| - There are some pros and cons to the hotel, but we had a good experience overall.
Pros: Good location as a jumping off point in Montreal to see the sites. Close to rue St. Catherine a major shopping street. It is also right next to Montreal's Chinatown. The price was right for the location.
They offer a continental breakfast that featured bagels, croissant, banana bread, yogurt, hard-boiled eggs, beans, cheese, mixed fruits, cereal, and our favorite an espresso machine that makes cappuccino and lattes. The hours are 6am-10am during the week and 6am to 11am on weekends.
The room had a fridge, Apple desktop computer, coffee pot, and LCD TV. It also had free WiFi. The bathrooms are spacious and nicely designed. The rooms have a modern, but welcoming feel with wooden looking floors. You need a key card to use the elevator adding extra security. The female staff at the front desk were attentive and helpful, but not all the staff were such.
Cons: Biggest con was the parking recommended was at the Convention Center two blocks away for $24/day. So this is an add on to your cost if you are traveling my car. If, there had been a lot of snow this would have been a pain to walk with any luggage. There was a lot nearer outside, but when we say a car with its window broken out in the street, I would recommend you use the lot they recommend. The male staff at the front desk were a bit lazy and not as helpful as the female staff. I wanted to spend an extra night, but the male staff member was too lazy to enter it in and I went back later and the female staff member helped.
