Best Hotel In Vancouver In My Case

Need some advice:

Read on some threads that the FS, Fairmont Waterfront, Pan Pacific and Shang-ri La are the best hotels in downtown Vancouver.

However, they are all more expensive than what I would like to pay for the dates I'm looking at.

I narrowed the list down to these hotels:
1. Loden Hotel
2. OPUS Hotel
3. St. Regis Hotel (Not the SPG hotel)

What made each hotel enticing were the amenities provided at each place. It's hard for me to choose which property I would like to book at so would like some advice from people who slept at these hotels.

The Loden Hotel looked great because of the reviews I saw and the Jetsetter rate. The OPUS Hotel had the complimentary car service and received great reviews as well. The St. Regis Hotel was recommended by a coworker and looked great in terms of reviews and complimentary breakfast. The St, Regis and OPUS were $100+ more than the Loden so it does make the Loden more attractive in terms of booking it.

I don't plan on getting a rental car and will be arriving in Vancouver via Amtrak which is why the OPUS Hotel looked tempting. Having a free breakfast saves $40-50 at a hotel but having it free at the St. Regis made that hotel sound attractive. The Loden was just a great price with great reviews... so... what do you guys recommend? This is also for a leisure trip so yeah.
