Best locaiton and views, so close to my work. To my chagrin the sometimes cleanliness leaves something to be desired and the elevators are iffy. Some good and some bad experiences with the concierge/management

I am not the biggest fan of the Pantages Tower, and I usually advise my clients to avoid it. The resident lobby is connected to the Pantages hotel lobby and is only separated through a glass window. 

Pros of the buildings:
- Maintenance fees are low relative to other condos on Victoria St
- Most units in the building have great views
- The location of this condo is convenient, especially for nurses and those who work in the surrounding area

Drawbacks:
- Elevator wait times can be horrible; the building doesn't have as many elevators as it should (Only three elevators for 408 units and 44 storeys)
- The building lacks amenities; it only has a party room
- Short-term rentals are allowed; the building can feel a lot like a revolving door
