Beds were comfortable. The room was clean . But the air quality was poor. You can’t open a window and there is no venting in the room except a very very loud old window air conditioner. Sleep was impossible.

Our daughter left her $500 head phones in the room and they called us right after check out to come get them. This alone, for me, earns them a 5 star rating.
Vishu, and the young Asian guy at the front counter were among the kindest people we met in Vancouver. And the hotel location is so convenient for the sky train.

Never Again!!!
Would never stay there again...im sure they offer an 'hourly' rate.
Shoes on at all times while awake, slept on top of a blanket I brought from home, gross 'splash' marks up the wall near the bed...just no.

Enjoyed my stay
Awesome little hotel with great character. You can tell she’s old so the little things didn’t bother me it’s clean and very spacious. Staff are the most friendly I’ve ever seen at hotel. 100% for that. A few spots of wear and tear but beds were clean and comfy. Close walk to the sky train and the quay for all its cute stores and views

Nice night stay.
I stayed just one night at this hotel as it was close to my place of work. This older property stands up well. The bed was comfortable. The room was spacious and well appointed. I will for sure stay again when I have work at this site.

We came for the weekend and the hotel is in so so condition. We didn’t feel like we should take our shoes off on the carpets. The ceiling height was nice and the front desk staff was nice. The parking seemed a bit excessive at $18 a day for New Westminster getting a discount at the pub even if it’s only 10% was nice.

This hotel was priced reasonably. Will work for a night but otherwise rather basic amenities and room.
