Q:
A: you can stay downtown at the Sandman Hotel, Coast Hotel, Chateau Granville, Best Western and Bosmans. They should all have rooms under $100 unless there is something going on in the city. Here is a link below that you can use to check out rates. There are a lot of inexpensive hotels near Granville Street which is right downtown which is where all the bars are. Since BC's drinking age is 19 all the Americans come up on the weekends to party and they too look for rooms that are around the $100 mark. From Granville Street, you can walk to Yaletown which is a cool funky district, Gastown which is the old part of town and walk Robson Street which is the fashion district. http://www.tourismvancouver.com/visitors/
