So these chain hotels in and near the Old Port get the job down as they provide a nice clean bed and are a roof over the head and are usually way less expensive than the boutique hotels. But, with that being said, they have no character whatsoever. I wake up and I could be in Gary, Indiana not the beautiful city of Montreal.
The staff is super friendly, the rooms are spacious, the bed comfortable. The king suite had a huge kitchen and dining area which would makes it perfect for sharing as well as entertaining. The bathroom had a ginormous whirlpool yet a small shower which was weird but other than that, no complaints.
The complimentary breakfast was intense: a bit chaotic and unorganized. I'd recommend picking up some fresh fruit and forgo the rest unless you're looking to save money.
Overall, a solid option but definitely not the best.
