| - I actually really like this place! In fact, I am still sitting in it at the desk in room 301. Having spent a the days prior in a tiny ugly box in the Delta Quebec the open space of our king bed room feels luxurious. Okay, so it's not a luxury boutique hotel. The hallways are sort of drab, there is peel and stick flooring and very basic design black boxy furniture. The decor is penthouse luxury done basement cheap --but that's the appeal! Why pay more than you have to, to be comfortable and in pretty surroundings?
Our bed is super comfy, there is plenty of desk space, we have a mini-fridge, our air-conditioner has made us comfortable penguins, our bathroom has plenty of room for toiletries, the bathtub is big enough to fit two people and there are even the softest towels! This is not like any Best Western I remember from childhood trips. The TV is HUGE! Not like one takes a trip to watch TV but, it's still a cool detail. I normally shy away from staying in chain hotels because I feel the karma is off. I'm a very hippie send your money to the little guy kind of girl. But after looking at more Montreal hotel reviews than prudent I settled on this guy because the location couldn't be beat and it was almost the same price as the hostel.
All around you on Rue Ste Catherine or Rue Rene Levesque is everything you could possibly need or want for. Cheap eats, expensive eats, high end clothing stores, every day fashion stores, supermarkets, drugstores, clubs, bars, etc. Most importantly staying here felt like staying in a live vibrant city. Instead of being cloistered away in a tourist trap or museum zone. Even the lobby is great for a budget hotel! A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
