The hotel restaurant HAS a beautiful view. It had EXCELLENT food. The location is GREAT, near many shops on Granville Island.
The duvet was not warm enough SO i asked for a warmer one. The radiator also did not give out much warm heat. I found some desk staff were not that helpful and did not seem INTERESTED in my requests.
