Vancouver Airport Hotels

If you are looking for a hotel near the Vancouver airport. Here are a few that we personally know of:

This is not the cheapest place but fantastic location - actually attached to the international terminal. It is about 25 metres the international/US terminal and about 100 metres to the domestic terminal. Good bit ~ you can walk down and check in for your flight and then go back to your room for awhile. Great bar area with big fireplaces and sofas etc.
