Hotel at the Waldorf

The vintage rock n' roll motel inspired

Bedding is minimal

Low price. Perfect location for accessing Commercial Drive on foot or transit; easy transit access from downtown; great retro architecture and style; lots of storage space in room (dresser drawers, closet); all the necessities including a safe; nice modern bed linens; not too warm (unlike many hotel rooms); nice to have an empty mini fridge to put our own stuff in. Grocery store across the street.

Fan in bathroom always on when light is on, would be best if on its own switch (noisy); the only unused wall outlet that worked was the one in the bathroom (for charging phones). Guests next door were noisy past midnight (not your fault but the walls let the sound through easily).

The hotel was great. Exactly what I expected/wanted - a 40s building with a character, in a wonderful location. The lady at the reception is great, too.

The shower had some hairs left on the walls. Not that appealing. Saturday night was noisy because of the Tiki bar downstairs but it was expected so no big deal.
