Does anyone know a reasonable rent a car philippines place to stay for a couple nights in the west end of Vancouver, BC for 4 adults? There will be one friend that has difficulty walking long distances. Do you need a car in Vancouver?
Hmmmmmmmph... well, because central Vancouver is surrounded on most sides by water, it is fairly compact and not particularly hilly. The bus system is fine, and decent rent a car philippines people are walking the streets at all hours of the night - in numbers not matched by most North American cities of considerable size. The weather, while variable, doesn't typically get too bad for too long, to limit walking outdoors.
I am not really sure what you mean by "west end." I stayed at the Rosedale on Robson - very nice hotel- I had a suite - it has a full kitchen - close to many activities, it has a restaurant in the ground floor
I've stayed in 3 different places, all in the Denham/Robson area near Stanley park. Times Square Suites is lovely if you want kitchen facilities and two bedrooms. If you are bothered by street noise forgo the view and ask for a suite at the back. If you prefer discount, look at Buchan. Some of the rooms have shared bath down the hall, not everyone's cup of tea. Coast Hotel also has suites and is acceptable but doesn't have the intimate feel of Times Square. I've always relied on public transit during our stays but the Hop On option is likely a good choice for your party.
No, you don't need a car at all, as Vancouver, especially it's downtown core is all walkable, but if your friend has difficulty walking, who's to say - you might want to splurge on a car. Otherwise, public transit is excellent, and it would be worthwhile paying the $9 or whatever it is for a day pass, as that would be more convenient than paying the $2.75 in change every 90 minutes you wish to use the bus, the Skytrain or the Canada Line.
The issue with having a car in Vancouver is that it's expensive compared to other North American cities. Parking meters run from 9am until 10pm 7 days a week and cost around $3 an hour. Hotel parking often costs $20-40 per day, and most attractions rent a car philippines have paid parking.
"Reasonable" is a relative term - what's reasonable for Vancouver hotel prices: the Times Square Suites, the Sandman Suites on Davie, the Burrard, the YWCA Hotel. These are all reasonable for Vancouver. Perhaps expensive compared to small town Texas, or cheap compared to Tokyo or London... but for Vancouver, these places are good, all in walkable places with restaurants, shops, the seawall, etc. nearish enough.
