Holiday Inn Express Vancouver-Metrotown (Burnaby)

We chose this hotel based on the reviews and the price point. It was outside the main area of Vancouver harbour but we liked the location. The room was a good size, very clean and comfortable. We were on the fifth floor facing the back of the building and far away from the lifts. The bathroom was a good size and well stocked with toiletries. Our room was very spacious and had good facilities; tea/coffee, a fridge, tv, hairdryer, bathroom toiletries etc. All were good. The hotel was very clean overall and the breakfast was great. A good variety of tea/coffe, toast, pastries, voghurt and cooked food. All the staff we dealt with were very friendly and helpful. We parked in the car park and didn't use our car again til we left as the metro was across the road, opposite the hotel. Central Park is a five minute walk away and it was lovely to walk around there and go for a run. There's plenty of food outlets to eat at and a starbucks next door. We dined at Earls restaurant which was a few minutes walk away, that was a great find.

This hotel did what many more expensive hotels don't. The hotel was spotless, smelled really nice wherever I went, and the staff were truly welcoming and showed real interest. The bed was cozy. The silks were silky and comfortable, there was lots of room to put bags, and everything was very well organized. They even had white noise machine and earplugs, which I usually use at home. They've pretty much thought of everything to make it a really good, effortless experience. Will definitely be staying here again.

From the airport it is easy to get to the hotel using the skytrain. Take the train from the airport to waterfront and then get on the Expo line and it will take you right to the hotel at Metrotown. The hotel is right across the street from the skytrain stop. The hotel uses secure access only so safety is priority. A view of the mountains near by. Lots of shopping right around the hotel. This was my first time staying at Metrotown. I would do it again. I cannot comment on the internet or the breakfast available as I didn't use them. There is an exercise room too! Highly recommend.

Fantastic location, SkyTrain and bus right across the street, and Metropolis mall connected to the hotel. Tons of restaurants and shopping nearby. Room was spacious, clean, and well-stocked. Staff were super friendly and helpful, communication was fast and easy. Breakfast has so many options, and I loved that they had different fresh fruits each day

I was surprised with the breakfast they have, they have healthy alternatives for breakfast which I don’t usually find that with Holiday Inn but this one they have available baked beans, few veggies, better option of Greek yogurt. I also love the location within the Metrotown, it’s walking distance to all places you need to go in a trip like, grocery run, mall is across the bridge, coffee run to Starbucks, metro train is across to it, restaurants are every where. You don’t need to drive to go to those places, there are little parks around it, the Burnaby library is around the corner.
