Well-liked Westminster budget hotel near SkyTrain and river with restaurant & comfy beds
The smoke-free Met sounds like a real gem due to the value it provides and it's only 5 minutes from the hospital. There are a lot of raving fans online who are thrilled with just about everything about this hotel. It's located in a heritage building nearby to many amenities (pharmacy, Starbucks, sushi and cabs at the door), it has friendly and personable staff, clean rooms, comfortable beds and a restaurant that serves good food on site. Wi-Fi is free and parking is an extra $10 in a lot across the street. Select rooms come with a mini-fridge and microwave. What's all the fuss about? It's typically half the price of a regular hotel room. Just a note of caution: noise can be a negative factor from the on-site bar, train whistles and the nearby SkyTrain, so bring your ear plugs if you're a light sleeper.
