Best Western Plus Uptown Hotel

Best Western Plus Uptown Hotel is a mid-range hotel at 205 Kingsway, near Main Street in the Mount Pleasant district of Vancouver, British Columbia. Mount Pleasant is a lively neighbourhood east of downtown known for independent breweries, cafes, galleries and murals, and the hotel sits on Kingsway, a major diagonal road that carries buses toward downtown and Burnaby. The Broadway-City Hall Canada Line station is within walking distance, giving a rail link to downtown and the airport, and the Main Street shops and restaurants are a short stroll. The building is a practical low-rise property rather than a heritage hotel, and the character is value-oriented and functional. Rooms are offered as queen rooms and king rooms. Amenities include wifi, an on-site restaurant, a bar, a fitness room and parking, and the free or low-cost parking is a point of difference from downtown hotels. There is no pool or spa. The service style is straightforward and friendly, suiting families, road-trippers, visitors to Vancouver General Hospital and the nearby medical district, and travellers who want lower rates than downtown. Typical nightly rates run from about CAD $140 to $210, noticeably less than central hotels. From the property, visitors can reach Science World, Olympic Village, the brewery district around Main Street and Commercial Drive's international food scene in a short transit ride. Kingsway can be busy with traffic, and upper floors or rooms facing away from the road will be quieter. The hotel works well for those who prefer a local neighbourhood stay and are comfortable using transit or a car for downtown trips, though evenings in Mount Pleasant itself are lively and convenient for dining.
