We were tired so we didn't need the earplugs suppled by the hotel to muffle the sounds of the rapid transit. If you are a light sleeper, don't stay here.

The pub next door has people on the sidewalk under the hotel guest room windows until all hours of the morning. Screaming, yelling and fighting till well after 2:00 am. The ac units in the rooms allow all the street noise in. Rooms and property are fine especially for the age of the building and staff was good however the lack of sleep every night will keep me from booking there again in the future. Maybe the pub- seems to be owned by the hotel should hire a doorman/ bouncer to keep that behaviour in check.

Very pleasantly surprised and well within costs.
We didn't expect much of a hotel in old New Westminster, especially on the main street. However, we were very impressed with this 'boutique' hotel and enjoyed our stay very much. It was only a few steps from the Skytrain station at Columbia which made it perfect for us. The price was certainly within reason for a greater Vancouver hotel. We elected to stay there because of the price and the convenience of the Skytrain. We'll definitely be back again next year before heading off on another cruise. Lovely woman of Ukrainian descent at the front desk too. Overall, well worth a stay in this lovely hotel.
