This hotel is located in the ideal area. It is so very close to Old Montreal, we walked there one evening, and enjoye it. Downtown, the heart of downtown, is only a couple blocks away, everything is walking distance. Shopping is an abundance, St. Cathrine Street is only two blocks up. The hotel is very clean and nice. We stayed in a one bedroom suite, it was very cozy. The bedroom was smaller then I expected, however, my in-laws had a bigger bedroom. Also the coach is sleeper sofa, so it converts to bed for another bed if need. The room had a fridge, a sink, cabinets, and microwave, coffee maker, and an electric kettle for hot water, no stove. Our room had a small balcony outlooking the major street, but traffic noise was not a problem, of course sirens could be heard if an ablunance drove by, but that happened once only during our stay. Our room was across the elevator, which was a downside, because people tend to be loud in the hallway, and while they way for the elevator, so sometimes you could hear people. The other downside to our stay, was roudy teenagers that stayed on our floor, they decided to go out at 12 am and were more then loud while they were leaving, and we could hear them outside. The breakfast was great, they had the same selection each morning, however, there was a lot to choose from. Mostly everyone spoke English, however, there were some employees, that were hard to understand their English. We booked from them a 3 hour tour, the night before we went, and its worth the money. The parking is a bit expensive, it was $14 per day. We would stay there again, if we ever come back to Montreal, I don't see the reason to spend much money of fancy hotel, when this is very clean, convinient, and very nice.

We stayed for one night in May 07.

We booked the day before and arrived late morning to enquire if we could leave luggage and car to avoid further parking costs.

To our pleasant surprise we were booked in and given a room straight away.

Surprisingly the room was a suite with kitchen and seating area etc. It was very clean and roomy.

The breakfast was good and plentiful with alot of choice for a continental

The staff were a mine of information and very willing to help especially the valet parking attendent we would have missed places if it was not for him.

The location is ideal for the old town.

Down side is the cost of parking

I visited Montreal with my boyfriend and a friend. I booked this hotel for the free continental breakfast. When we arrived we were amazed by how big the room (better said: apartment) was. The room has a walk-in closet, huge bed, huge space. The living room has a big space as well. It has a big kitchen and dining table for 3. It was the cleanest hotel I have stayed in a long time. The service was awesome too, as well as the breakfast (simple, but good). I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone!

As for the area, it is located in downtown, close to many amenities and chinatown. The area around wasn't so nice, but it was more or less the same around downtown too. A lot of homeless people and punk kinds.

One final thing: you will not be able to buy alcohol at a store after 11pm.

Great price, room and location. The Suite we stayed in was larger than we thought it would be. I thought the location was good, not in the heart of the city but if your willing to walk then this place is great. We walked all around the city from the hotel but then again we don't mind walking. I would recommend staying here if you want a clean nice place that is affordable and in a good location.
