There is an easy bike oriented way to turn off from the Seaside path to get onto Hornby that doesn't need to even start from the bottom of the Hornby bike lane hill (though for Seattlers that's probably not a biggie). But using Hornby and onto Comox which is a newer separated bike lane (last 2 years) to get to hotel would be good.

I put it down to... maybe some cyclists just have to update their Vancouver route thinking. It does change because the city adds more cycling infrastructure.

Hornby St. is a popular for bike commuters ...so again long time cyclists might chafe cycling with many other cyclists.. but at least one is not dealing with pedestrians nor dogs in a separated bike lane.
