| - Pros:
The front desk staff here are all super friendly - they're always smiling, always helpful, and do as much as they possibly can to make sure you're happy with your stay.
The location is great! The immediate area is okay, but if you walk a bit up the hill to Rue St. Catherine you'll see a bustling, hip area. If you walk even further up to Sherbrooke, you'll start seeing the McGill area where there are plenty of students. And the best part is that you're a block away from the subway, which is great great great. Note: You can only purchase subway tickets with CAD or Canadian credit cards, no international credit cards. The subway is very, very convenient and for a 24-hour pass for $8CAD, it's quite a great way to travel around!
You get free cookies (though they seem to be out of the bag Chips Ahoy chocolate chip cookies), one free soda, and one free alcoholic drink per day based on the honor system.
The furnishings and everything about the B&B is charming. Maybe it's just the Montreal air but it felt cozy, friendly, and homey - definitely some place I'd like to return to for any reason possible.
The parking here is easy. We came on a Friday afternoon and parked right out front, a house or two down and we were able to leave the car there for free the entire weekend with no problems. They do have parking restrictions but from the French I could remember from high school, we were well within the time frames.
Free wifi! They also have two computers you can use in the lobby if you didn't bring your own laptops.
The temperature of the B&B was kept at a comfortable and cool level, making the stay even better - just fyi, there aren't individual air conditioners or heaters in the rooms, for those who need it.
Cons:
The breakfast was a bit disappointing. I'm not sure where the three-course breakfasts were but we did receive a piece of french toast or waffle and then you get your egg dish. It was okay but it wasn't mind-blowing. Although this is admittedly much, much better than many a Continental breakfast I've had. I guess I was just expecting too much, which in the end may not be their fault!
Although the design of the entire place was charming, the place was a bit dated. You could see holes in the wall, quickly patched with mud. The mattresses were thin, not plush, and the comforters weren't comfortable.
The walls and doors are pretty thin. We slept in Room 504, so we were expecting some noise overhead with people walking around in the lobby, but we could hear conversations taking place in the lobby quite clearly.
Would I come again? Certainly! For $150CAD/night it isn't a steal or a bargain but it's for sure reasonably priced for all its pros. Yay Les Bons Matins and Montreal - love the city!
