My best friend and I stayed here a couple of nights for a girls trip. We arrived early to the hotel; way before check in time. We were greeted by their friendly doorman and concierge. Early check in was not available and only pre check in which includes a $150 hold on a credit card; the normal no big deal. We finished our pre check in and we were both handed complimentary bottles of water (for first time check in clients only). We proceed to hand over our bags to be held until we could check in later on. Our friendly concierge informed us of places we should go and marked out a map with directions of the Metro and Old Montreal.
We returned to the hotel later in the evening and check in. We were giving our key cards which operate the elevator and our room; also large towels for their pool (Located on the second floor) our bags we taken directly up to our room. Our room was beautiful, bright with a king size bed, decent size LCD T.V, beautiful bathroom but no bathtub. The only downside of the room was the sliding doors that opened from the shower to the bedroom (see photos), no real sense of privacy. It's not a deal breaker for me anyway. The hotel is located in the business, shopping district and about a 30min walk to Old Montreal. It's a great location with a lot of things to do, from shopping to climbing Mount Royal and having some fantastic meal too.
After a long day of walking around you can enjoy a nice dip in their tiny, cute and comfy pool. I only got to enjoy one night in the pool since my second attempt of a night dip left me with a sad face emoticon since it was closed for maintenance at 8:30pm on my second night stay. I didn't check out their gym because my thought is, I'm on vacation and I'm not working out. So if you're looking for a great hotel to stay at while in Montreal, Le St-Martin has me sold and I will stay here again when I return.
FYI it's a little pricy and can cost you $200-$300 a night.
