Room, typical: $203–$564
Transfer: $0Free SkyTrain
Typical total: $203–$564

Who it suits: A late arrival or an early flight when you want a full-service hotel on the SkyTrain.
Why we would choose it: It is on the SkyTrain, which is free, and it has a restaurant and an indoor pool.
The compromise: You ride the SkyTrain and walk to the building, and the hotel is large and often busy with conventions.
Worth paying more?: Yes for a night either side of a flight. Check the dates for conventions, which raise the rate.

Worth paying more?: Yes if you want to spend less and accept a small trade-off.
