Reception:
The reception lady was pleasant and quick, but instead of providing us information on Montreal, she said “My name is ...., if you need anything, just contact me, I’m here until 11.00pm”.

We then asked for some maps, these were provided and were guided to the lift.
Room / facilities:
Room #671 (level 6 and a walk up stairs to the next higher floor) is a spacious open and bright street facing executive room with 2 x king beds, sofa bed, safe, small fridge, desk and chair, shower only (no tub) bathroom, single arm chair and bedside tables, wooden floors with a small piece of rectangle carpet on one side of the bed.
The flat screen TV is located approx 2m from the base of the bed.
The room has a huge street facing window that does not open and smaller windows facing the roof “terrace” that have sliding panels to allow for air to enter.
Whilst the air conditioner is self controllable, there is no “fan only” on the air-conditioner, this forces you to have the “hot or cold” air conditioning on 24/7 for any sort of air flow around the room.
An Ice machine and vending machines are located on all floors near rooms ending in 07 eg 207, 307
Improvements/ letdowns
- Whilst the room was large it was a bit cool.
- Small amounts of construction noise, from across the street, were evident, but for me, it was nothing sufficient to disturb my morning sleep.
- Maintenance requires attention.
- Ikea style furniture is used
Some minor maintenance problems, eg loose power outlet, doors not closing flat into walls.
Maintenance concerns were addressed by both Anthony and Alex.
Both gents went above and beyond to assist us and ensure we were happy during our stay.
Wifi:
Fast and complementary.
Breakfast:
All day breakfast from 7.00am to 3.00pm. In the restaurant, located near the hotel reception. American style food.
Conclusion:
Great location. Walking distance to many restaurants, shopping area and Bell center.
Location / Nearby:
- City center and all it has to offer.
- Provigo le Marché supermarket
- Bell center for major sporting and concert events.
Getting to hotel:
Walk from Montreal Central Station, take the 747 airport bus from airport or a taxi for a flat rate of $41.00 CAD. Allow a up to 1 hour to travel to/ from the airport, as traffic always heavy in both directions, even at 7.15 am. less
