"Stayed here from 6/3–6/7. Overall, the stay was decent, and the location is convenient with easy access to downtown by bus and plenty of shops and restaurants nearby on Commercial Drive.
The biggest downside is the noise. On Saturday nights, loud music from the underground bar next door can be heard throughout the hotel until 1–2 a.m., and the bass can even make the building vibrate. If you're a light sleeper, this may be a concern.
The surrounding area is a bit rough and has a noticeable homeless population, but I didn't experience any issues during my stay."
