I stayed here during the weekend in April and June.
The Good:
+The suites are clean and in a good area, close to nightlife.
+The beds are very comfortable.
+Price is right and Drew Carey agrees. If you performed a Kayak/expedia/orbitz/hotels dot com comparison search this hotel will show up with very good rates.
+Kitchenettes are odd looking but having a fridge and microwave is convenient.
+The pool on the top is nice (you insert a key and pull the left door forward) with a lot of lounge chairs to enjoy the weather.
The Bad:
-Not all suites (2 queen bed) are equal. Television units are different in rooms: some have flat screens and some have the outdated tvs.
-The hotel still uses physical keys. This is odd since most hotels use card keys.
-Parking is 24 CAN/night. If you want to save money, there is a public lot behind the Omni (close by) and cheaper (16). You don't have in/out privileges though. Parking tickets are 52 CAN, so be warned.
-The gym is small and misclassified. I think of the luxury condos in Brooklyn that claim a "gym" as a star amenity luring buyers. The chest press machine pin was broken.
The Ugly:
--It took me a while to figure out how to open the door to the pool. Picture a monkey pulling a door for 10 minutes, while the people on the other side watching. Put up a sign, please.
Other things to know: Guests are asked to sign a "no party" waiver and there are mandatory quiet hours after 10pm. There is a strict checkout policy at noon.
If you're visiting Montreal I would suggest Hotel Le Cantlie Suites. This is not a high end luxury hotel but it's comfortable and affordable but doesn't give you the motel feeling.
