| - I'm writing my review as I'm spending my last night of 6 nights at this hotel. My favorite thing about this hotel is its location. It's about a block away from the nearest metro stop (Peel), although you probably don't need to take the subway to get to most attractions if you don't mind a bit of walking. It's about 5 blocks away from one of the main entrances into Parc du Mont Royal (at Rue Peel and Avenue des Pins Ouest), and it's a must visit on a nice day!
Oh heck, that's not my only favorite thing about the hotel. I love their daily complimentary coffee and bottled water refills - two things I need daily, their super firm yet fluffy pillows, and their workstation with desk top outlet (so you don't have to crawl under to plug/unplug. The big shower head makes me want to take 4 showers a day. Standard room comes with a sizable shower stall, no bathtub, in case you're into that stuff...
Some reviews on Tripadvisor complained about the wifi. Let me just affirm that I haven't had any wifi connectivity issues during my entire stay here. Wifi is consistent and relatively fast. It resets every 24hrs so you just need to reenter your room info to restart the cycle.
The gym is on the 4th floor right by my room, which I never used. I took a peek and thought it was pretty small, but I really didn't have the need to run like a hamster on my vacay when I'm walking everywhere.
The room service from the restaurant downstairs (L'Aromate) is prompt (but pricey as expected)! It took them 10-15min to deliver my food, and they were pretty tasty.
My only gripe is the full size mirror. Mine has the fattening effect, or maybe I'm just in denial about my food consumption in Montreal. If that's the case, leave me alone.
Thanks Jetsetter for the great deal!
