This is a great location if you need to be near UBC for business or pleasure, or prefer the local neighborhoods to downtown or near the airport, where most hotels are. Easy access on foot, bike, or short drive to the Seawall path and numerous trails in Pacific Spirit Park, short drive or bus ride to Kitsilano neighborhood with lots of great dining and shopping. We also discovered it's literally just behind the UBC Aquatics Centre, which has public hours for indoor lap and family swim. Rooms are clean and comfortable, and kitchens fully equipped for cooking. Staff was very helpful. Great alternative to Air B and B.
