Coast Vancouver Airport Hotel

We found this Hotel on Expedia. We wanted an inexpensive hotel close to the the Airport. This place appeared to fill those requirements. We were in transit, so we we wanted a one night stay before continuing on our journey. We arrived early before the the 3PM checkin time (1:30PM). The front desk staff suggested we have lunch at the White Spot Restaurant till checkin. I went to the desk at 2:30PM since I saw people checking in. Our room was not ready. At 3:00 PM, our room was not ready. We had to sit in the lobby until 3:50PM.
We were given a $ 20.00 gift certificate for meals at the White Spot Restaurant.
Our original booked room was not available so we were switched to a room that appeared to be under renovation. But it faced away from the Lang Bridge (do not get a room facing the Bridge).
This Hotel is a work in progress. We were on the second floor where there was obvious construction/​renovations underway.
Once done, the place should look OK.
The White Spot Restaurant and staff are good and the food is acceptable pub fare.
You have to pay for parking and parking is limited. So get a space and do not leave or else, you park across the street under the Bridge.
The staff are great, they are doing their best. They waived our parking fee because of the delay in getting our room ready.
If you want an inexpensive room close to the airport, this is it.

I stayed here 5 nights just this past weekend and was neither impress nor disappointed. They’ve remodeled the lobby which looks impressive at first glance. They should definitely invest in remodeling the whole hotel inside out, the rooms are outdated, walls are thin and you can almost hear everything. The bathtub in my room had some mold stains and the floor was covered with hair. Although the carpet was a dark color and one can’t see the hairs, you’ll know they are there if you sleep on the floor which I did because the bed was too soft. The sheet I used to put on the floor was covered in lots of hair upon folding it. Housekeeping was good about tidying up the room every day although they didn’t have to do much in my room because it’s always tidy. This hotel is good for layovers and or a quick stay. The free breakfast they provide in the Oak room is laughable! Even the toast at my home is fresher than that. I wouldn’t stay here if I have to pay for my own accommodation. Despite the few cons it’s not bad if you want to stay close to the airport.

Seriously under-​rated, this hotel is much better than the reviews would suggest.
Keep in mind this is one of the cheapest hotels in Vancouver, close to the airport and major arteries.
Sure, it’s older and the décor is beige and bland, but it’s not dingy or grimy. The place is clean and the finishes are not worn. The lobby and hallways are clean and well kept. The staff are pleasant. Yes, the internet is slow, and the TV isn’t a flat screen, and the plumbing fixtures aren’t quite old enough to be antiques yet, but everything works.
It’s in a nice residential neighborhood with free parking just a block away, and people out walking their dogs all the time. Feels much safer than a downtown hotel.
Make sure to request the west side of the hotel, away from highway 99, where it’s much quieter.
And don’t pay twenty dollars a day for parking, just park anywhere a block to the west, in the neighborhood or near the overpass, and save a bundle.
Plus, the hotel is now inside the car2go car-​sharing region, so you can get here by shuttle and grab a car2go within a block or two for very handy transportation without paying for parking everywhere.

I got my cousin a room for 2 night before heading to Hawaii since his flight was delayed he was complaining how it was so noisy during at night he can hear airplanes and cars all the time so we ask if he can switch room since his room is facing the Arthur Laing Bridge. The receptionist put us on hold and after a few minutes he said he will call back after he got a hold of his Manager. 3 hours later no call so we said it’s fine its 11 pm will ask again tomorrow. So the next day comes and the receptionist who was asking that night did not leave any messages to the person whose working in the morning so we have to let her know and next thing you know they said they can’t do anything anymore since we’re only staying for 2 days and the room is reserve for someone. No way we’re ever staying here or anyone I know.

This is a good stop over if you are flying out of Vancouver. There is a Pub attached and you are located just across the bridge to the Airport. This is a bit of a Budget minded Hotel, not as nice as alot of Coast Hotel elsewhere. Still very handy for travelers looking to save a few $$.

Had to stay here for three night’s through our Rocky mountain tour group. Staff was very friendly and accommodating, also has a very updated and nice looking lobby, in fact during my stay they had just finished remodeling and opened up a guest waiting area. But that’s about the only thing good with this place, wished they would have used that money towards updating the guest rooms. The rooms looks very dingy and cheap, wifi was horrendous very slow and unstable, generic window ac unit you typically find in motels. Only had one of two working elevators which was as slow as molasses. The free breakfast vouchers we received was decent, microwaved egg patties and sausages, cereal, toast and waffles carbs galore. Sausages tasted off for me but others said it was ok. Overall it was a roof over our heads for a few night’s, but without being on a tour group I wouldn’t come and stay here the next time I visit Vancouver.

