Q: Going there on vacation for a week. Looking for a good location, close to nightlife, etc. without breaking the bank. ... if that exists.
A: Best Western Chateau Granville it is located about three blocks from Robson street, which is in the hear to fdowntown with great shopping, restuarants and nightlife. I think you can generally get a room for around $120.00 a night, sometimes even less. Although the hotel does not have a fitness centre you get complimentary use of a gym down the street from the hotel. You do also get complimentary high speed internet access and the rooms are decent size. I would recommend staying in the tower rooms, I have never stayed in the courtyard rooms.
