We couldn't believe how great this place was. From the amazing front desk guy to the stunning, remarkably spacious room to the patience with our two-year-old to their flexibility in allowing us to check out early due to aforementioned two-year-old.
Breaking it down: The room was fantastic. Decorations were so thoughtful. We photographed it and said - we need to decorate like this.
The breakfast was great. It was a true American (Canadian?) breakfast - eggs, toast, meat (if you're into that sort of thing). They brought it to your room if you wanted and if you offered a tip, they seemed surprised!
Alexandre at the front desk was gracious, understanding and helpful. We couldn't have asked for better service at the Mandarin or Four Seasons.
The parking situation was ideal, with a spot reserved right behind the hotel for about $10 a night.
My only very minor gripe - the street it abuts is a little shabby, but if you walk an extra hundred feet or so, you're in the heart of Montreal's shopping and nightlife. Not that we got to enjoy either .... aforementioned two-year-old.
