Hotels for LTX

[AcidReign]

Hey is there anyone with first hand knowledge on the hotels around LTX? I don't want super mortgage my house expensive, or super "I think I just got aids" cheap. A pool would be nice. Thanks!

Cheapest is going to be Langley Highway Hotel, its a bit of a walk though 1.5km, You could take the 501 bus. Which is probably a rush hour only bus.

 

Next up is the Sandman, probably $75 if you are lucky, more like $100 easy.

 

Looks like you could squat in the bushes North East and South of the Events Center, lots of bushes. Dunno if thats private property though. Its definately a commercial trucking company to the NE, South is a Church so your good either way.

There is a Value Inn to the SE that has a $55/night posted on google maps. Looks interesting.

2.81km away

 

West Country is cheap also.

Travelodge is cheap too.

 

If anything rent a bicycle while you are there, walking is a real bitch.

I am renting an Airbnb and bringing my tame ebike.

As far as stores go, there is nothing nearby in terms of grocery stores. A Macs Milk to the South on the same road. Save on Foods and London Drugs further South. A Crap-O-Rama style dollar store and a mall.

 

I personally looked at hostels, always my first instinct. Closest one is in Burnaby. But to get a hostel its still $45 a night, and you are sharing with strangers. Airbnb atleast you get your own room in a residential house for the same price as a hostel.

 

Campgrounds are another option, but again they are so far away, 5km away or so. Thats why I stated squatting in the bush. Fort Langley camping would be cool.

which is right on the river, could go fishing if you got a BC fishing license.

I very highly doubt OP even has a car let alone a license, because the OP is asking a tech forum about hotels in the area when its faster to just go to Google Maps and find it. Preteen perhaps.

It's kinda bad that I couldn't afford my planned rig update and plane tickets for this one because I have a few friends and an uncle there but I'm obviously not gonna hit them up for accommodations if I can't make it.

Ok one more time for those who weren't listening. I was looking for firsthand knowledge. I am more than capable of punching in langly on hotels.com or trivago. I was looking for someone who maybe lived in the area or had stayed there before. In my area I cold tell you what hotels are not worth your time and which ones a nice regardless of star rating. I was merely looking for the same to take into consideration when I make my choice.

A motel is a motel, there aint nothing much different from one to another. You can tell by the way they keep the motel if its atleast ok to rent a room there.

 

The exception is Wastings and Pain aka Hastings and Main area.

Then a "Hotel" is more like a crack shack.

 

British Columbia made it legal to pitch a tent in a city park from 11pm to 7am.

 

 

But if you are looking for first hand knowledge, I have stayed in countless Sandmans, probably even that one in Langley, and I can vouch for those. Or for that matter, I can vouch for any national chain motel/hotel. Sometimes I do prefer the mom and pop motels over the cookie cutter chain accomadations. Because the mom and pop digs have character. I look for a pool, hot tub, sauna. Also I only go for the rooms in the middle not near a pop machine, ice machine, stairway door etc etc etc. A good in, is to tip the counter person a $20 and they will upgrade your room.

 

If you are so concerned about which ones are worth it and not, then you can never go wrong with a national chain. its common knowledge that there aint nothing wrong with them. Pay your $100 or $125 for one nights sleep on a dirty comforter that they wash once a week if ever. Otherwise if I were you, I'd go for the $50-$75 mom and pop, you are just staying there for one night aren't you?
