I have not stayed in the rooms of the Granville Island Hotel, so do not observe the ratings below as a reflection of the rooms. I have eaten in their bar, and I know the area well, so I am writing this review to help potential visitors who do not know the city of Vancouver.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD: Quaint Granville Island has a massive public market where produce and prepared foods are available en masse. There is a thriving local theatre community in the summertime, and several great restaurants. In a way, it could be construed as a tourist trap, but residents and tourists alike seem to feel that there's good reason to flock there. The island is vibrant, safe, and welcoming. It is centrally located in Vancouver's downtown--between the trendy "West End" and the artsy Kitsilano.

THE BAR: An open-concept room with panoramic views of the harbour. Food is good--a bit on the expensive side, but good quality and worth the view. Service is standard--sometimes friendly, sometimes lacklustre.

THE ROOMS: I have looked at the rooms, which are nicely appointed. They tend to be in the $200/night range, which is decent for downtown Vancouver.

THE DRAWBACKS: Granville Island is not easily accessible by public transport. There is a parking lot at the hotel, so for people who are happy to rent a car, this isn't a problem.

OVERALL: A place I could well end up staying one time. (I will certainly amend this review if I do!) I wouldn't stay there in winter, because the community is most alive in the summer.
