Misleading Rating — Very Disappointing Stay

The hotel is located in a terrible, unsafe area surrounded by homelessness and drug activity. I don’t understand how it could receive such a high rating. The hotel itself is old, and our “deluxe” room with two queen beds had a dirty carpet and a bathroom with hair on the shower wall. Unloading luggage was a nightmare, as you have to stop at a bus station with the risk of getting a ticket from the police. The parking situation was also very sketchy, and I woke up several times in the middle of the night due to noise from the street. Overall, the place feels depressing and unsafe. I would not recommend staying here.

The staff at this establishment were the main reasons this got three stars. They were amazing. They preformed Over and above. if I were to return it's because of them The hotel is cleanish, it's just old. Beds were comfortable. Lots of wear and tear. A lot of homeless/crackheads around. They are harmless but very visible. Hotel is right next to transit that can get you anywhere. Walking distance to a few restaurants. Walking distance to the pier. If you are visiting for 3 to 4 nights, it should be fine.

Overall this was a nice property. The room itself had been recently decorated and was very spacious. What dragged it down was the location in not the best area of town. However I don’t think New Westminster is a bad area and we spent some lovely times walking along the Fraser River. Skytrain is also easy to get to being 10 minutes away.

The hotel is a few steps away from the Columbia SkyTrain station. It's an old hotel but we'll maintained. Reception staff were very friendly. The bed was softer than I wanted but otherwise it was a very nice stay.
