| - We stayed here in May 2009, and we are going back to Montreal this May, but are staying somewhere less expensive with a bigger kitchenette in the same area.
There were four of us who had booked a room for a music festival we flew to Montreal to see, and we all showed up with our laptops so we can stay in touch back home (cuz what is a vacation without work?) However "Complimentary High Speed internet" does not mean high speed wi-fi, so we had to take turns plugging our laptops in or dragging our shit into the lobby, which was the one place where the wi-fi actually worked (even though it was super slow, high-speed my ass!) The "Fitness Centre" consisted of a treadmill, a bike and some weights, which looked as though they had all been purchased in the 70's, and since the room had no windows you could open, it got really stuffy, really fast.
I think my favourite part of our week-long stay though was the housekeeping. Now, I don't mean to blame the housekeepers, but since the hotel had given out discounts for all the out-of-town people who were staying there for festival, you would think they would not wake us up at the ungodly hour of 8am, especially since the festival went until 3am, not to mention any afterparties... In any case, we went to the front desk to see about getting a "do not disturb sign" and they told us they didn't have any. So we decided to draw a picture of us sleeping and turn it into a home-made sign. Magically, a "do not disturb" sign appeared on our door handle the next morning! Hallelujah! We were safe to sleep in for the rest of the trip!
The hotel did offer a complimentary breakfast, if you were able to drag your hungover ass down to the lobby before 10am, and honestly free doesn't always = good. Only two of the four of us were able to swallow our liquid dinners long enough to run downstairs, fill up a plate, throw it in the fridge and run back to bed, but most of the time it wasn't really worth it, unless you wanted to try and strike up a conversation with some of the other zombies who were staying for the festival too. I should have just stashed some cereal or granola bars in the hotel room.
I will give the hotel props for storing our luggage on our checkout day since our flight was in the afternoon and not in the morning, I really did appreciate that. I guess the reason I am only giving this three stars is because it was pretty pricey, even split four ways, and as someone who has travelled a lot, I have experienced better.
