In Vancouver BC, avoid the C and N hostel on Main-its a disgusting, filthy building, in an awful part of town. Avoid the hostel across the street as well (can't recall the name). The guy running it is a prick. My buddy came out on the greyhound and stayed there. Check out was 11 am, and we were doing the 2 hour drive to pick him up. Manager wouldn't let Jon stay for a few more minutes, even in the lobby, and refused to let Jon leave a note for me with where he would be. When I asked if he had any idea where Jon might be, he said he had no clue. Jon went back while I was out looking for him, and the guy told Jon I had gone home-meanwhile I told him I would be checking coffee shops. We had just kept missing each other.
Any hostel in the greyhound station vicinity will be disgusting. I was stepping around needles looking for Jon, and a lot of unsavory characters stay at the hostels....
