I booked this last January for Igloo fest with my boyfriend. I got it on Hotwire but otherwise I would have canceled. The rooms are beyond outdated. They're the equivalent of a 2 star at best. The rooms are blank and depressing. The bathroom is awkwardly lit and stale which makes it impossible to use the mirror.
Hotel also charges $13 / day for internet usage, whether you're a guest or a visitor. Unacceptable in this day and age.
I don't know why anyone is saying that its in a good area as its not. Its a long walk to the closest metro or where civilization is on ste catherine. It also baffles me where anyone likes the mall as it is shitty with a small food court in comparison to the underground city.
With so many options of gorgeous hotels in Montreal this shouldn't be one
