| - Such a cute little B&B. We usually stay at hotels but decided to try this place out seeing the good reviews. We were not disappointed!
When we arrived we were given two keys - 1 for the room and 1 for the actual building because the reception closes at 8pm. No problem at all.. really doesn't matter to us!
1. Room - as soon as we came in, the room smelled great, like fresh laundry! Everything was stocked - towels, extra sheets and pillows, shampoo conditioners etc. The place was clean and had a homey comfortable feel to it. I am usually picky with how clean places are but I didnt see much I can complain about! I mean I saw like one cobweb but the pros beat this. The washroom was well kept and smelled like it has been cleaned properly. The bed and sheets were also very comfortable to sleep in.
2. The Breakfast - probably the best part of my weekend! The two breakfasts we had were great. This is no buffet like your regular hotel breakfast. You order and they make it for you - omelettes, eggs benedict, bacon, etc. They ask if you want waffles or french toast to start (we tried the french toast both mornings, plus extra orders because it was just TOO good....with passion fruit cream sauce on the side....Drools!). They also serve fresh fruit, extra toast with butter, cheese, PB, cereals, coffee, etc. I also can't forget the ladies in the kitchen, they were just super sweet and so welcoming :)
3. Location - I can throw a rock at the metro station! Which is a super plus for us! Getting around Montreal was so much easier with this B&B being in the heart of downtown and so close to the station.
4. Small cons - our room (503) was right below the kitchen so we heard footsteps and quiet thumps in the morning as the ladies were cooking breakfast. It really doesn't make a difference for us because we are heavy sleepers anyway, but worth mentioning! Maybe request a room upstairs or something if you're a lighter sleeper (there's only 14 rooms I believe?). Also the walls are kind of thin but it's expected with an older building!
I would definitely recommend this B&B and will be staying again. I would come back with my husband but probably not with my toddler until he's a bit older, so we don't disrupt anyone!
But honestly. The place is great the way it is. Thanks Auberge for an awesome anniversary trip for my Husband and I!!!
