If you are a fan of hotels with rooms that smell like urine, and staff that treat you like shit, then you have found your go to in Montreal!
DO NOT mistake this Holiday Inn with the other Holiday Inn on Sherbrooke St. Totally separate hotels.
Let's detail experiences at this hotel.
Pros:
- It's walking distance to Chinatown, and Old Montreal.
Cons:
- The first room that we were assigned to (517) smelled like someone had just pissed all over the floor and let it marinate for a few hours. Imagine that smell as your greeting to your hotel room. Lovely thought isn't it?
- The second room we were assigned to looked and felt dated. Like 1995 called, and wants their carpets and furniture back. Do you want to touch something that has been used for several decades? I don't.
- The kitchenette contains NO kitchen utensils. WTF? Why give me a kitchenette if you expect me to have to go out and buy my own forks and knives? Useless.
- Breakfast sucked ass. Big time ass.
- Service sucked ass. Even bigger ass. Basic requests (i.e., there is no remote control for the TV) took over 2 hours to complete.
As you can see by the weight of the pros and the cons... this wasn't the best experience. If you have a choice, please do yourself the favor and avoid the Holiday Inn Urine-fest on Rene-Levesque Blvd.
