Ponderosa Studios at UBC

It was pretty interesting staying on campus in a dormitory. I got the room at a good price so I somewhat satisfied; however, I saw higher prices at one point and I didn't think the room was worth that much. Parking at a nearby garage was $16/24 hours for hotel guests. They gave me two voucher for free muffins for the entire stay despite the fact that there were two of us staying for two nights. It didn't bother me, but I thought they could be more generous with muffins.The room smelled somewhat like a men's locker when I first entered. I couldn't pinpoint the origin of the smell, but I was able to air it out by opening the window and turning on the fan.

I stayed there as the cheapest selection for a hotel in Vancouver, but was only visiting Vancouver for a series of concerts downtown. It was not convenient for that purpose.

Great place

Was absolutely fabulous! The staff was so friendly and helpful and the amenities were perfect. Being on an upper floor, we woke up to a gorgeous view of the ocean and mountains every morning. If we are fortunate enough to visit Vancouver again, we will definitely choose the same hotel!

No air conditioning, very hot, no iron or iron board
