere." source Priceline

    "Would definately stay again for this location, it is the best for convenience to VGH, and also has a small shopping (inside) mall directly across street, including a sizeable Safeway grocery store." source Travelocity

    "I will definitely stay there again if I visit Vancouver in the future." source Expedia

    "I highly recommend this hotel." source Hotels.com

  • Clean: Rating of 3.6 out of 5

    "It is a bit older but always clean and the service and food are great." source Skoosh

    "The rooms were spacious and clean." source Hotels.com

    "Clean, efficient, location excellent for early morning taxi to the airport, taxis right outside door." source Priceline

    "The hotel was stylish, clean, and comfortable, though we were disappointed there is no concierge to point us to nearby restaurants when we first arrived." source Travelocity

    "The rooms were basic, nothing fancy but they were clean and comfortable." source Expedia

  • Service: Rating of 3.5 out of 5

    "The hotel is excellent minus the fact that if you desire internet or parking, expects to pay a lot more extra for those services." source Priceline

    "Horrible service and overpriced." source Priceline

    "Overall the stay was pretty good, with a few minor problems-- one closet door fell off and the toilet started leaking, room service did not leave coffee a couple of times. Also- I extended my stay and because of some confusion between the front desk and housekeeping, did not get cleaning service for 2 days." source Travelocity

    "On one occasion, room service knocked and then entered my room without waiting for a reply, even though I had the Do Not Disturb sign on the door. Again-- room service cleaned but did not leave coffee and/or cream and sugar refills on some days." source Travelocity

    "Internet service was available in a small computer room. The atmosphere in the computer room was good, but the service was costly ($5 for one half hour." source Travelocity

  • Location: Rating of 2.9 out of 5

    "However, great location, directly across the street from a terrific food court." source Skoosh

    "Downtown Vancouver had enclosed parking for as little as $5 per day." source Skoosh

    "Maybe to hip for my age of 47 but never the less perfect location and price if you have those early am flights out of LAX." source Orbitz

    "It was in a good neighborhood and the front desk was helpful in directing us to many good restaurants." source Hotels.com

    "had to call the front desk and they couldn't tell me where it was located." source Hotels.com

  • Value: Rating of 4.0 out of 5

    "Great value, beautiful view and accommodation." source Priceline

    "Staying at this hotel was a great deal for the price, I looked at several of the options online for our price range and picked the one that had the best reviews - we were very happy with our decision to stay at the Plaza 500." source Travelocity

    "There is hardly a hotel out there in this price category that charges for wireless access and local phone calls anymore." source Expedia

    "Price gotten OK hotel not worth more." source Priceline

    "Downside is the cost of parking and high speed internet." source Travelocity
