| - I stay in a lot of Hilton family hotels. A lot. Been an Honors Diamond member for 12 years running. This is probably WAS the best "downtown" HGI that I've personally experienced.
Until a recent series of major issues with the management regarding billing practices and subsequent denial of the agreed settlement has unfortunately placed this property on my "AVOID AT ALL COSTS" list.
If you get this property via Priceline, HotWire, or other similar service, you wont be disappointed - it features an excellent location with proximity to the Metro, Old Montreal, Chinatown, and the Latin Quarter. The hotel has all of the basics well covered - pool, work out facilities, excellent beds, decent WiFi, microwave, fridge.
HOWEVER, business travelers should be very wary of this establishment. Two consecutive major mess-ups from the front office exceeds my threshold for any generic business hotel. For the same (frequently lower!) price I would recommend the Embassy Suites - particularly if you want to stay in the Hilton family.
