| - This hotel is convenient to the airport. It is less convenient to downtown, as one has to traverse Montreal's frequently overloaded highway system. (As one local quipped: "They call them expressways, but they are really parking lots.")
We selected the hotel, because it offered reasonable rates and it allowed us to keep our dog with us overnight without an extra fee. The wifi is free. The hotel has a small pool, a outdoor lounging area, and a well-kept fitness room. There are grassy areas in the parking lot where one can walk a dog. The rooms are comfortable. I wish the breakfast was free, but it is fairly inexpensive.
My only concern was when we checked in. We booked our reservation on the website: Bring Fido. We listed the fact that we had 1 dog with us. When we were bring our dog into the lobby, the lobby attendant chastised me for not telling him I had a dog when I first got there, as he assigns different rooms based on presence or absence of a pet. I showed him a print-out of the reservation where I had listed the dog. Apparently, that information is not available to the staff checking one in. Otherwise, the stay was uneventful in a good way, and comfortable.
I would recommend it, if distance to downtown is not a consideration and one doesn't mind being literally next door to the park and ride lots and freeways of Montreal.
