| - While I was at SUNY Potsdam (2 hours southwest of Montréal in Upstate New York), my girlfriend, who was living in Columbus, OH and who had never been to MTL before was coming to visit. So I had the brilliant idea to take her on a relatively short, 24 hour trip to North America's Little Paris, for a romantic, albeit frigid March getaway.
What I was looking for:
- A charming, romantic hotel with European flair.
- A hotel that is conveniently located near the Metro and the Plateau neighbourhood.
- A place with friendly staff (esp. to a bunch of Anglos) and ample parking.
- A clean room with a homey feel.
We got EVERYTHING we bargained for. What an excellent, excellent hotel and experience! It was quite romantic, the staff was SO kind (they allowed us to keep our belongings up front since we arrived before check-in time), we parked right out in front, and the place was a 10 or so minute walk to the Metro.
Despite the frigid chill outside, Auberge de La Fontaine was a key ingredient in our falling in love with Montéal. We constantly talk about how much we miss it and how much we want to go back someday, or potentially live there if we just spoke French. I know at some point I will be taking her back to Auberge for a romantic getaway long weekend :).
