This hotel is in a good location for all parts of town. Walking distance to everything from Robson st, to Gastown, to stanley park. We were upgraded on arrival for an extra $10 a nite to a room with balcony and city view . Fully equipped kitchen , separate bedroom etc. Very clean. Hotel has pool and full spa facilities. Pool is nice but no atmosphere up there. Reception staff were really helpful. Parking is an extra $21a night which is a bit much . The area itself is the gay area of vancouver so be prepared for lots of gay bars etc and the "adult shops" accross the road . Vancouver itself seems a bit run down in parts and there are a lot of homeless people around . The hotel is near the hospital and for a lot of the night you will hear the ambulance and police sirens going . Also the AC is not very modern and is very noisy. So turn it on during the day when you are out - cos you wont sleep during the night with it on , between that and the sirens ............

Just spend 1 night at this hotel but it was my 3rd stay here, other stays were 4-5 nights, and as usual was quite pleased with everything..On arrival my friend and myself were greeted by a warm welcome. Our room was on the 22nd and this gave us an amazing view, although I am afraid of heights, my friend loved it.
The suite was very clean and well kept as usual.
Very nice stay with the wonderful location. Very quiet in the hotel during our stay, noise from outside but you expect that in a city that size.
One problem still remains though are those strange washer/ dryer machines, as I still cannot figure them out and others say the same.

We've stayed here twice. Great location: lots of neighborhood restaurants. Beautiful, quiet suites. Great views. Don't let the dingy exterior fool you, this is a great hotel.

My wife and I wanted a reasonably priced, nice, clean place that was well located, as we did not have a car. The Sandman Suites Davie was perfect! It is located in the West End, in a very interesting, cosmopolitan neighborhood. We could walk to English Bay, Stanley Park, Robson St, False Creek, Yaletown, The Granville Island aquabus, all within 10-15 minutes. The area is safe for walking at night, and is full of good ethnic restaurants, wonderful fruit & vegetable markets, bakeries, coffee houses, supermarkets, drug stores, etc. Everything you need is just outside the hotel. It is also on a main bus route, so getting around on public transit is easy.
The hotel is clean, and the staff is friendly & helpful. The rooms have a full kitchen, but we were there to try the wonderful restaurants! It does give you the convenience of not eating every meal out. There is a pool ( I think!) and health club, sauna, etc., which we did not use. Also, free internet access, which did not work for us, but no big deal. There is also a nice looking restaurant, which we did not try. I would definitely stay here in the future, and recommend the Sandman Suites Davie to friends. Note, there is another Sandmnn property in town, so do not confuse the two.
