I am looking for ideas for hotels in the area for next September. Anybody have any good/bad experience of staying there ?

I believe Vaibow lives there. If he sees this he may be able to assist.

I went there several years ago but did not stay long in the city, while there though you have to go visit the Capilano Suspension Bridge. I don't care how old you are it is great fun and make sure you have a camera handy.

Been to Vancouver several times as have family there, love the place to bits, I would recommend it without hesitation, like any big city there are one or two places to avoid, gas town in Vancouver is a lively place but does have a drug problem, but it's a great city.

What are the best areas to stay ? We have been offered a hotel ( River Rock Casino in Richmond), but this appears to be near the airport. We will be staying for 5 days and want easier access to the sights.

Any ideas ?

Basically, everyone drives in Vancouver so where you stay doesn't matter. It's like the states where everyone thinks you must be a tramp or criminal if you walk anywhere. It is a really nice place though, with really nice people. Far better than all the poxy French places in Canada.
Nature is just down he road and you will probably want to go to Whistler.

There's plenty of cheap hotels on Burrard, if you go to downtown. Also, if there, you could get a bathtub boat taxi to a market under Burrard bridge. There's so many nice things to do there, you'll just be happy to be there! Hire a bike and go round Stanley Park. Capilano Bridge has been mentioned. I could go on, a lifetime wouldn't be enough if you included all of British Columbia! Go!

Extremely unnecessary comment to make. You must be very proud of yourself.
