The price is posted on the machine. Cash only — bring coins or small notes. Most analog booths in this range run a few pounds, euros or dollars a strip.

Is The Cobalt Motor Hotel a real film photo booth or a digital one?

We list only analog booths, but we haven't confirmed the machine details for this one. If you've used it, tell us what it is.

Do I need to book, or can I just walk up to The Cobalt Motor Hotel?

Just walk up. It's a coin-op booth, not a hire service — no booking, no attendant. If the venue is open, the booth is on.

How many photos do you get at The Cobalt Motor Hotel, and how long does it take?

One strip of four shots. The machine takes the four in quick succession, then develops the strip on the spot — usually three to five minutes before it drops into the slot.

Daily Open. The booth is inside the venue, so those are the hours that matter.

It's at 917 Main St., Vancouver. Use the map above for transit, walking or driving directions from wherever you are.

Can I get into The Cobalt Motor Hotel with a wheelchair or a pram?

We haven't checked access at this venue. Classic booths have a fixed bench and a curtain, so the booth itself is a tight fit; the venue's own access is the thing to ask them about.

It happens — these machines are decades old. Scroll to "Nearest booths" in Vancouver for the closest alternative, and tap "Report an issue" so we can flag it for everyone else.
