Cambie Lodge B&B

The location was very good. The B&B is located only less than 10 mins walking distance to metro station, Broadway-City Hall, and a few minutes walk to nearby a shopping center, cafes, and restaurants. We had a room in half-basement, but it was larger than we expected. Friendly staffs who were only a phone call away to answer our questions. It was very comfortable stay.

Our room had to use a shower room outside of the room. That was not a problem at all for us, but the shower door needs to be taller and the shower head needs to be cleaned or replaced. I tried to make the shower head pointing as straight down as possible but the water still got out over top of the door. After the shower, I noticed my change of clothes which I put by the window got wet, and I had to wipe the floor so no one will slip using the bathroom.

The bed was comfortable. They had someone come in and fix breakfast. There were several options. The place was centrally located. Not too far from downtown and the docks. Near the train and bus system.

There was no actual host on the premises. Someone met us there. Was available for us to call if we needed them. Someone else came and cooked breakfast in the morning. But there was no one actually at the B&B except guests. This one has quite a few steps to climb to get to our room. Which made it a bit challenging for our heavy luggage. We also had a locked balcony which someone forgot to collect the beer bottles from a previous guest. Not too big a deal. The balcony was ok, but dust and not that inviting. And another pet peeve I have about most B&B, is that this one, like most does not provide any breakfast options for those who may need to leave early. Breakfast is between 8:00 and 10:00. If you need to leave earlier, you go without.

We stayed here last year and came back this year, so that should say something. Make sure to request the "Broadway" room. Larger and has it's own porch. The room we had this year was a bit cramped, but perfectly fine.
