We had booked a major hotel chain in downtown Montreal but needed to arrive one day early so decided on Le Dauphin. The price sounded much better than the chain even though we knew we were a little distance from downtown Montreal.
Upon arrival we found a lovely hotel with every amenity that we wanted at a great price. The free parking saved us $17 per day compared to the city. A continental breakfast was included which would save us another $20 or so. The room had a King sized bed, a fridge, an electronic safe, a large screen flat panel TV, and free wireless. I guess the biggest surprise was the free computer in each room! The floors are a hardwood laminate which gives it a cool modern look.
We would have appreciated better coffee in the room as their included coffee is mediocre at best. The continental breakfast is just OK and yet it carried us nicely into midafternoon each day. The cappucino machine did add a nice touch though. Aside from the pouring rain on our visit we were thrilled with the place. We extended our stay to two nights and then caved and did all three here by cancelling our other booking. We took the nearby Metro into the city and found it really convienient. The staff were also really pleasant when we needed a bit of direction.
