| - Overall :
Solid hotel, good location, great breakfast, decent price. Nice, salt-water pool! A lot of other reviews of this place confuse me. It seems like they are describing a different hotel.
Room :
We had a king size bed business class room (free upgrade from what we booked). The room was a good size, two comfortable chairs, nice TV, strong wifi signal. Smallish shower, but not ludicrously so. Pretty nice - amazing view over the city
Cleanliness :
I am a clean freak. I hate staying in hotels and I strip the bed everywhere I go to look for bed bugs. The highest compliment I can give is that I generally had no complaints. The furniture was clean (and bug free) the bathrooms were clean, even the pool area was decent.
Location :
Right on the line between the Gay Village and Quartier des Spectacles, walking distance to several bars, and directly above the crossing of the orange and green (M1, M2) subway lines. Can't get any better than that! We always had places within walkable distance, we didn't have to go outside to get to the subway if we wanted to go further away, and we walked out the front door to see a free CIRCUS happening in the park across the street. Great location.
Service :
Friendly staff, very helpful. Cleaning crew was in and out quickly every day, concierge was super helpful, and the staff was always smiling when they greeted us. The two guys watching the pool clearly didn't care, but otherwise pretty great.
Breakfast :
Not technically a hotel only service, but included with our room, it was much better than any included hotel breakfast I've ever had. Lots of fresh fruit, eggs, bacon, sausage, decently good baked goods, several types of cereal, and actually good coffee. Worth mentioning because it made the stay just a little bit nicer, and gave us a nice kickstart to every morning.
Price :
After all the taxes, our room ended up being about $250 a night, which was a little more than we expected, but not terrible. Considering it was booked on 3 days notice, right in the middle of Warped Tour weekend, the Circus festival, and the Montreal Jazz Festival it wasn't a bad price. With the breakfast and great service, it didn't feel expensive.
Other :
A few other reviews mentioned the homeless people in the area. Yes. Get over it. There are a ton of parks around, Montreal is a BIG city, and homeless people are a reality. Nobody was aggressive or crazy towards us, mostly they left us alone. Even if they didn't, what the heck do you expect a hotel to do about the fact that homeless people exist in their city? Get real.
