Very good

No One told us there was a sky train track and station behind the Hotel and our room was at the back of the building facing it. We got no sleep for both nights! The air conditioning unit which is in the window was poorly installed and you could see air around it which added to noise level! It was so noisy !.Ugh They didn't replace the coffee for the Keurig coffee maker the second day! Towel Bar in the bathroom was rusty, toilet seat was loose .Overall a bad experience!
This is a really cool hotel, with lots of character. Everything you'd need for a restful stay. The room I stayed in was at the back of the building and above a skytrain station, which meant you could hear the training coming and going throughout the night. I was fine with ear plugs (provided in the room) but if you're a light sleeper you might want to pick a room that faces the front.
Older property, but kept fairly well. The room was not fancy but was clean. The bed was comfortable and the room was quiet despite being on a main street. There is a common sitting area outside the rooms, so I suspect that it may be a bit noisy if people were using it. The restaurant/pub downstairs had good food at a decent price. All-night front door attendant made me feel secure.
Skytrain station is nearby and the waterfront park is a short walk away.
Good little property. Clean and neat and the staff were very polite and helpful.
Beds were comfortable, room was a good size - we were in a double Queen and there was lots of room to move around.
The location next to Columbia skytrain station was a bit of a mixed bag. It's very easy to get downtown. It takes about 40 minutes to get to waterfront Station. On the other hand, the SkyTrain runs behind the hotel. They've invested in good windows, though, so although you can hear it it's not overwhelming.
There's lots of parking but it is across the street. I recommend parking right next to the stairs for the Columbia Street exit, as that makes it a better one minute walk to your car.
This would be a really excellent location for an out of town group coming in for something like a bachelorette party. If you book early enough there's an area in the second floor where there's a shared seating area in the middle of all the rooms. Microwave, water cooler, snacks and drinks available for sale. Just a good gathering area if you had a large group at the hotel. Not a party area, but good for pre party waiting for that one person who takes a while to get ready.
This will be my go-to for trips into the LM in future.

Unfortunately the sky train rumbled into the wee hours and rain was hitting something metal outside our window which was very distracting- otherwise the room was fine
