| - After my fourth stay in four months, it was time to review this hotel. I came twice for pleasure, and twice for business.
Centrally located, it's about a 10 minute walk to Old Montreal proper, 10 minute walk to the Bell Centre or about 15 minute walk to St. Catherine Street. It's also connected to the metro underground - Square Victoria on the orange line. Sweet!
The newly reno'd Mode rooms are decked out with flat screen tv's, mini philosophy bath products, and iPod dock alarm clocks. It feels like you're in a much chicer boutique hotel. The non-reno'd rooms are fine, expect a basic hotel room with old school tv's and comfy beds.
Room service is prompt and the food is a-ok. Nothing to write home about, especially considering you're in Montreal with tons of foodie options at your fingertips.
One specific thing to note, if you end up in a signature club room you'll have access to the signature private lounge and complementary continental breakfast. The lounge offers city views, free coffee bevies, national newspapers, snacks from "4 a 7" and a quiet place to get some work done. Pretty perfect if you're away on business.
Parking is $24 a night.
Last thing to mention, Quebec is a francophone province with Montreal being the most bilingual city. Staff here are fluent in both languages, but you'll note French comes first.
