Here is a relatively inexpensive motel and it had been used as background for many Vancouver filmed TV show, such as X-File. It is located in Vancouver.

I also found out that Simon Fraser University rent out their Dormitories and Town Houses during the summer break. I can check that out this week.

There is also the YMCA Hotel in Downtown Vancouver. IT seems they offer reasonable rate.

Campground information

Apparently there is a campground in Burnaby and it is off a major highway and very close to public Transit.
