Read it your way
This downtown Vancouver property provides reliable suite accommodations equipped with kitchenettes, Smart TVs, and private balconies. Guests consistently praise the extensive free hot breakfast and the walkable location near Davie Street shops and restaurants. However, the suite layout features only a partial wall divider without a closing door between the living room and bedroom, and some travelers report noticeable elevator or street noise. 813141

Room18 mentions
- “Very little separates the living room from the bedroom, as the divider is only a partial wall with no way to close off either room. When I think of a suite, I expect two distinct rooms with a door or sliding panels that can completely separate each room, though I understand that given the compact layout some tradeoffs were necessary.” 8
- “I don't recall ever seeing a robe in the closet at a Residence Inn. Perhaps I just didn't notice. But MrsMJ appreciates them.” 15
- “Location was ideal and staff exceptional. We had an excellent room.” 4
- “The work area was equipped with power outlets, and the wireless internet worked well in the room.” 15
- “Overall, the room met my needs perfectly. Since I was traveling alone, the compact size wasn't an issue, and it would comfortably accommodate two people.” 8
- “The views weren't anything spectacular, mostly just of the surrounding buildings, though from my room you could see the peaks of the North Shore mountains.” 8
- “The Residence Inn does have fully accessible rooms. We stayed in room 603 a month ago and very comfortable.” 10
- “However, the entry-level suites are a generous interpretation of the term, given the very compact dimensions of the room. Though the added separation may still be useful, especially when traveling with the family.” 8
- “Our room was clean, comfortable, and typical of most Residence Inn's. There was a kitchenette, a little seating/bar area, big closet, and nice bath.” 15
- “Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. We stayed here for 1 night pre-cruise earlier this month. The room we had was huge.” 1
- “very clean and good sized room. here we could visit stanley park that was not far from the hotel.” 4
- “Both the living room and bedroom featured large, almost floor to ceiling windows that let in lots of natural light. Both windows could open, allowing fresh air in, which is rare in a high-rise building.” 8
- “The room had decent sky line views. Since the hotel is located inland from the water, and is lower than many of it's surrounding towers, you're likely to get other tower views. These views aren't sensational, but it's far better than looking into another concrete wall or alleyway.” 14
- “Stayed recently. Clean room great breakfast.” 6
- “Starting at 420 square feet, Residence Inn's suites are spacious, modern, and fully equipped for long stays.” 13
- “The decor isn't exactly striking, but it's unobjectionable: all rooms have textured beige carpeting, tan and brick-colored walls, and earth-toned furnishings with jolts of red from the bedskirts, accent pillows, and ottomans.” 13
- “The hotel informed me that the 1 Bedroom Penthouse Suite was unfortunately not accessible, so I ended up in the Studio Two Queens, which was very comfortable for my stay with a friend in the city.” 3
- “The bedroom contained a second flat screen television. There wasn't a lot of artwork in the bedroom, and it almost appeared a little bland.” 14
Location14 mentions
- “I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Delta Vancouver Downtown Suites. Its location is ideal for anyone attending events in the city, and its convenient proximity to transit, the convention center, and cruise ship terminal are tough to beat.” 8
- “The hotel also happened to be well located for doing what we needed to do in Vancouver. It would be a convenient stop for anyone looking for connectivity to Vancouver International Airport (by rail) and to Vancouver's Cruise Ship Terminals.” 14
- “If you want to try Poutine, you are perfectly located - the two most well-known local ones, Fritz and La Belle Patate are <700 yards away on Davie (Fritz is just one block east; LBP is west)” 1
- “Location was ideal and staff exceptional. We had an excellent room.” 4
- “It's worth noting that all rooms at the Delta Hotels by Marriott Downtown Vancouver Suites are actual suite rooms. This gives it a slight advantage from some other downtown hotels in the neighbourhood. You won't be getting a large old school suite with a lot of space, but you'll certainly have a smaller detached living space for one, that fully fits the definition of a suite.” 14
- “"The Delta Vancouver Downtown Suites Hotel is Vancouver's Terrific Marriott All Suite Hotel offering, that is only hampered by being in a slightly edgy neighbourhood, and somewhat compact rooms"” 14
- “While I would consider this hotel to be in a great location, I do feel it deserves mentioning that its location is right on the fringes of some of the more unpleasant areas of downtown Vancouver.” 8
- “Can't speak to interior room comfort/front desk service, as never stayed, but in terms of location it's fine & dandy. You're close to Davie - which has plenty of shops & restos - but just far enough that the party scene there shouldn't annoy you” 1
- “The property is well situated for sightseeing, around downtown Vancouver. Assuming you're packing an umbrella for the winter months when it's normally raining, you wouldn't need to access a rental car in order to get the most out of a visit to downtown Vancouver, Canada.” 14
- “"Central location. Great staff"” 5
- “Taking the train from Vancouver International Airport (YVR) is easy and should take less than 30 minutes and no more than a 5-minute walk from Waterfront station to the hotel. Overall, this is a great location, especially for cruise goers looking for a convenient homebase pre- or post-cruise.” 8
- “Location was good. We were going to walk to the port but needed to find a pharmacy first so we ended up walking the 10 minutes to the SkyTrain at Yale-Roundhouse and we were at the port in no time at all.” 1
- “With the Delta by Marriott Vancouver Downtown Suites having a great urban location, there are many terrific dining options that are off property and in the neighbouring area.” 14
