Also, if anyone has any input on how the following Vancouver hotels stack up against each other I would greatly appreciate it!

Pacific Rim
Westin Bayshore
Westin Grand
Marriott Pinnacle
JW

Definitely Pacific Rim.

there is an eruv, though if u NEED to stay in a hotel outside the eruv thats an issue. there are great cheap airbnb's near thekollel (where they have minyanim and meals above maple grill), and iirc the holiday inn further down the block is also within the eruv. https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=1lvDpkRo5LvxYoHtnPy4197dw8UU&ll=49.25148992717316%2C-123.13754705344235&z=14

Thanks, since I posted that I found out about the kollel. When I said no eruv, I was referring to downtown, as I hadn't considered staying in the community. I hadn't seen any Airbnb under $250 for my dates. But thanks for the Holiday Inn info - it is in the Eruv! It hasn't come up in my searches. Oh boo, no availability.

what are your dates? we stayed here for bupkis and it was just what we needed, a few blocks from thekollel (but no availability in the next month or so) https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/14568192?wl_source=list&wl_id=199288103&role=wishlist_owner&guests=6&adults=6&children=0&infants=0

August, so that won't work.

@Ergel my trip would be the same days of the week as yours (Weds night flight, return Monday night). Did your trip work out well in regards to the itinerary you posted? Looking back, would you still do Vancouver before Shabbos and Whistler afterwards or perhaps swap?

Ergel · « **Reply #1019 on:** July 24, 2018, 01:09:01 PM »

Definitely wouldn't swap. When would you go to Whistler? In the middle of the night Wednesday? Or Thursday morning and then have to come back right before shabbos?
