| - Location, location, location! Situated in somewhat the red light district of Montreal and across Chinatown, the hotel is within walking distance to Notre Dame Basilica which is in Old Montreal as well as two metro stations. I think we scored big on this one.
We drove up from NY so a car was in tow. It could be a pain driving around the city due to parking accessibility, plus, their public transit is way too good to pass up on. What to do with our car? Lucky enough, they have valet/overnight parking available with in and out privileges for about $25. Due to the parking lot being offsite, the downside is that you need to give the valet at least half an hour notice if you need your car. Forget about spontaneous trips! Again, public transportation is the way to go. Leave your car, use the metro, and walk!
The hotel is very modern and chic. It's small so it's more like a boutique. With that said, rooms are not massive at all but comfortable enough for a good night's rest. Bed is super comfy with fluffy pillows and duvet blanket. There's extra blanket in the closet if you need one. I love that the glass window was big and brought so much sunshine in the room if you left the curtains open. We had a beautiful view of Chinatown and an open lot covered in snow. It was a pretty sight to wake up to! No safe in the room but it comes with a small kitchenette consisting of a microwave, plates/utensils, and coffeemaker all neatly tucked away in cupboards. TV and iPod dock is available, as well as lots of drawers in the room. I especially love the long bench at the foot of the bed that opens for storage!
The bathroom, well, it's small but has nice lighting. I was stoked to find the basic complimentary toiletries to be from the Philosophy line. Very cool! Towels are freshly stocked daily and although the shower area is a bit narrow, I love the shower head they use and the fact that there's a mirror inside the shower. I don't know about you but that's really helpful when rinsing off completely. Ok, too much info!
Muffins and coffee are available for free until 10am in the lobby. Haven't tried them so can't say if they're any good. There's just too many good places to eat in the city. Meanwhile, the front desk crew are bilingual and helpful but not all of them are very informative. Good thing the hotel has free WIFI! That helped us figure things out on our own.
Would I come back? If I ever plan a trip to Montreal again, I definitely will. Location is key!
