| - Before relocating to Montreal, I stayed at this hotel for a solid month. It is very conveniently located at the beginning of the Old Port of Montreal, near the Orange line, Square Victoria stop.
The hotel being in the Old Port has a certain look about it, historically sophisticated perhaps. Inside, the hotel is inviting and has a friendly staff. The rooms are large, the bathrooms are clean and modern. I do think that some additional modernization is required...when I stayed the tv's were all the old school tube type, could stand an update to flat screens. Additionally, wireless was not available but a wired connection was included. Also the breakfasts were lacking.
To stay in this area, you of course will pay a premium. If I had to do it again, I'd stay at the Place d'Armes.
Another topic to note is that even though Montreal is a metropolitan city, this whole area gets pretty scarce after 6pm and is pretty much shut down after 9pm, with the exception of a few restaurants in the Old Port. If your looking to go out, you'll need to travel to the Plateau, or walk over to St. Catherine's street. If on the other hand you are looking for a romantic weekend get away, or staying near the business district during the week, then this place is ideal.
