Hotel is on the left at the corner of Hastings and Renfrew St. Getting there: The easiest way to arrive is by the hotel’s own airport shuttle. Guests can arrange for pick-up using a courtesy phone in the baggage claim area. Fares are $7.50 CDN per person. Taxis can be faster to catch, with one-way fares of $26–$35 CDN. Rental cars and limousines are more than $36 CDN. Fees subject to change without notice. Rental cars are available from this Web site. Getting around: Some shopping and dining venues are in the immediate area of the hotel but for more choices, guests can ride the hotel's complimentary shuttle service anywhere within a 5-mile (8 km) radius that includes downtown and parts of Burnaby. Once downtown, visitors can ride the SeaBuses which cross Burrard Inlet into North Vancouver, and the SkyTrain that connects to the suburbs. Fares on both are less than $5 CDN. Fees subject to change without notice. Driving in downtown can be confusing because of one-way streets but it is generally smooth and is the best way to travel from the city up the coast or to the islands. |
