Top Vancouver Hotel Reviews

The Parker Hotel and Rooftop

The Parker Hotel and Rooftop

10/10 Excellent
"The Hotel was very clean. The beds were comfortable. No Airport Shuttle we took a cab from the Airport but, it isn't very far so it wasn't too costly. They serve a very nice hot breakfast. It is not buffet style you are given a menu with a few choices on it the food is good. The only negative is they don't start serving until 7:30 which is late if you have an early flight out. They have a nice rooftop bar that we didn't use but it looked nice. It was in a walkable area. We walked down to the water and walked in the downtown area and had dinner at a local Persian Restaurant."
