| - I'm always amazed at how the magnificent stone buildings in Old Montreal with all their outward character can then be rehabilitated inside into gorgeous, well appointed, and up-to-date accommodations. The Nelligan certainly fits that criteria, especially with preserving a bit of the stone and brick walls in the rooms.
Arriving by car on the cobblestone street the valet will take care of storing your car and have it available within ten minutes should you need it. And you probably won't with so much within walking distance. The staff are very friendly, welcoming, and of course, bi-lingual.
The hotel has a dining area on the ground floor for breakfast through dinner, and a full bar. The breakfast dining area is within an impressive five-story atrium-like area with balcony areas looking down from above. There is also a rooftop dining and drinking terrace open for lunch and dinner hours. A warm and inviting sitting area off the lobby by the reception desk is perfect for relaxing or a casual conversation.
Our room for two was very spacious with a comfortable king size bed, at least five king sized, down filled pillows of varying firmness, and independently controlled LED reading lights on each side of the bed. In addition to the flat screen TV, a radio with CD/DVD capabilities is also provided. USB connections are available in the room for charging electronic devices. The in-room service bar has wine, liquor, water, snacks, and even condoms. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel.
The bathroom has a whirlpool tub large enough for two and a separate, large, glass enclosed shower offering both hand controlled and overhead rain showering. Two terry-cotton robs are provided along with an iron, a hair drier, an adjustable, lighted make-up mirror, and appropriate body lotion, soap, shampoo, and beauty & shoe shine kits.
Overall, this is a wonderful and luxurious place to stay while visiting Montreal.
