An absolutely fantastic value, and overall a hotel I'd recommend regardless of what I paid. It's an older building, but it is kept up well and the staff provides a level of service that makes you feel like an appreciated guest.
The rooms are clean and spacious, and though the air conditioning struggles to cool them off, it's better than no air conditioning at all. The bathrooms are on the small side, but nicely appointed and equipped with what is easily the most powerful shower heads conceived by humankind. It's as if God is screaming at you when you're in there.
Location-wise, you have Downtown right there. You're a few blocks over from St-Catherine, a block from Peel Station, and a short walk to open green spaces. If (and when) I make it back to Montreal, the Cantlie will be in the conversation for where to stay. You won't find a better value.
