Here is the Frommer's Review of the UBC Accomodations:
"The University of British Columbia is in a pretty, forested setting on the tip of Point Grey -- a convenient location if you plan to spend a lot of time in Kitsilano or at the university itself. If you don't have a car, it's a half-hour bus ride from downtown. Although these are student dorms most of the year, rooms are usually available. The rooms are very nice, but don't expect luxury. The 17-story Walter Gage Residence offers new and comfortable accommodations; many are located on the upper floors with sweeping views of the city and ocean. One- and six-bedroom suites here come equipped with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, TVs, and phones. Each studio suite has a twin bed; each one-bedroom suite features a queen bed; the six-bedroom Tower suites -- a particularly good deal for families -- feature one double bed and five twin beds. Located next door, the year-round Gage Court suites have two twin beds in one bedroom and a queen-size Murphy bed in the sitting room.
Facilities:
(Nearby and on campus): Restaurant; cafeteria; pub; Olympic-size swimming pool; museums; public golf course; tennis courts; weight room; sauna for C$5 (US$3.75) per person; video arcade; laundry; all rooms nonsmoking"
I also did an Obbitz search from May 18-20 for hotels (because I did not know which weekend in May that you would be there). Here are the results of the search which you can arrange according to location, best value, lowest price, etc. Most of the cheaper end hotels still ranged from $60-$90 a night. http://www.orbitz.com/App/shared/pagedef/results/hotel.jsp?z=2f3b&r=15c&z=2f3d&r=15e&lastPage=interstitial
Have a good trip.
