Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Sandman Hotel Vancouver Airport is appreciated for its convenient location close to the airport, with a free, punctual shuttle service operating frequently. Many guests find the beds comfortable, complemented by soft bedding, ensuring a restful stay. The attached Moxies restaurant is a plus, praised for good food; however, some guests have noted that the hotel appears somewhat dated. The easy access to the sky train, about a 20-minute walk away, is also a notable advantage.

Excellent Airport Proximity

excellent shuttleon-site restaurantgood menunew carpet smell

The airport shuttle was excellent and easy to find. I used it both to and from the airport. The on-site restaurant and bar offered convenient dining with a good menu. My room was good and had enough space to keep my things organized. I liked the new carpet smell (a fresh touch!).

The bed mattresses were a bit soft for my personal taste.

I enjoyed a free hotel shuttle to the airport. It was prompt. The room was clean, and the staff were attentive to my needs. Moxie's, the on-site restaurant, had great food and wonderful service. The easy check-in process added to a relaxed stay.

The room felt a bit too warm, even with the air conditioning running. This affected sleep quality.

The airport shuttle operates frequently. It ran at fifteen and forty-five minutes past each hour. The bathroom had decent water pressure and temperature (a small but important detail!). The attached Moxies restaurant provided a convenient dining option.

Stairs to the loft bedroom were a slight inconvenience during the night.
