Outstanding boutique hotel in the Preferred Hotels chain. Nice, quiet location in Old Town and within a short stroll to Victoria Station metro (3-5 minute walk) or St. Laurent bus stop (5-7 minute walk) for exploring other sections of Montreal such as Plateau/Mt. Royal, Mile End, and Little Italy.
Upon check-in, I was greeted with a complimentary upgrade (do sign up in advance for their Iprefer rewards program)....room was huge and was a corner room with nice wrap around windows with views and plenty of sunlight. Very comfortable bed and nice rain shower.
Front desk staff was most hospitable and helpful with restaurant and sightseeing suggestions, I did not eat at the hotel (seemed a bit pricey), the gym is indeed small (however, the front desk worked out a special 2-day pass for $23 at the uber trendy and nice Mansfield Athletic Club located about a 15 minute walk away off of St. Catherine), and it's not a lively, busy lobby as is the case at some other hotels but I enjoyed that. Would stay here again on a return visit....check their website for specials and packages.
