Maybe. But if the location is as bad as @
sfo says, then is it really much of an option? I guess that explains the cheap price. Maybe if a local is looking to rack up cheap night credits, they can check-in, pay for the stay, and then leave!
But I'm not sure I would agree that the Fairmont options in Vancouver are only at luxury price points. The Fairmont Hotel Vancouver has base rooms in the ~$250+tax/night range off season. Heck, you can get a renovated Fairmont Gold Suite (750 square feet) for below $500/night. It might not be 5* like the Fairmont Pacific Rim, but I think it's a pretty good value option.
