Bare bones hotel. Parking at the hotel was sold out and had to park 3 blocks away in the remote area the hotel had. Shared bathroom with the room next door. Pricing appeared to be the same as other hotels and should be adjusted for this. The staff was friendly, hotel served need for an overnight stay.

We had a good experience in the hotel. It’s comfortable and it has a good location. It’s just in front of the Stadium. Not very quiet but easy to walk to busses.

Surprised how modern, new and clean the hotel was. We stayed because of the great reviews and they were deserved. Great coffee in the a.m. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Enjoyed sitting on the Terrace and also rooftop. We did book an En Suite room so cannot speak to the shared accommodations.

Hotel Willo is a great, affordable and conveniently located hotel to stay at when visiting Vancouver. It's not elaborate, but still very comfortable especially when you are basically only going to sleep there. There is coffee and tea service in the morning, which was nice.
Hotel Willo is also located near the Port area of Vancouver, which made getting to the cruise ship I was boarding very easy. It's only about a 15 minute taxi ride from the hotel.
The staff was very helpful and provided us with a place to store our bags during the day after check out. I would definitely stay there again when I'm in Vancouver.
