If you have a group of 8-10, are looking for a unique alternative to downtown hotels, and have a sense of adventure, this is a great option for you. VERY close to BC Place, Rogers Arena & Cirque de Soleil. Boat is at the end of the marina with stellar unobstructed views of the water and skyline. Fantastic, wide open common spaces for conversations/games/meals. Downsides include: 1) you'll need to bundle up in the common areas during colder months (private rooms are quite toasty); 2) you'll need to space out showers as hot water is in short supply; 3) the plumbing is boat plumbing, so quite finicky; and 4) overall cleanliness is fair to partly cloudy. If you go into this remembering this is a boat and not a swanky hotel, you can save money on your stay, enjoy your stay with a large group of friends, and have a great story to tell. We stayed 2 nights for a Bruce Springsteen concert and to experience the city, and left with smiles on our faces.
