Took my relatives here and it is a nice opportunity to see the changes it has made since the last time I went. The gondola was crowded and people are looking for good window views. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. You gets views of urban and wildlife - it’s Vancouver after all which is nice. They have nice beach seats and picnic tables in most areas.

BRING BUG SPRAY - lots of mosquitoes during the summer and regretted not being prepared for that.

I got breakfast and lunch during my time at the Faculty Club. The complementary breakfast which had pasties, fruits, and teas - self serve. I also paid for a breakfast and got the Golden Bear which is the classic breakfast. For lunch, I got the sandwich with fries. Got the creme brûlée but they overdid the burnt sugar. Forgot to mention that all dishes comes with freshly cut fruits. The dining atmosphere is nice a cozy. Get a window seat if you can as you get a nice nature view of UC Berkeley.

Front desk staff were friendly and helpful. The bed was comfy. When night falls, the halls are quite dark and hard to see. It is a historic hotel so maintenance of the rooms is hard to upkeep. Just let staff know and they did their best to accommodate.
