Room was very clean, mini kitchen was a nice feature (fully stocked with pots, pans, dishes, etc.) though clean up after yourself or pay a charge of $25.00, bathroom was a nice size and very clean. The block this hotel is in looks a little sketchy, though we had no problems. Parking in the hotel ramp was no problem and the $15.00 additional per day was worth it for we didn't use the car once being so close to a main Metro stop. Nearby rue St. Catherine as chock full of various shops, restaraunts and bars and is closed to traffic during the Summer. A very nice experience!

We stayed at Hotel Les Suites Labelle for 2 nights following our cruise from Ft. Lauderdale. We had spent a couple of nights at Le Square Phillips in October, 2006, before leaving on another cruise but this time we wanted something less expensive. We found the room and kitchenette to be spacious, clean and quiet. The included breakfast is tasty, wholesome and plentiful. While the immediate neighborhood is somewhat tacky with some porn and souvenir shops, we enjoyed the University of Quebec setting and eclectic populace. Most of the central city is within walking distance and the metro stop is within half a block of the hotel. The staff is friendly and accommodating but firm. They strictly enforce the no smoking rule with fines and while we were there, they expelled a group of young people who had caused a late night disturbance. We appreciated the "no nonsense" approach to decorum. The desk clerk Erick was particularly courteous and helpful when we arrived in mid-morning but equally firm in dealing with the disruptive guests. We were especially pleased to find the bus station was just a block away as we took the Greyhound to Burlington, VT for our rental car. We found Labelle to be a great alternative to the higher priced hotels in the city.

The area is a little shady, but close to the Metro, and stores.
I stayed here during the Canadian Grand Prix, because it was the cheapest place I could find, close to the action. I still paid nearly $200/night. My friends stayed at the Marriott for close to $600/ night, since every city on the F1 calender screws the fans on hotel costs. Since I was alone it was not too bad. The hotel has been updated and was clean. The free breakfast was ok and the room was nice, but the bed was hard.
The top floor has tables and a great view of the city where you can hang out outside and no one seemed to use it much.

We stayed at this hotel for a week in september 2007. it is in a great location for the site seeker. very close to the main subway terminal and close to all sorts of emenities.

I never saw too much in the way of vagrants like others have quoted here. but like any north american city you'll see them anywhere so I guess it wasn't all that shocking to me.

It is clean, quiet, and comfortable. The breakfast was a continental breakfast and was great for someone who would be on the go. The kitchenette came in handy when we were too tired to go out to eat and the staff were very helpful and accomidating.

I will stay there agin on my next visit to montreal.
