Radisson Hotel

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 04 Jan 2010 rated 10 out of 10.

The front desk manager was very nice and helpful, even waived the parking fee for us. The room was newly renovated, however, we didn't have a chance to enjoy it. The hotel lost electric power minutes after we checked in due to area black out. We came back in couple hours only to be told that the power would not be restored until 11pm. The hotel was the only building which was still in the dark in the block. The staff was great to help everyone transfer to another hotel.

Positives: Great front desk staff who is very helpful.

Negatives: The hotel does not have enough backup generators.

We enjoyed this hotel - very clean and nicely appointed. It is conveniently located in Richmond on the main drag, very close to shopping and many restaurants.

Positives: The staff is wonderful and very friendly.

Negatives: The parking is not very convenient - the lot is very busy.

Negatives: Nothing.

WOW. This is more then a 3 star hotel. I would definitely come back to this one again. The other 3 stars did not compare.

Positives: Wow, it was beautiful. Sleep number beds!

Negatives: Too much construction around the hotel.

Recently renovated and therefore very up-scale decor. Rooms, and bathroom were very clean. Parking spaces not enough and over-charged for $10.00 per day.

Positives: Location is close to shopping areas.

Negatives: Not too many in-hotel restaurant choices.

I think this hotel is great for the price. The room I stayed in was newly renovated with a very modern, simple, chic style to it. The sleep number beds are awesome. Great flat screen TV. Happy with the small gymnasium, although they should extend the hours. The location is very convenient to nearby markets, mall, restaurants, coffee shops, etc. everything is within a 5 minute walk.

Positives: Clean, comfortable, great location.

Negatives: None, but the Richmond area is rather boring. Everything closes so early.

I am disappointed with the standards for a Radisson Inn. It was not close to any other Radisson Inn that I had stayed.

Positives: Nice hotel, but not clean.

Negatives: Smelly lobby and rooms.

Negatives: Restaurant was under construction.

Comfortable rooms, convenient to airport and Richmond area businesses. Many restaurants (mostly Asian cuisine) within walking distance.

Negatives: Paying additional for parking, under construction.

Check-in was not the best. At 8:00 pm on a weeknight, there was only one staff member at the front counter, thus I had to wait for 5 mins before I could check-in. However the check-in process was speedy and the staff member was friendly and courteous. I requested a higher level floor and the staff member honored my request by giving me a room on the top floor. The room was clean and renovated. Firmness adjustable beds was nice. LCD screen TV. Two complaints: 1) The air conditioning had a maximum setting of 18.5C, which was not comfortable enough (It was cooler to open the window!); 2) The control for drain in the bathtub did not raise or lower the plunger correctly. Otherwise, the hotel stay was excellent. Check-out was swift.

Positives: Great location, comfortable beds.

Negatives: Air conditioning was not strong enough.

The rooms had just been re-done and they were very nice. Great TV, beds good, clean and attractive. I loved it! The only negative is that the lobby and restaurant were still being refurbished and the lobby is basically nonexistent, just a couple of folding tables. The restaurant is not functioning at present, but it does offer a limited room service and a very small breakfast buffet located in a conference room. But don't let that deter you, the rooms are great!

Positives: Recently re-done rooms are very nice.

Negatives: Renovation still under way in lobby and restaurant.

Restaurant was understaffed. My friends Ham and cheese sandwich came without the cheese. It was corrected.

Positives: The sleep comfort bed was very nice.

Negatives: Hotel under construction.

The allowed me to have a late checkout which greatly accommodated my needs. Room service was excellent. The staff was very kind. I got a free ride to the airport via the hotel shuttle and the gentleman was fantastic.

Positives: Staff was very accommodating.

Negatives: Could use some remodeling.

Fine for overnight stay when using Vancouver Airport.

Positives: Transportation to airport.

Negatives: Not that pedestrian friendly and we didn't have a car.

The Radisson President really needs a rehab - carpet in the 8th floor hall and our room was really shabby, stained, outdated. Room decor didn't coordinate well, plus depressing colors, and the most generic hotel art that I've ever seen. Hotel pool was out of commission during our entire 3-day stay. Not set up well for business travelers who need to connect to the internet: no wireless connection and you have to go down to the lobby to sign out a cable to connect. Many rooms will be very noisy when the Sky Train extension down No. 3 road is completed, as the tracks run immediately adjacent to rooms on the north/west of the building. Little housekeeping details need attention - the floor near the soda machine on our floor was super-sticky and dirty and a revolting, sticky, ash-covered garbage can stood outside the main hotel doors.

Positives: Convenient location for airport.

Negatives: Room needed a redo badly, didn't get a sleep number bed.

It would not be my first choice but it was adequate for our needs.

Positives: It was airport close with shuttle, restaurant in hotel.

Negatives: Ethnic area, industrial area.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 25 Jul 2007 rated 5 out of 10.

This hotel was probably better to be classified as a 2 or 2.5 star because of the level of linens and bed. Amenities were not up to the standard that I expected.

Positives: Free parking and close to the airport.

Negatives: Room and amenities were not up to my specification.
