jmpiterniak Posted February 14, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Hi, We're cruising on HAL out of Vancouver and get in late the night prior to sailing. We're staying at the Days Inn Downtown, and are planning on a cab from the airport, since we get in late and don't know the area at all. Any thoughts on getting from the hotel to Canada Place for the ship? Is it walkable, or does the hotel offer a shuttle? If anyone knows I would love to hear from you ... thanks!

KreinKrunker Posted February 15, 2017 #2 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Is it walkable, or does the hotel offer a shuttle? Stayed there a number of years ago. It is walkable, if you don't have much luggage, but I'd take a taxi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlxo Posted February 15, 2017 #3 Share Posted February 15, 2017 (edited) Day's Inn is a 3 block walk.... generally easy level walk. Do check online reviews of that hotel if there are potential issues. The airport and downtown is a short 30 minute cab ride.... feel free to look at airport value hotels as an alternative to save money... especially if you don't have time for sightseeing.

xlxo Posted February 15, 2017 #4 Share Posted February 15, 2017 From another post.... I see you need a room for June 17th, 2017. Looking at booking.com in USD for other value properties as a comparison... $149 Days Inn $206 Blue Horizon by the airport $117 Holiday Inn Express $144 Days Inn Vancouver Airport $152 Coast Vancouver Airport $171 Raddison Vancouver Airport If you got the Day's Inn for $149 USD.... that's a great price. BTW.... June 18th is a two ship day. Boarding should be easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare martincath Posted February 15, 2017 #5 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I'd say that if you wheeled your own bags from baggage claim at YVR to the cab queue, you can handle the walk from the hotel. You probably covered more distance with them than the <400 yards from hotel to pier! Sidewalks are wide and level and there are ramps at the pedestrianized part of Hornby with the stairs that Google correctly mentions. Walking is also likely the fastest way - even if there were a cab waiting right outside the hotel for you, the bottleneck as they all fight to get into Canada Place means walking is probably still faster. But if you can't handle your bags or are just feeling terminally lazy that day, CAD$10 should cover fare and tip even if there's bad traffic...

jmpiterniak Posted February 15, 2017 Author #6 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Already booked the hotel so we're locked in and fine with it. I'm good with walking even though hubby says otherwise because of "all the baggage". We'll see how we feel the day of. Hoping we get a chance to spend a few hours the day of the cruise in Vancouver; wishing we had booked an extra day there - it looks wonderful! Thank you everybody!!

I booked it so long ago that I don't actually remember...:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
