Pacific Inn Resort & Conference Centre

I want to go back. I think it's closed. This was in the most recent "The Stand" adaptation but it was a great artsy hotel. Tacky and fun. My cousin says it was a prime 80's party spot. The vibe lives on..

We stayed for a Saturday night on our way through to downtown Vancouver. I read the reviews before booking online, and was expecting to see our room in good repair/updated as was promised to the reviews of two months ago. Instead, the room had duct tape holding the carpet at the threshold, and the air conditioning held no comfort whatsoever. There was a two-by-four jutting out from the box springs on one bed. However, the room, and hotel, were reasonably clean. The front desk staff were courteous and helpful. The pool area had an attendant who was bright and cheerful. I did not venture into the bar or dining room, but the bar was busy at night and the breakfast looked packed as I was leaving. I imagine the staff has shown great improvement vs. previous reviews, but the zero dollar maintenance is going to bury the place. Would I stay there again? no. My wife disagrees, thinks they deserve another chance. I will endorse the staff, as I'm sure they work very hard to keep customers satisfied.

Breakfast was edible, but barely, and towels were hard to come by. Our hallway constantly smelled like smoke even though it's non smoking. Pool was nice: nice idea but cold and under filled. Rooms either had an indoor or outdoor balcony which was nice. Overall the experience was just okay.