- “If you are looking for an ideally located property with a comfortably appointed room and a solid breakfast in the morning, the Delta Hotels Vancouver Downtown Suites checks all the right boxes.” 8
Service15 mentions
- “This resulted in at least a 5 minute wait to check in, but beyond that, we were pleasantly assisted, and on our way to our 8th floor room in short order. Our room was clean, comfortable, and typical of most Residence Inn's.” 15
- “Location was ideal and staff exceptional. We had an excellent room.” 4
- “"Central location. Great staff"” 5
- “Stayed in an accessible room. Threshold into the room and into the bathroom were about 1/4" high. I would not have been able to get into the room or the bathroom without assistance. These thresholds were not wheelchair friendly. They need to be flush with the floor.” 6
- “The staff made the stay memorable for us.” 6
- “They delivered us breakfast every morning and very polite hospitality overall not a bad hotel but I know in the 5 years I've been here the homelessness has gone up” 6
- “Consistent with the security circumstances, the hotel had a private security guard in the lobby, and hotel elevators are key carded for access. While the security wasn't over the top, it was nice to have on hand.” 14
- “I arrived in the early evening when there was no wait at check-in, and a friendly agent assisted me right away.” 8
- “Earlier, I had completed on line check in through the Marriott App. As a result, the check in process was really quick.” 14
- “MrsWT73 provided the hotel a courtesy notice to let them know she was leaving at the front desk at about 2 PM. There was a bit of a line with quite a few line cutters, which perhaps marked the only low point of the stay.” 14
- “There were two gentlemen working the front desk attempting to assist some of my fellow countrymen in finding their way somewhere. This resulted in at least a 5 minute wait to check in, but beyond that, we were pleasantly assisted, and on our way to our 8th floor room in short order.” 15
- “Lastly, a Marriott Bonvoy Titanium level 4 PM check out was offered without any hesitation or fighting. This was really appreciated as MrsWT73 had some social engagements the next day.” 14
- “The neighbourhood was louder than expected, but the hotel was more than hospitable and friendly.” 14
- “Staff were friendly, breakfast was good, and it even had a little bar called Cavino attached - coffee by day, wine by night. 🙂” 15
- “Share enzowasgreat • 6mo ago It's a good hotel. It's a good hotel. I saw some of the renovated rooms last year and they looked really nice.” 6
Food9 mentions
- “The included breakfast was varied and pretty decent.” 1
- “great experience there!! Stayed lots of times. Yummy breakfast.” 6
- “Stayed recently. Clean room great breakfast.” 6
- “The Marriott near Canada Place does not have wheelchair accessible rooms for those who cannot walk a little. No roll in showers and the rest of the bathrooms are worse than tight. Great restaurant!” 10
- “Breakfast was therefore taken quickly thanks to the "Grab and Go" formula. A plastic bag is provided, and you can take everything you want with you to your bedroom. And there's no shortage of choice!” 3
- “The breakfast is good and the ladies running it were so sweet to my kids, giving them coloring sheets and hanging up their drawings in the kitchen.” 6
- “The free hot breakfast is genuinely impressive, and there is a outdoor terrace with charcoal grills and a fire pit.” 13
- “The breakfast itself was excellent. Dishes arrived promptly, were well prepared, tasted fresh, and clearly reflected the care of the kitchen staff.” 8
- “Staff were friendly, breakfast was good, and it even had a little bar called Cavino attached - coffee by day, wine by night. 🙂” 15
Bathroom4 mentions
- “The shower was thoughtfully designed, and I loved how impeccably clean the entire bathroom was.” 8
- “Not a lot of counter space around the vanity, but I liked the updated look and use of the LED lighting built into the mirror.” 8
- “Very appreciated gesture! Although I'm not the biggest fan of the bath/shower combo, the showerhead was modern, and the bathroom had lots of towels.” 3
- “The bathroom was basic but adequate and contained a single vanity, toilet, and a walk-in shower.” 8
Bed & Sleep2 mentions
- “The Marriott near Canada Place does not have wheelchair accessible rooms for those who cannot walk a little. No roll in showers and the rest of the bathrooms are worse than tight.” 10
- “I ordered the barbacoa brisket bowl, which ended up being fantastic. The eggs were poached perfectly and the rest of the ingredients were fresh and plentiful.” 8
Value5 mentions
- “If you value Marriott Bonvoy points at $0.008 a point, you'd have to spend more than $336 USD to come out ahead for a 42,000 point redemption. As a resident of Vancouver, I don't find that this represents spectacular value.” 14
- “Residence Inn provides great value for downtown Vancouver by way of its reasonable rates, free and extensive breakfast buffet, and in-suite kitchens, which include full fridges, microwaves, and even dishwashers.” 13
- “Got a refundable rate less than 350 Canadian which includes all taxes/fees/breakfast, which in comparison to other downtown hotels didn't seem bad.” 1
- “The only issue we had was at check in. We had booked online and paid extra for an additional adult in the room. When we arrived they didn't want to rent it to 4 adults but we insisted that we paid the price online and eventually they gave in.” 1
- “Not personal but a lot of people from our company stay there when we have events in town and we find its the best value to accommodation ratio in the city” 6
Noise4 mentions
- “"Constant Elevator Noise and a Management Experience That Left Me Feeling Deceived"” 5
- “Getting to the sleep quality of the room, while the hotel hallways were quiet, the neighbouring streets were not as peaceful. The nearby streets of Hastings and Cordova seems to serve as a major access way for Ambulances to zip East / West across Vancouver. As a result, the nights' sleep was often interrupted by the sounds of ambulance siren noises.” 14
- “The hotel hallway noise was virtually non existent.” 14
- “With only nine suites per floor, each floor was pretty quiet and peaceful.” 14
