Hotel Grand Pacific

I wound up booking a “Victoria” room instead of a “Signature” room. I guess it’s the non-renovated style with the Queen Anne style furnishings. OK, my bad… I thought I was getting the more modern room. However, we were greeted by a room full of flies and pretty worn-down furniture, wallpaper and carpeting. Even the hallways have sagging carpet. It seems that no effort is being put into the “Victoria” rooms to maintain the existing rooms. We’re still waiting on a can of bug spray to make the room livable tonight. It seems that the hotel manager has deemed us unworthy of an upgrade. The front desk staff are pleasant and seem to want to help, but are getting pushback. Not quite the way we wanted to started a vacation. Definitely not a luxe experience here.

Fathom Lounge inside of the hotel is fabulous. They often have live Jazz and it's a nice intimate quiet setting. There's even room to do a little dancing. They have a happy hour and they have some delicious offerings. You can sit at the bar or they have very comfortable overstuffed chairs and couches.

Beautiful Hotel across from the ferry. Easy walking to government buildings the museums or for drinks at the Empress or China town. We used the hop on hop off to visit various venues next day. Like the castles and other areas of town. We enjoyed our stay and the security the hotel offers. Felt very safe and secure. The food at the restaurant was very good as was the service.

Very nice hotel right on the harbour. Very easy to walk to most things. We did a horse carriage tour from just around the corner. Nice room and nice staff. We ate there to and very good service and very good food. Parking was easy.

I had the best Salmon Benedict with avocado while my companion had an omelet. In fact it was so good we came back a second time and I had the Salmon Benedict again.
