Pets are welcome, and Vancouver International Airport is within reach. The 10 rating looks excellent but comes from only three reviews.

A seasonal outdoor pool is the summer draw at the Four Points by Sheraton Surrey, and the spa and wellness area with a hot tub and sauna works all year.

Guests rate it 8.9 from 61 reviews, a promising but still early score.

The 8.2 rating from about 160 reviews is reliable.
