We booked for the one night through hotels.com; this was our only mistake. The
reservation did not make it to the hotel but full marks for the front desk in
the way it was handled. We learned that the confirmation number hotels.com gave
us was of no use when we tried to check it so my advice is to confirm directly
with the hotel in advance to make sure the service used to book has made it
through to the hotel's system; this could have been a disaster had the hotel
been booked full.
We were on the 9th floor looking west over the Fraser river so the view was nice
(see photos) The only downside to this location is the main line of the railway
is behind the hotel and there was quite a lot of noise during the night from
this. The other minor gripe was the air con units directly below us; mechanical
noise all night long.
The room was spacious and the king bed comfy. Bathroom clean as can be with new
fixtures.
If you can try and stay in a room facing east and be sure to try the adjoining
Boathouse restaurant for dinner; expensive but very good.

This hotel is designed to remind you of a ship and it is partly built over the
Fraser River. Our upgraded room at the end of the building was right over the
water and had a small balcony. The views of the boats on the river and
boardwalks and bridges in the distance was quite nice.
The hotel check in and check out was very fast with no issues. Everything worked
in the nicely decorated room. The bed, pillows, and comforter were excellent. It
was generally very quiet with a little noise from the constantly running
bathroom fan and some noise from the adjacent pub on the river edge. We did have
a great sleep.
Nothing major on the downside but a couple minor items. I did not like the
bathroom lighting, and the toilet is too small although there is plenty of room.
The sliding glass door to the balcony did not slide very well.
There is a great connected restaurant (The Boathouse).
The hotel price was good.
If I want to stay in that area again, I will stay here.

Great hotel and great value”
This hotel is really nice and represents an excellent value. A short 30 minute
skytrain ride (located close to station) and you are directly downtown.
Restaurant was good but a bit slow. The loyalty program requires a lot of nights
before you accumulate much, but overall it is a great place to stay.

I stayed at this hotel for a conference. The room was amazing. It seems that all
rooms have river views. the furnishing are lovely and very contemporary. This
stylish hotel is hidden in New Westminster but downtown Vancouver is a few
minutes away on the skytrain.

A Hidden Jem in Fraser Valley area
We went to the hotel for our 2nd year anniversary. Due to our crazy work
schedules, we we weren’t able to go anywhere too far. The location was quite
convenient to us. Hwy 1 was 5-10 minutes away from the hotel, and there were
variety of local restaurants and bar near hotel just on E. Columbia. Although
the neighbor wasn’t the best at night time but was great to walk around the
boardwalk along the river was quite pleasant. We even had 20% off promotion and
the price was great also. Hotel seemed to me going under renovation, but we
stayed on the weekends and none of the renovation were done during the time so
that was nice. Staffs were great. We couldn’t access the fridge because it was
missing a key but less than a minute after we called the front desk, a staff
came to our door with a key. The bed we had had the inn and the quay signature
purple painting headboard, and the mattress and the bedding were great! Im a
fussy sleeper, but I was able to sleep like a baby! The view from our room was
surprisingly good. We stayed on 4th floor and had a corner room where we had a
view of the river as well as Westminster Savings building. The AC from WS
building were quite noisy but wasn't’ too bad. The hotel was going through
renovation so when we sat out on our balcony, we could smell the paint mingled
with the smell of the river. Overall we had a good time at Inn at the
Westminster quay. It was a nice weekend getaway. I can’t wait to return after
when the renovation is done. |
