$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. From the International Terminal you add the terminal bus.
Worth paying more?
Yes for a night either side of a flight. Check the dates for conventions, which raise the rate.

Who it suits
A family or a connection where you want space and the shortest walk from the SkyTrain.
Why we would choose it
Booking.com says the SkyTrain stops outside, and the suites have room to spread out.
The compromise
Check-out is 11:00, an hour earlier than the Marriott and Renaissance, and it has less to offer than the full-service hotels. From the International Terminal you add the terminal bus.
Worth paying more?
Yes if you want to spend less and accept a small trade-off.
