In Vancouver it rains daily about 65% of the time year round, and during the other 35% of the time, it is thinking about raining on that day. February is a winter month in our hemisphere, so precipitation is plentiful.......about 175mm of rain on average in YVR.

The temperatures are around 5-8 degrees celcius during February.

It is a very expensive city for hotel accomodation. What's your budget per night ? That is going to be the difference. My initial call is to stay directly downtown for walking and ease of access to the airport and rest of the city. There is a metro station at YVR that goes right downtown.

I used to live there and currently travel there 3-4 time a year for business. There are lots of Canadian members from YVR also on this board.

If it matters, and you get a bad case of saudades, the one and only churrascaria in downtown Vancouver (on the corner of Denman and Robson) is awful.
