Finding a Hotel in Surrey, BC
• A WorldWeb.com Travel Guide for Surrey, British Columbia.
Located southeast of Vancouver proper, Surrey is part of Greater Vancouver and encompasses six communities: Fleetwood, Whalley (Surrey's commercial hub), Newton (boasting Surrey's largest population), Guildford (the area's retail hub), Cloverdale (the historic centre) and South Surrey. Its convenient location between the city of Vancouver and the US border, at the gateway to the Pacific Rim, means that Surrey is frequented by travellers stopping overnight en route and those who want to spend a few days breathing the sea-salty air. Surrey is a tranquil escape from Vancouver's big-city bustle, carpeted with more than 2,428 ha (6,000 acres) of parkland. Fittingly, visitors will find plenty of campgrounds and bed and breakfasts at which to enjoy the laid-back pace and pleasant surroundings. However, there are also numerous hotels and motels located on main routes, available for those just passing through or for guests that prefer typical hotel amenities and conveniences like air conditioning, Internet access and in-room coffee makers.
The area is also popular as a conference and business travel destination and plenty of large, full-service hotels such as the Sheraton, Holiday Inn Express and Best Western King George Inn provide flexible function space and event services.
WHERE TO STAY
From budget, independent motels to full-service chain-brand properties like the Best Western and Holiday Inn, most hotels and motels can be found along the King George Highway, which runs north-south through Surrey.
South Surrey is popular due to the surrounding ocean and numerous guest houses and bed and breakfasts set near the waterfront. There are also a couple of hotels and motels in this peaceful residential area, including the Best Western Peace Arch Inn and Timberland Motel. Although these properties are situated on the King George Highway rather than at the water's edge, they are convenient for those wanting to take advantage of the peace and quiet and close proximity of the coast while on the move.
Heading north along the King George Highway leads to central Surrey and the Newton area. A handful of hotels can be found here, situated just west of Cloverdale—Surrey's historic centre and the antique capital of BC. Properties such as the Holiday Inn East Cloverdale and the Canadian Inn provide easy access to the Surrey Museum, Bell Performing Arts Centre, Cloverdale Fairgrounds and Kwantlen Polytechnic University, not to mention various intriguing antique stores.
North of Newton toward Surrey's commercial area—Whalley—a number of hotels and motels line the King George Highway, including full-service properties such as the Best Western King George Inn and Compass Point Inn, and the economical Hollywood and Grouse Creek motels. The expansive Bear Creek Park, home to the Surrey Art Gallery, is also located in this area.
A cluster of large, full-service chain-brand hotels such as the upscale Sheraton Guildford Hotel, Holiday Inn Express and the Ramada Hotel and Suites are located in northeast Surrey, in the area known as Guildford—Surrey's shopping hot spot. Conveniently located on or near the Trans-Canada Highway, these hotels are also close to Tynehead Regional Park to the delight of hikers and nature lovers.
TYPICAL AMENITIES
Most hotels and motels (chain-brand and independent) in Surrey provide standard amenities and services that include air conditioning, Internet access, in-room coffee makers and laundry facilities or service. Chain-brand properties, mid-range to top-end, can almost always be depended on for extras like on-site fitness facilities and swimming pools, hot tubs and business centres. Some, such as the Best Western hotels, Hampton Inn and Holiday Inn Express, also provide complimentary breakfast, and the Sheraton and Ramada boast on-site restaurants. Visitors may also like to enquire about stay-and-play packages, offered at many chain-brand hotels.
