No soundproofing and dirty in areas
This place is well below average. The place is not clean throughout I have pictures to show it. For what I paid and I understand that it depends on the deal you may find, this room falls below any standard. The view is over garbage cans and you hear the sky train as if you were in the station and you will hear the crazy people yelling and screaming outside because this is not a good area. There is no soundproofing of any type on windows walls door etc so you can hear absolutely everything so ear plugs are necessary here. The place is like a cheap motel in a grungy area and if all you want is to avoid sleeping in the streets this is good enough for you. The bed is okay the sheets are clean but the carpet is gross and so many areas have not been cleaned for months. The bathroom was clean the bathtub had stains all over but that may be more of an indication of the clientele which may be something you want to bear in mind as well. The area outside is awful, there is nothing & it's very grungy and I would not feel safe walking around in the evening but that's something you find in various areas in Vancouver these days unfortunately. On the plus side it's steps to Columbia sky train so you can go to Westminster where you can find places to eat shop etc. The sky train is convenient to go downtown & about 1 hour to the airport. The gentleman at reception was very nice but that does not negate that the room needs to be really properly cleaned throughout. CLEANED. Scrubbed.
This is the view I have and there are no curtains on the Windows which means that if you don't want to be seen you need to put the shutters down which means the room becomes dark

Charming Hotel.
Charming older hotel, the staff were all exceptionally friendly and helpful! The rooms were clean and comfortable. It’s dated, but for the price that’s something that didn’t matter to us. It is RIGHT beside the sky train station which is why we chose it. For a quick trip, we would choose The Met again.

Kind staff, spotless room, awesome location!
I had such a great experience at The Met! I came for the Taylor Swift concert and every other hotel was crazy expensive. The Met was affordable and SO convenient! It’s right next to the train which I really appreciated (some people said it’s loud but I didn’t mind at all). Tons of cute coffee shops nearby. The room was dated but totally spotless! I didn’t need any fancy new amenities, it had everything I needed. The staff was really nice, especially the gal who checked me out. She chatted with me for quite some time and was so friendly, helpful and warm! Totally worth the money!

As expected.
As budget hotels go it's what you'd expect and I'd recommend the Met. It's only for a couple of simple and cheap oversights that it's not A-OK. A heater in the shower room that looks dangerous, if it works, should be fixed or removed or simply an extra $10 lamp in the room, would not leave you considering what sort of manager would sign off on this.

Nasty!
I checked into my hotel the evening of November 17. The room was cold and run down. The air-conditioner vents couldn't be closed so the wind was literally blowing into the room. I had to put a towel and my luggage in front of it to keep heat in the room. The towel rack in the bathroom was also so rusty, it wasn't possible to use it. In the morning the sheets on the bed had shifted, revealing the severe staining on the sheets and mattress cover. I brought it to the attention of the front desk staff, and they stated they would deal with it immediately. I left the hotel for the day, and upon my return it looked like my room had been tossed. The bed side table was pulled out, the blankets were piled in the middle of the bed, and the stains still visible on the bed. At that point I felt unsafe staying there any longer. I informed the front counter that I would be checking out early as I wasn't comfortable staying in those conditions and was then offered to change rooms. I told them I would need to see the room before I agreed, and when they showed me there was not only hair on the sheets, but it was also heavily stained. I left on November 18, as I felt unsafe staying in a place that didn't take cleanliness seriously. The Hotel informed me that they can not give me my money back, as I booked through Hotels.com so I kindly would like a refund because they shouldn't be charging people to sleep on something that most wouldn't allow a dog to sleep on.

Hotel staff are fantastic. This is an older building and I had no issues with room itself. The area the hotel is in is a bit sketchy at night. I had room on the skytrain side, noise didn't bother me as I can sleep through anything. If you are a light sleeper, this would not be ideal. Great historic building and great staff. But other reasons I probably won't be back.

Helpful and friendly at front desk. Unique 100 year old building, high ceilings, clean bathroom and bed linens. Economical price, yet all the aspects we like about more expensive, newer hotel rooms (clean, comfortable bed, clean bathroom and towels, coffee machine) with unique older style. Was noisy by the skytrain outside our window, but earplugs cancelled that out for sleeping.
