| - Novotel is a Eurocentric chain of business hotels that is part of the European Accor Hotel family of brands, which include Ibis Hotels, and perhaps its most prolific US chain, Motel 6.
I used to stay regularly in the Novotel Hotel in Glenn Waverly in the southeast suburbs of Melbourne, Australia, and it was efficient, moderately priced, and well run.
This Novotel is similar and is located very close to the P.E.T. Montreal Airport, off highway 40 near highway 13.
It is a 5 story hotel, pretty new with no signs of wear and tear, with modern Euro styled furnishings. The room is decent size, with a king size bed with a sheet and duvee-covered down comforter, and 3 king size pillows. The bathroom is also modern Euro like with the more table like wash basin stand, a faux porcelain basin "bowl", with nice european fixtures.
I always wondered why French and Japanese hotels have better bathroom fixtures, more stylish and functional, with faucets in sinks and bathtubs with smooth pouring streams of water, while American hotels have these funky rubber gasketed faucets that splatter about with the refinement of a fat ,spitting American tourist wondering why everyone in a foreign country doesn't speak English?
This hotel is for business people, as there is no bathtub, only a nice tiled large shower with adjustable slide/handheld shower head.
The Novotel has a free airport shuttle van, a small restaurant with a buffet breakfast that only costs $9 CAD, and has a clean modern feel and ambiance. We only paid $99 CAD for a Friday night in spring.
