| - We enjoyed our weekday stay at this hotel in downtown Montreal. The location is fabulous--walking distance to the train station if you don't have too much luggage.
The rooms have a clean, modern feel and are on the small side. We were upgraded to a suite (fun!) and even that was a bit small. The bed was comfortable and I quite enjoyed the plush pillows. I liked that the windows had both a shade and curtains so that we could better control the light in the room. Speaking of light--what fun light fixtures! We thought they were pretty nifty. The TV was wall mounted and had a swivel mount so we could turn it to watch from the bed, which was quite nice. There was a small kitchenette with a fridge, coffee pot, sink, and microwave that all tucked into cabinets--made everything look sleek. The lighting around the kitchenette was not the best, but still manageable.
There's no real parking nearby, so it's great for people using transit during their stay but not if you'll be bringing a car.
In terms of food, there didn't seem to be a kitchen in the hotel and the breakfast was just muffins. The line was quite long when we went down, so we didn't do a taste test. There is a nice sized convenience store attached to the hotel--didn't even have to go outside! The shop had a good selection and the guy was great, even a bit funny :)
Staff at the hotel were polite, bilingual, helpful, and very friendly. They were able to answer any question we had with ease.
