| - Are you terrified of robots?
The reason I ask is because the layout of this hotel reminds of some futuristic community (as imagined by early 1970's film directors). Everything seems Utopian, even though people are not wearing identical outfits, but you have a feeling that at some point some robots are going to turn vengeful and then all hell will break loose.
But until that time, you can enjoy this futuristic, funky, unique and dated property. I kind of like it, just because it's so different. This is basically a square with rooms on the outside square and paths radiating to the rooms from the center. In the center you have dining options as well as their very cool pool. There is also a little stream that circumnavigates the inner perimeter, although that is turned off in winter months.
I've stayed here twice and my rooms have been clean and comfortable both times. I really like the gym as well. It's clean and well equipped.
There are a few quibbles. Wifi is super weak. There are only two elevators to get you to the lobby and they seem to be slow. Also, this is the least disability friendly property in the world because there are all these little steps everywhere. They look nice but if you had limited mobility or were in a chair, navigation would be difficult.
However, the location is great. You're close to the metro, shopping and sights and it is possible to navigate your way through most of downtown Montreal without ever setting foot outside.
This will always be my go-to property when I come to Montreal because it's so cool. I figure if the robots are going to kill me, I might as well be comfortable.
