| - What a gorgeous hotel!
I'll admit it, I usually skimp when it comes to hotel accommodations while on vacation. My thinking that if I am on vaycay, I am going to spend the least amount of time possible up in my room. I don't know if I could go back to that frame of thought though after staying at such an upscale hotel.
Le St-Martin is beautiful on the inside and out. The crackling fireplace was always going, warming up the luxurious lobby where leather couches welcomed you to take a load off from a day of pounding the pavement. Chandeliers and a spiral staircase add touches of elegance ti this 5 star hotel.
The staff was always friendly and willing to help give directions or recommendations. Each member being professional and affable our entire stay.
The rooms were glorious! The decor was sophisticated and cozy, and the beds were decked out with the plushy, warm down comforters and pillows that made nap time an everyday must. Even the basic room had a huge whirlpool tub and double sinks, perfect for two girls! The room had a Keurig coffee maker, but lacked any creme or sugar. However, if you happen to be in your room later in the afternoon, someone will come knocking on your door to offer you tea or coffee and you can always request the proper accouterments from reception if need be.
Free wifi is a great added plus, as is the close proximity to the Metro Station (Peel or McGill). Le St-Martin Hotel is right in the heart of activity, close to shopping and downtown and great bars and restaurants.
The gym is small, only one tredmill, one eliptical and one bike.. but heck, who wants to work out on vacation anyway?! The pool is also very small, as is the space, so if you are looking for a summertime hotel where a hit or miss is the availability to lounge by a pool, this might not be your spot.
Late checkout is an added fee, but they are willing to hold your bags for you at no cost if you have time left to explore the city before departing.
Highly recommended for couples looking for a romantic spot, friends on the get-away or a business traveler. I'd say not the best family spot or hotel for kids.
