Manyana Restaurant

I had a job interview here with a very nasty lady before it closed. The lady was a manager, she did not believe my background when I was interviewing for an night auditor. I told her my security background experiences as she kept on shooting her big mouth off, "Security doesn't do this or that, don't you have any property management experience?" Yes I do, however I never used it as security was the closest I ever got to using my property background experiences. She kept on shooting off her big mouth and Holiday Inn pulled out from being a partner with the hotel. I hope she lost her job; if she talks like that to me, I can only imagine how she treats major clients. If I was a major client and she started talking off the hip by letting her big mouth control the business, how long do you think I would be doing business with that company? Not very long.

We stayed for a Saturday night on our way through to downtown Vancouver. I read the reviews before booking online, and was expecting to see our room in good repair/updated as was promised to the reviews of two months ago. Instead, the room had duct tape holding the carpet at the threshold, and the air conditioning held no comfort whatsoever. There was a two-by-four jutting out from the box springs on one bed. However, the room, and hotel, were reasonably clean. The front desk staff were courteous and helpful. The pool area had an attendant who was bright and cheerful. I did not venture into the bar or dining room, but the bar was busy at night and the breakfast looked packed as I was leaving. I imagine the staff has shown great improvement vs. previous reviews, but the zero dollar maintenance is going to bury the place. Would I stay there again? no. My wife disagrees, thinks they deserve another chance. I will endorse the staff, as I'm sure they work very hard to keep customers satisfied.

Stayed there during a business trip due to everything else is being booked. Nice comfy rooms with balconies overlooking the pool. Can get loud if there are lots of kids playing in the pool. Beds are comfy, service is nice. Giving 3 stars because the restaurant menu isn't that great, and the balcony doors need to be better insulated. Otherwise great place to stay for families.

I recommend not going to this hotel. They have nice design on the outside with swimming pools but the food and the hotel room was really bad. The breakfast was just barely edible... And the hotel room was just horrible... I really would not recommend this hotel room is really dusty, old and cold. The housekeepers really did a bad job cleaning the room. The shelves are very dusty and the air conditioner was broken so the cold air kept licking and when I woke up I had really bad throat and also my family had one too. We kept coughing and I spitted old dusts and my tongue was black because of the dusts I was breathing when I was sleeping. It was just an awful experience... This hotel was the worst hotel I’ve experienced. Never go to this hotel, it looks nice outside but the inside is horrible.

Room was relatively clean, but very dated. Bathroom light was burned out. No continental breakfast, not even a coffee bar, just terrible in room coffee. Bed was comfortable and the hotel was quiet. Lots of parking, even for large vehicles. No restaurants within walking distance but there is a decent restaurant overlooking the covered courtyard inside.

We spent 3 nights here recently. The front desk staff and houskeeping were friendly and accommodating. The room was clean and you could control the temperature. loved the balcony overlooking the pool, which was beautiful. The restaurant I would give a 2.. very slow. Food was not hot and they were out of a lot of the choices. ONLY other downfall was half the pool was closed for swimming lessons from 10-3. Kinda weird. Will definitely be back.
