I stayed at Hotel BLU for five nights and was very impressed. It's a short walk from the Vancouver City Centre SkyTrain station (which only costs $4.55 CAD going to or from the airport, way cheaper than an Uber or taxi). The staff were all very friendly and helpful during my stay. The room was quite comfortable and modern, with plenty of space. Even though it's located in a busy neighborhood, next to BC Place, the room was quiet! I also enjoyed the indoor pool and spa on the second floor (after a long day of walking and hiking, I really appreciated the jacuzzi). I didn't have breakfast at the hotel, but there are a lot of restaurants closeby, as well as other stores. If you show your room key, you can get 10% off your bill at the Fanny Bay Oyster Bar and the Black Rice Izakaya restaurants next door. I'll definitely stay here again the next time I visit Vancouver!
