Overall, my stay at the Hotel Arts was convenient, efficient and close to key sites I needed to visit will in town on business. It was also close to many excellent restaurants and cafés which was great. I found the pool space would have been much more enjoyable in the summer time, and poolside service was inconsistently available. Overall, it was a great independent option that wasn't right in the middle of the busy downtown core, but still easily accessible to the LRT, 17th Ave, Mission St. and other parts of the city.
