Cambie Lodge is conveniently located near downtown and Stanley Park. The house is charming from the outside and has a pleasant outdoor seating area.
However, the interior is quite dated. Our room was small, with a tiny pedestal sink beside the bed because the bathroom contained only the toilet and shower/tub. The biggest issue was the noticeable musty smell in the room and linens. Although the bedding appeared clean, the odor affected our comfort. The pillows were lumpy and had only standard pillowcases without protective covers, although the mattress did have a protective barrier.
The shower had very low water pressure, and the temperature fluctuated quickly from comfortable to extremely hot. Toiletries were provided, including conditioner. The air conditioner cooled the room well but was loud. There was also a good-sized mini refrigerator, small television, coffee maker, and coffee. Rooms are cleaned on the third day rather than daily, and street noise could be heard at night.
Breakfast was served at the neighboring B&B, reached by a short path. The staff were very friendly, and offerings included made-to-order eggs, a vegetable omelet, French toast, fresh fruit, muffins, yogurt, and cereal.
Overall, the location, breakfast, and staff were the strongest aspects. However, given the musty smell, uncomfortable pillows, and bathroom and shower setup, I did not feel the accommodations matched the price and would not stay again.
