Independent in Newton from NZ$348

"Me: "Where would you prefer to live? [our home city] or Vancouver?" My 4 year old: "I prefer to live in... this hotel!" We had a blast at the River Rock hotel during May long weekend. Our little one loved the swimming pool, and we had the bonus of having a room right above the SkyTrain and in the flight path of planes taking off from YVR... built-in free entertainment! Really close to places we like to visit in Richmond too... restaurants, shopping, Richmond Night Market. Plus easy access to the highway to go into the city. Our room was clean and comfortable. Check-in/out was easy too. My only criticism is the layout of the resort meant a bit of a long walk each day to get to the parking lot (across the street and then on the other side of the resort), and the swimming pool was tricky to find. Signage could be clearer. Also the elevators in the parking lot were broken, along with some of the elevators in the resort itself. "

"This boutique hotel is charming. Great to have the separate living area with microwave. The Resturant Frankie’s connected was convenient and the food was delicious. Perfect location to walk anywhere in downtown Vancouver. "

"Easy walk to Stanley park. "

"The hotel is in the heart of downtown Vancouver and the location is convenient for shopping, dining, walking or transportation. The staff is not very friendly and the cleanliness is average (carpet was dusty, bedsheet had a stain, bath mat had a stain)."

"Just a short stay in downtown at end of cruise vacation. Close to public transportation in city center made it a perfect spot. Pleasant and helpful staff"

"Room has everything what I need "

"I was pleasantly surprised! I expected a well curated traditional hotel experience from the Fairmont. The Fairmont Waterfront has done an excellent job at keeping the best parts of traditional hotel experience while with new modern/digital touches. The Le Labo partnership was also an incredible surprise. I will be visiting again - I absolutely loved it!"

"Lots of food choices very close to the downtown core and GM place "

"It was my 1st time at this hostel and it was really good. The shared bathroom was very secured. With a button, both door locked. Very quiet neighborhood and friendly employees. I highly recommend. "
