This was the perfect stay in Montreal. All of the staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. It was probably the fastest check-in I've ever experienced, but also warm and welcoming. The room was fantastic, we had a great view of the river, the jacuzzi tub was essential after a long day of walking, the bed was supremely comfortable, and the fireplace and brick walls add to a luxurious and romantic feel.
The gym is surprisingly well-appointed for a hotel fitness center. We had drinks and food both at the terrace bar on the roof, and downstairs and both were great.
The concierge service was superb. We got reservations to Au Pied de Cochon while in town, and helpful hints about jazz clubs and other bars.
The only bad part was having to leave. We will be back to the Hotel Nelligan.
