The exterior and grounds of the property are fairly rundown (asphalt torn up, paint peeling), but the room itself was super clean and in quite good shapevery comfortable. Given the low cost for the Vancouver-area, I would recommend for anyone travelling here on a budget.

Helpful staff and super cheap
Dirty and most things are stained
Ok for a few nights in a self contained apartment in the city, or to stay where the Winchester brothers and Mulder have been

I stayed here once and someone literally got stabbed with a bottle and tried to break into my room. Staff were super nice about it but wouldn't comp my stay unfortunately.

I would not recommend this place to anyone. It looks nothing like in the pictures. It is far from everything, there is not even a Tim Hortons around. There is no air conditioning, the TV doesn't work, it's clear the place hasn't been updated since it opened. there is NO USABLE WIFI. Us and the other tenants had to go hover around the reception office to get a signal and even then it was the slowest thing I have ever seen. For the price it is not worth it, and it is nothing as advertised.
