Central location to plenty of shops and restaurants and McGill University. A bit far from Old Montreal to walk in the rain and cold (45 Fahrenheit max). The Asian restaurant inside was very good for lunch! The hotel has a beautiful interior and big rooms-trendy, colorful, and fun. It must be very trendy to have dark rooms too, because mine was "barely able to do work" dark-dark paint on the walls and no overhead lights. That's the one thing I'd like improved, but I would definitely stay there again.
