The place we used for years on family visits to Metro Van became unavailable. Our daughter suggested The Met. We loved it. Beautiful rooms, friendly helpful staff, a view of the river, a perfect location next to Columbia Sky Train station, and affordable rates. This will be our new "Home away from home."

I am currently staying at the Met hotel as I write this review! Our house had a fire and we had to find alternative accommodations fast, and the Met hotel has been great to us. We also had to take our two cats with us, and this hotel is pet friendly! The reception staff was very courteous and friendly. The... More

I am currently having the pleasure of staying at the Met Hotel in New Westminster. Tragic circumstances have brought me here and I was fortunate enough to find this hotel on line because of proximity to hospital. Coming from the states I have forgotten how nice people can be. The hotel is older, very charming and quaint, The food is... More

We needed a place to stay at the last minute for one night. Found The Met online, and couldn't believe the price offered! Located on Columbia st, it's easily accessed from the new Port Mann bridge. All Front desk personnel were informative and extremely pleasant, both in person and on the phone. The room was enormous, and the beds were... More

He gave silly reasons, such as "if you come late, the night porter needs to verify your identity" and "they also do it in Nicaragua", and tried to coerce me into agreeing. He desisted when I asked him to call the police. We stayed only because it... More

We were happy to find this reasonably priced hotel next to a Skytrain station for easy access to Vancouver. Three things would have pushed this rating to excellent for us: 1. Better... More

My boyfriend and I spent last night in this hotel. We were just in town for the night and needed a reasonable place to lay our heads. Rooms were neat and tidy, nice high ceilings, fairly clean and although the bathroom and fixtures were a bit dated it really did the trick. We stayed on the top floor, had a... More

Pros: 1. The room rate! 2. Location is next door to skytrain Columbia station, walking distance to restaurants, shops, grocery stores, comedy club, etc. 3. Simple with all the basics. 4. Discounts to local restaurants and events. 5. Pet friendly with pet rooms all on the same floor. 6. 20-25 minute train ride from Vancouver. 7. Friendly staff. Cons: 1.... More

Stayed one night at The Met. We were arriving later than expected, so called to determine what time was the absolute latest for check-in. The staff on duty was very courteous and said they were staffed all night on weekends, but if it was during the week, they would be sure to not leave us out in the rain. Upon... More
