| - 3 1/2 stars.
We stayed here for 4 nights for our babymoon trip to Montreal last week. Listed below are all the pros and cons of this hotel.
Pros:
-downtown location, close to everything
-clean and large room
-free continental breakfast
-smell good toiletries
-fully stocked kitchen & appliances (fridge, oven, stove, toaster, microwave, etc)
-large safe
-free local calls
-off season rate is pretty affordable
-free wifi
-good amount of street parking
-friendly staff
-quiet
-pets stay free
Cons:
-no body lotion - weird b/c all hotels provide lotion
-during breakfast hours, the toaster machine on the 2nd floor emits a burnt smell which flows through the whole hotel and apparently can reach the 8th floor (where we were located) - smelled like cigarette smoke, not pleasant
-no complimentary parking - valet parking only, ~$25/day
-remodeling the front of the hotel - not very appealing w/ the wooden ramps and metal railings
-bed and pillows weren't as comfy as they could be
Overall, we had a pleasant stay at this hotel. For parking, I would either park in the parking lot next to the hotel for $17/day or $10 on weekends or after 5pm. We took the car everywhere so we just paid for a couple of hours on the street either at night or in the AM since there were plenty of street parking for us or it was just our luck. Street parking is free from 9pm to 9am. The location of this hotel was superb so if we were to ever visit Montreal again we would definitely look into staying here again depending on the rate. The hotel is nice and quiet which is a bonus b/c we've stayed at many hotels w/ very bad insulation between rooms.
