The principal hotel in New Westminster is most comfortable, and the table is excellent as well as abundant. Salmon cutlets and sturgeon steaks deliciously cooked, hot rolls, with pats of guinea gold butter, and jugs of fresh, thick cream and well-made tea and coffee graced the breakfast table; and the midday dinner included oyster soup, marrowbones, roast and boiled joints, and fat tender chicken. The vegetables were a treat in themselves, whilst luscious fruits of various kinds were in abundance at every meal. The charge per day was, I believe, from $1.50 to $2.00, a considerable reduction being allowed permanent boarders. Next to the Driard House at Victoria the hotel at New Westminster was decidedly the best house I “struck” from the Pacific to Manitoba.[10]
