It's been a long time since I last spent any duration here, but I still remember it to this day. My mother and myself stayed here during my visits to the BC Children's Hospital when I was a young child and a young teenager. I do remember the rooms not being all that special in appearance or in quality of service, but for a kid going through a potentially traumatic experience at a hospital, it makes all the difference in the world. Being able to feel comfort from the surgeries, the time spent isolated, the anesthetics, the numbness, the bandages and the healing, the fear of potentially never waking up again because of an honest mistake or fatal allergic reaction to pain medication, that's what matters to a child. Especially a disabled child. One who just wants to be home and wants to be around the one person who would always be by the child's side. Easter Seals house, in the two (or maybe three? I don't remember much of my early childhood aside from the visits to the aforementioned hospital) occasions where I could get away from the scariness of the hospital (yes, even the Children's Hospital can frighten a child) and be with the one person who has ever supported me in life, was special just for the reasons I wrote. It may not be of high quality; it may not earn any accolades as a hotel (or whatever you'd classify it as), but for the people it serves it can make the difference. I also have a lot to thank Lion's Club. They, as well as other sponsors, helped tremendously, including by providing this location for children with disabilities such as my younger self. Groups like these should always get support.

I've been coming to Easter Seal House for well over a decade. Since i was a kid and had to visit BC children's hospital for my scoliosis treatment. Now I come back every few years for appointments at saint Paul's hospital. Easter seal house is affordable (as a patient they never charge me) the staff are friendly and accommodating. The rooms are fairly spacious with double beds, roll away beds & cribs are available. Each room has a private bathroom, TV, mini kitchenette with plates and such. Its perfect for families who have to go to BCCH (within walking distance) or for people who have to attend appointments at other hospitals they can Also accommodate people who may be visiting or relatives of patients. it's close to bus stops, not too far from the Canada line (and not that many stops if you're traveling from YVR), the front desk has a taxi calling service plus there's gated underground parking! Not to mention just a few blocks away there is a strip mall with a Safeway, gas stations, and little cafes and resteraunts. This place has become a home away from home for me and certainly eased the financial burden of having to travel from the okanagan to get out of region medical care
This was the most wonderful peaceful place. Really feel at home. Things we needed are close enough. Staff are just wonderful. Would stay here on a heart beat and the price is something else
The rooms are a little small but it has everything you need including stove top and a few dishes. Reasonably priced for medical stay. Staff are pleasant. Parking available.
I can't say enough good things about the staff here. They are all very welcoming and eager to help. The rooms are private and so close to BC Children's and Safeway.
