There is also a heated indoor pool equipped with a wheelchair lift for those with mobility issues. The place also has a hot tub.

Just outside the pool area is the hotel’s outdoor patio. The area has a variety of chairs and lounges to enjoy when the weather is nice. There is also an outdoor fire pit, and a barbecue for folk wanting to cook their own food (or at least there was when we stayed there in the fall of 2018).

Long-Term Amenities

The hotel also has services available for guests booking extended stays. Laundry services can be found within the hotel for an extra charge. Parking can be purchased daily or for a flat monthly rate. In addition, all rooms come equipped with a full kitchen and enhanced work stations.

Dining at the Residence Inn

Although the Residence Inn does have a barbecue on its outdoor patio, there are no on-site dining options at the hotel itself (other than its breakfast dining room). However, there is no shortage of food options in the area.

The core of downtown Vancouver is home to many restaurants. There are a number of places close by. There are also places within Davie Village, just a few blocks up on Davie Street, and along the Granville Strip.

TIP: When booking a hotel in downtown Vancouver always check the prices at StayVancouverHotels. They offer competitive prices, plus bonus incentives for booking through them. We booked through StayVancouverHotels.com when we stayed at the Residence Inn and we got an amazing deal.

Residence Inn Video

For an idea of what a room and the swimming pool area at the hotel look like, check out the following video. As you’ll see, the rooms are a good size and come with a small kitchen area. The swimming pool is also a nice size.

What you won’t see in the video is that inside the cupboards of the kitchen are plates, kitchen utensils and a pot and pan. The kitchen area is small, but also very practical and nice to have.
