Is Vancouver Airport Sheraton Worth It? Free Shuttle
Just stayed at the Sheraton Vancouver Airport Hotel, and it exceeded all expectations—from location to service to dining! Here’s my detailed breakdown: 📍 Location (10/10) 4km from Vancouver Airport (YVR) – 10-minute drive, with a free 24/7 shuttle (runs every 30 mins, super punctual). Richmond Centre Mall right next door – packed with restaurants, supermarkets, and shops (no need for Uber!). Pro Tip: Look for the "Shuttle Bus" signs on Level 3 at YVR. Need a ride back? The front desk schedules it in seconds. 🛏️ Room (9/10) – "Wait, This Is an Airport Hotel?!" Deluxe King Room: Huge space with Sheraton’s signature Heavenly Bed (medium-firm perfection) + dual pillow options (soft/firm). Work-Friendly: Ergonomic chair + spacious desk (great for remote work). Bathroom: Rain shower with strong water pressure, plush towels, and robes. Extras: Nespresso machine, free water, and amazing soundproofing (zero plane noise!). View Tip: Request a high-floor room for mountain/ocean glimpses! 💁 Service (9.5/10) – Sheraton’s Secret Weapon Check-In: Lightning-fast (<5 mins) with genuinely warm staff. Shuttle Drivers: Helped with luggage + reminded me of my flight time! Housekeeping: Impeccable daily cleaning + timely coffee/water refills. 🍽️ Dining – Hidden Gem Alert! Harold’s Kitchen & Bar (hotel restaurant) surprised me: Breakfast: Buffet or à la carte. The smoked salmon, fresh pastries, and hot dishes were stellar. Lunch/Dinner: Must-try steak and burgers (high-quality meat, huge portions). $30-40 CAD/person. Bar: Chill vibe with creative cocktails + local craft beers. Pro Tip: Outdoor patio seating = perfect for sunny days! ✅ Final Verdict: Who Should Stay Here? Transit Travelers: Free shuttle + proximity to YVR = no-brainer. Shoppers/Foodies: Richmond Centre’s endless options steps away. Staycationers: Surprisingly luxurious for an airport hotel! #Vancouver #AirportHotels #Sheraton #TravelHacks #LuxuryForLess #YVR #RichmondBC
