If the room size in Vancouver bothers you, get a suite, like Toronto, they are plenty spacious.
I did stay in a suite in Vancouver and that was from where the angular comment came
I stayed there once when the hotel first opened and was underwhelmed...
In Toronto, my home is Hazelton as I bring my dog so there are secondary considerations.
Fairmont Pacific Rim was even better when FPC was still around (nostalgia !) as an amazing place to use certs... anyway, it is my recommendation for Vancouver and a good place to escape the inlaws (every Xmas for the last 8 years)... I like too that many staff have been there the whole time so it's a reunion every year.
