Hotel Willo (formerly YWCA Hotel Vancouver)
I would say it’s important to know that there’s heavy construction going on in the area. If you are driving a vehicle, it is very difficult to turn into the property. Very few access points. Otherwise, I would say this is a lovely hotel and I will stay here again. As I have done many times.

River Rock Casino Resort
Good location for public transport. If you wanted an early breakfast or late night snack you had a food court inside the casino. Starbucks and a gift shop were all available if you didn’t mind a lineup. Didn’t try the Gordon Ramsay restaurant
