Century Park Hotel Review
Alright, let’s talk about Century Plaza Hotel. The place that won me over with solid vibes, free perks, and a warm welcome for both me and my furry sidekick.

The Vibe: A Little Retro, A Lot Cozy
Is it the Four Seasons? Nope. But is it giving solid “your cool aunt’s downtown condo” energy? Absolutely. The decor might be a few years behind the latest Pinterest trends, but everything was clean, comfy, and far from shabby. It’s not Instagram-chic, but it’s definitely not giving “motel dirty, will I get murdered here vibes” either.
Staff So Friendly
From the front desk to housekeeping, everyone was genuinely nice – like, actually happy to see you. No robotic “Enjoy your stay” here. Just real, kind humans who seem to like their jobs. Wild concept, right?
Dog-Friendly?
As a proud dog parent, I’ve stayed in enough “pet-friendly” places to know it usually just means “we tolerate your dog.” Not here. No side-eye, no drama, just easy and chill.
Location, Location, Walk Everywhere
One of the biggest wins? The location. Smack dab in the heart of downtown Vancouver, you’re within walking distance of everything: Robson Street shopping, the seawall, trendy cafes, and more sushi spots than you could hit in a weekend (though I believe in you). Whether you're into people-watching in Yaletown or catching a sunset at English Bay, it’s all super accessible. No need for Ubers—just grab your sneakers and go.
Free Parking & Free Food? Yes, Please.
Free parking in downtown Vancouver = a small miracle.
$25 voucher for the hotel restaurant = even better.
Final Verdict: Would I Stay Again?
Heck yes—if the price is right. It’s not trying to be fancy, and honestly, that’s part of its charm. It’s the kind of place you feel comfortable in, like your favorite hoodie. Not the flashiest, but reliable, warm, and with surprisingly great perks.
So if you're traveling with a dog, a budget, or just want a stress-free stay in a prime location, Century Plaza might just be your downtown MVP.