I normally wouldn’t write a review. However; this stay at this hotel was not a pleasant stay and prompted me to write this bad review.
The day we checked into the room. After we got all settled and relaxed. There was a knock at the door from maintenance guy. Saying he was there to check on the toilet as it was reported to be leaking. Couldn’t speak to the manager until the next day.
The next day I did talk to the manager and all he can do is give me $ 20 back. That’s the best he can do. Why would they check us into a room which had a report of a problem?
The following day just minutes before checking out of the room. I had my oldest daughter take a good look around the room. As we always do. She was looking under one of the beds and found a dirty sock. Took a picture to show the manager and all he said was thanks for reporting and I have done all I can for you already.
So disappointed in this hotel. They will not longer receive my services ever again!
Also a one star rating is too high!

Very nice place to stay! Wonderful employees and it’s not so much expensive! The free shuffle is nice for people who have to go to the airport. Rooms are very clean and we have coffee, chocolate milk, etc.

We stayed in Coast Vancouver for a couple of days. They have free shuttle to and from the airport. After we arrived at the Vancouver airport, we went to the hotel cab pick up area, called the hotel from the booth nearby (it is free) and they pick you up in 15 – 20 min.
Check-​in process was simple. There’s a white spot restaurant inside the hotel and a pub nearby. Buses to downtown is just opposite to the hotel and it’s a 40 min ride to downtown.
Within a couple of blocks from the hotel, there are a few other restaurants. Convenient location.
Service is very friendly; we seeked help from receptionists several times to warm up our food in the microwave and they accommodated our request without the slightest bit of hesitation.
Car parking is free; make sure you get a card from the hotel reception and place the card on your dashboard.
The rooms are spacious and neat. Nothing fancy, but will work if you plan to spend just a day or two here.

I normally don’t write bad reviews because it isn’t worth my time and effort, I just know not to go back. However, in this case, my experience with Coast promoted me to write a review to save others the hassle of a bad experience.
We were quoted one price by the hotel clerk (not online) who said everything, taxes and fees, were included, but when we went to check out there were $ 40 of extra charges. We were emailed some other customer’s private credit card information. Two days after we paid our bill in full, there’s still a $ 250 hold on our credit card.
Awful experience, this is what I get for being lazy and not checking Unilocal before making a reservation.

Clean rooms, helpful and friendly staff, reasonable rates. The White Spot next to the lobby is wonderful. great staff there as well. The rooms are bit small and the bathrooms dated, but everything works well. We also stayed here a year ago and I would come back again.

Great location for tourists as it’s close to the airport, right by the Arthur Liang bridge for quick getaway to airport. Less than 5min without traffic.
as w/​coast, expect good trimmings w/​their bedding, they tend to have a higher quality. Maybe not 5star décor for their lobby & such.
But good to have a convenient White Spot, albeit a smaller one. Own parking lot in back which you have to register plate so you don’t get a ticket.
For locals, I love coming here to use the washroom b/​c they have a back entrance door that front desk won’ notice. Imagine it’s locked at night from the outside. Certainly spacious, open: 3 stalls.

power plugs behind the bed was unplugged, seems every time they change the sheets and moving the bed will knock the plugs loose.
AC does not work, was cooler with windows open
NO free parking, we had to pay $ 15 a night to park at their parking lot, I asked the staff if i can park on the street, they didn’t want to tell me anything about parking restriction and such and just said you can, but at your own risk, we went ahead and paid for the night, when we park we saw their sign «park at your own risk»! WHAT THE HECK! after the first night we parked up the hill next to the apartment complex where there’s no parking restrictions during the day and saved $ 15 a night
the most irritating thing was they were doing reconstruction of they other parking lot right outside of our room during the stay, I’m pretty sure they’re not full and would’ve place us somewhere other than where they’re redoing the parking area.
we paid around $ 65(plus fees/​tax) a night through priceline name your price, just make sure you’re ok with walking 3 minutes to your car if you want to save on parking
also it was about 5 minutes from the airport, but we didn’t fly in, but if you are then it might be a good value

This is a cheapo, decent place where I stay if I have to fly out of YVR on a morning flight. It’s relatively inexpensive (~$ 110 – 120), comfortable enough and allows you a decent night of rest. The White Spot associated with the hotel offers White Spot food (…) and the bar is unremarkable, but it’s the only one nearby (The old FRAM is closed). The traffic on Oak or Marine Drive can be noisy, but you can ask for a quiet room if you like. Rising up at a reasonable time and taking a quick shuttle to the airport is where the value lies.
I’ll stay there if I land at YVR too late for the last ferry home or at the Rosedale, where I still get a corporate discount.

