Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Use the luggage storage if you arrive before 15:00 or after 11:00 checkout to explore the city freely.

  • 02

    Access downtown via the Yaletown SkyTrain station, a few blocks away, for direct airport rail service.

  • 03

    Request a room on a higher floor or away from the street if noise sensitivity is a concern, as radiator heating is used and windows open.

  • 04

    Arrive early to secure a desk in the shared kitchen, as the space is popular for meal prep.
