Having lived in Van for year and coming back to see friends & family, this time I wanted a hotel out with downtown where there was handy transport links as I had no car. This hotel is ideal for that being on a main street with plenty bus options and also15 mins walk to the Pacific bus station and sky... more

We stayed at the Best Western Uptown over the May long Weekend. I made reservations by telephone 4-6 weeks before arriving, however, upon arriving discovered that we had no room. The staff had no record of our reservation and when I provided the confirmation number the claimed it didn't exist. We were eventually given a room, but not the what... more

I stayed for 5 nights, beginning Jan. 31. I found the hotel to be clean and quiet. I don't drive, but transit buses go by the front door every few minutes and it's very easy to get downtown. The staff were very helpful and friendly, without exception. Right next door to the hotel is a shopping mall with a liquor... more

Clean and tidy hotel. The room we had was nice, nothing stuuning, just adequate for a 3 day stay. Good beds and quiet location. Breakfast was only average, but it kept us going till lunch. Staff were helpful. more

I read good reviews of this hotel here on TripAdvisor and I have to say they were all correct! The staff was so nice & helpful, and our room was very spacious, quiet and CLEAN. The hotel is walking distance (about 10 minutes) to a very busy area with shops, restaurants, etc., but the free parking is definitely a huge... more

I stay at this hotel at least 30 nights per year, usually in one-week stays, and find it overall an excellent value and very good quality. The hotel is not the Fairmont, and doesn't pretend to be. However, at their very reasonable rates (down to $69 in the winter), what you get is worth every penny. The rooms are comfortable... more

My room was fairly modern, very clean and spacious (for 1). The staff was very helpful with directions and advice. There's not too much to do around the immediate neighborhood, but is safe and fairly quite (definitely better than downtown). Not the cheapest, but for a moderate rate, a very good stay. more

A jewel in the rough. * First impressions: On corner of a busy street. Receptionist was gracious. I asked for a room NOT beneath the gym and he said "Oh, you must have been here before!" I had not...I had just read another Trip Advisor report! Thanks! * Customer Service: Excellent. I was able to stay a little longer because... more

A have stayed in this hotel on a number of occasions, probably totalling a month or so alltogether. The rooms are uniformly nice, and would command a much higher price if the hotel was located 1km closer into the downtown core. I have stayed in $200+ hotels with rooms like these. Tastefully decorated and modern. Many of the rooms have... more
