| - We stayed for 4 nights, and weren't impressed.
To be fair, we stayed there the same weekend as a group of about 70 teenagers on some sponsored spring break weekend, and though their behavior was, of course, not the fault of the hotel, a hotel that welcomes a group like that is not a hotel at which I want to stay.
Pros:
-Hotel is in a great location for the metro (Berri-UQAM stop, a major hub, is right next door) and for walking to different parts of the city
-Great view of the city (at least from the 18th floor, where we were)
-Free wi-fi
Cons:
-Paper thin walls (we could hear the phone ringing and people talking in the room next door and in the hallway)
-"Queen" size bed was about the size of a double, which the front desk said was because they are older beds
-Sub-par concierge
-The four elevators aren't enough to service all the guests if the hotel is full like it was the weekend we were there. Be prepared to wait (and then be prepared to ride it with 15 teenagers in various states of drunkenness).
-Housekeeping attempted to clean our room at 8:30 AM (and was irritatingly persistant about it).
-There is consistently a gaggle of bums hanging around outside, probably because of the casino/bar next door.
-Poor ventilation (it was as if our next door neighbor's cigarette smoke was being routed through our room...in a non-smoking hotel, of course).
The price is low, but you get what you pay for. I wouldn't recommend this hotel unless your primary concern is location and ease of access to the metro...or unless you don't mind hearing your neighbors conversations through the walls and are up and out of the room by 7:45 AM.
