| - The room and service were fine. I had a studio so the fridge is 18ft (5.5m) from the bed and the compressor can get noisy. The hotel is nicely situated in downtown. The walk from the Via Rail/central station is slightly uphill and 10-15 minutes, a nice, scenic walk. A ride from the hotel to Old Montreal via taxi was $12CDN with tip, and a taxi to the airport was a fixed rate of $38CDN w/o tip. I stayed in a room on the 14th floor, in an odd-number room, floor#"03", and there is a nightclub across the street that pounds music all night, and has loud patrons outside until I don't know when (I put in ear plugs). If you are a light sleeper, stay on the even side room numbers of the hotel and don't face Peel St. Or, stay somewhere else.
The workout room is good sized and on the top floor with two treadmills, two elliptical, some free weights, and lots of room. Breakfast is on the mezzanine and was, meh, pretty average, but included. I'd spend the extra $40/night and stay at the Marriott-proper just a bit south again, when I come back. Views are better from there too, and it's more convenient. 1-star for the all night boom-chick-boom-chick music which made the stay very unpleasant, as well as the screaming patrons exiting the club. Eliminate the noisy music, it's a 3-3.5 rating.
