One of the difficulties of visiting your son or daughter at UBC is the dearth of commercial accommodations in Kits, Kerrisdale, Dunbar or Point Grey. You end up staying downtown and driving for ages through Vancouver traffic to join your offspring for lunch or dinner. The solution? The West Coast Suites, conveniently located near the student union building on campus,... More

I had business on UBC's campus. I thought it would be easier to stay on campus than drive the 20 minutes from the airport. The website does not provide a lot of information regarding where to check-in or park. I arrived at 10pm, it was dark and rainy. I parked my car in the parking garage and then walked to... More

If you're needing to be close to UBC the West Coast Suites is great value, well located and very comfortable. My one criticism is that it is difficult to find; the check in is actually inside the Walter Gage Residences at UBC. The sign for West Coast Suites it hidden by the lush vegetation around the building, is not lit,... More

Rooms were nice and spacious compared to a non-suite hotel. Clean comfortable and nicely equipped but lacking in amenities such as a restaurant on site or room service. Not even a coffee kiosk. This was off putting for the price. Rooms were over priced and then adding parking cost on top for a small lot and it was just not... More

Location is perfect for a UBC campus visit, and the suites are nicely equipped, clean and comfortable. During our stay, there were groups of apparently intoxicated persons rampaging on the corridors outside the room at night. When they tried to forcefully enter the room at 4am, we called security, but nobody answered. Luckily the door held shut. Nobody could be... More

Was a good hotel, and the staff was quite good at trying to help when they could. There was no place to use a printer though for printing boarding passes, etc. and I have no idea about pools and whatnot as I did not use those facilities. The location was decent for overall travel, but excellent if you needed to... More

Of course, one can decide to stay in a student dormitory room for 180 dollars per night, with no reception and no services available and the only telephone number given pointing to an office that closes at 6 pm. But then, one can as well stay elsewhere. Even though the West Coast Suites may be nicely located for a visit... More

I've lived for nine months both at the West Coast Suites and Gage Towers back in 2009, and I would recommend it to everybody visiting Vancouver. The staff has always been lovely and helpful, every problem solved in just a moment. The connection to Van's Downtown is excellent, bus loop just across the street. Comfortable and clean rooms, the cleaning... More

We stayed here for five nights and then again for five nights a week later. Our room was 3001 which was easy to access, quiet and with a very nice view into a landscaped area. The bedroom separate from the sitting room was very comfortable and useful (with a kitchenette that we did not need but which had everything you... More
