Prices are not inexpensive for what you get This use to be a Choice Hotel, and before that one of some dubious quality. Too many other choices in better areas if your looking for an Accor Hotel in Vancouver. Three Fairmont's downtown and one at the airport.
Don't like the location? Don't stay there. It might have a different target audience than la de da Fairmonts. On the resort fees this seems to be a North American scam at almost all hotels these days, sometimes called resort fees, sometimes urban experience fees, all the same scam. They have nothing to do with what's on offer and only exist to obscure the total rate. I had hope that the Marriott court case would have been a wake up call for others but apparently not.