The only thing that is ok with this place is the free wifi. Even though I barely get a connection. Shower pressure is very low. Rooms are fairly old and outdated but the bed and sheets arent too bad. Cleaning lady did tidy up the place well, i did tip her. Came with a tour group so I don’t know how much are the rooms. I wouldn’t stay here again if I come back to Vancouver.

This dates back to Jan ½, 2011 while we were in the midst of moving homes a few blocks from hotel. As party of two parents two teens, asked for 2 dbls and a cot, $ 107 plus taxes, «For an extra $ 10 we’ll give you room 345, the (obviously) bigger room.» After restaurant front desk said, «Wait! for $ 60 more move rooms; 345 is not big enough.» $ 169 plus taxes. No thanks. Okay, no cot. Next day cot outside room 338, a smaller room – I ask cleaning staff, Yes it was in there. I asked manager who said, «It was not bait-​n-​switch, it was not price-​discrimination» when they saw our former West Vancouver address.
My take is that if they HAD subsequently discovered it were true (my hunch is that clerk was told-​off then instructed what he wanted done, micro-​managing, taking decision-​making authority off of staff) and that IF our first room was not big enough for the rollaway, they might’ve upgraded us at no further charge (we had already left our stuff in the bigger «sorry, not big enough,» room). I feel it is courtesy, and it ought to be policy and training to do so. What’s more, room rates weren’t posted in the room – isn’t there a rule? a law even? although «in-​room massage» rates were posted. I mean, hotels never charge the posted rates, there’s always a reason to tell the client they are getting some «deal,» but I thought that for these very reasons there’s a rule? Guess not.
Without prompting the other customer in line at the desk said, «They upcharged us too,» $ 45 for parking when travel agent had firmly said it was included. Outdoor parking for me was $ 10, though his was in a parkade.
Last of all, the shower was wimpy pressure, takes four times as long to have a shower. Having done a road trip to a few other BC towns and hotels that week, the difference was remarkable.
Convenient to airport, nice that the reliable restaurant is there, it is our Friday-​after-​work watering hole, but I give the hotel-​part a Fawlty Towers rating for attempting to renegotiate the contract after the deal was struck.

Be sure your group will have enough beds during your stay at The Coast Vancouver Airport Hotel in Vancouver if you book the hotel with
. We had booked/​requested two rooms for 5 adults, and was assigned with ONE smaller-​than-​queen-​size bed in each room. As a result, one of us had to sleep on the floor because all the rooms were sold out during the first 2 nights of our 4-​night stay.
Also, two days before my arrival at the hotel, I learned that the hotel would charge $ 30 additional if you wanted a room with a larger bed because the room booked by
would guarantee a comfort room with one bed, although «3» guests was entered in the on-​line reservation.
According to the hotel management,
does not guarantee the number or size of bed in the room, even though we specifically entered FIVE adults (for 2 rooms) using
.
Also, we specifically requested
for a hotel in Richmond, Canada. We ended up with Coast Vancouver Airport, which is in Vancouver, even though the drive didn’t take long to get to Richmond.
Overnight parking costs $ 8.00 nightly. Entrance to the hotel was not obvious to us. The location of the hotel is so-​so. We decided to purchase physical damage insurance on our rental car after reading Mrs. F’s comment of 11/​22/​2008.
The (Indian?) maid was nice. The 2 front desk female employees were courteous. But there was nothing they could do in terms of giving us a room with two beds if the rooms were sold out.

It’s really good value for your money. I paid USD $ 200 for three nights stay I found on
.
You have to call them from the airport to pick you up, but going back to the airport is every half hour, just tell the concierge. You can also store your luggages there for a few hours after you check out.
They have a lot of problems with the parking lot, so park at your own risk. I knew about their parking lot break-​ins so I didn’t rent a car during my stay at the hotel. But I did take their shuttle to the car rentals at the airport. Just remember to tip!
I never like maid service so I notified the maid on the first day there that I would not require any service the whole three nights and she did not push me. Some places still insist on entering your room to empty the trash or whatnot and it has happened on a couple of occasions when I specifically requested no service but they still serviced.
The heating throughout the whole hotel was pretty high, like 21 C, but the a/​c unit in the room was pretty strong. Shower pressure was great! All amenities available in the bathroom. They are promoting being environmentally friendly, which I liked.
There’s a White Spot in the lobby — bonus! White Spot is my favorite Vancouver staple restaurant. I ate there twice in four days.
It’s an old hotel, but decent for a few nights’ stay for one person.
I’d stay at the Coast Airport Vancouver again.
