Our group of 6 seniors had stayed there over night. What we like the house is there are a kitchen that we were able to cook some simple Chinese food, and 2.5 bathroom for 6. The only thing that We wound not like was the stairs and the short trip to the house when having to take laggages from street parking spot all the way up, because 6 of us from age 62 - 69 years old.

I would have loved to see African Americans. I did not. This is a heavy Asian populated community. I love and socialize witj all people. However, I would have appreciated seeing some AA people. I really did not explore Richmond. I performed the evening I arrived and the rest of my time was spent in Vancouver.

Parking is great and the location of the hotel. Aircon vibrate so loud. Room 606. Breakfast is ok but server is not friendly. I was told by front desk breakfast is 6am to 11am. But the server told us only on the weekend. Got confuse cause we check in monday to wednesday. Why did the front desk told us at til 11 is breakfast.

Pros: The accommodations, location, and access to local services. Strong but unsecured wi-fi service that doesn’t turn off middle of the night. Excellent water pressure even on 6th floor. Fruit and yogurt at breakfast was good. Did you know there is a nature center in Richmond? It’s a hidden gem! Cons: continental breakfast has lots of carbs (breads, dry cereal, commercial juices). It lacks protein items such as boiled eggs or nuts at the cereal section. The emphasis was on the waffles but it was served with high fructose corn syrup! We’re in Canada, where is the maple syrup? Upgrade a little to descent coffee that does not taste and smell like ashes and most everyone would appreciate that in the morning.

Transportation is excellent with easy access to wherever you want to go, there are many options to choose from with the exception of Uber( it is has yet to arrive in Vancouver). It is an authentic Asian cultural experience and a must see of historic sites. If you are travelling solo it is safe, fun, and exhilarating for there are many things one can explore like biking, parks, beaches, shopping, eating, et al. It is close to the US border and there are events all year round. The Steveston Village is a must see and you can go whale watching if you so wish. The key is to plan, plan, and plan.

Lots to see and do......a variety of shopping from clothes, gifts, groceries and restaurants... Gulf Ocean Cannery, Steveston Tram Bldg, fisherman's Wharf, London Heritage Farm, Dyke Street (hiking), great bakeries, and Visitor Centre.....planetarium in Vancouver, auto tour around Vancouver, Steveston and Richmond.....
