I am planning a trip for 4 days, 3 nights to Vancouver. Need help on what area to stay. Also, any ideas on bed and breakfasts in that area. Or would a hotel be just as good for the money?

We just spent 127,000 RCI Points to get two weeks in a one bedroom unit in downtown Vancouver for mid July 2006. Through all the deposits and all, my net cost for those points plus the $79 cost from RCI was about $290 US. This is less than $21 a day for a one bedroom unit. Less I forget, the RCI points timeshare in Vancouver is the Aviawest on Robson.
bilbran said:The two timeshares that I know of in downtown are Worldmark's and Intrawest's. They are located next to each other about 5 or so blocks south of the downtown financial district so you can walk to anywhere in downtown if you're reasonably fit.
I have stayed at Intrawest's a few years ago. It's on three floors of the Sheraton Wall Centre (27th, 28th and 29th floors or thereabout) and the rooms are fantastic with the full-wall views of the city and all, but are a little on the small side.
RonaldCol said:The Aviawest is a 1-in-4 resort so with these other two timeshares, it will help to get back into Vancouver within a four year period.

Based on this information you pay only .17 cents per point in annual maintenance fees!! Usually a good deal is just under 1 cent per point! Where is your timeshare(s) and how do I sign up!RonaldCol said:First of all, I hate Priceline. That said, what about a timeshare in Vancouver?

It really isn't much of a hill in this area! a few feet for maybe three blocks. If you really want to shop central Robson, every day, then it is out of the way.hvsteve1 said:. (Referring to the Rosedale on Robson) this tends to not be the most central location,though you can walk (uphill) to the main shopping district.
