| - The Opus was in an excellent location right in the heart of Montreal. The decor was modern - looking like an urban loft with large simple pieces of furniture maximizing the openness of the room, although the painting in the room was a bit too colorful for the rest of the decor. The bathroom was excellent with a large shower and great lighting. The hotel staff was very nice, exchanging some currency for me every day(Dollar-for-dollar, which was a better rate than the bank gave at the time). We were also able to catch some of the common-area wifi from our second floor room, which was great. Koko and Suco, the bars at the hotel, were busy every night, full of house and hip hop music and trashy dancing, if that is your thing. Koko even gave me a smoking screwdriver which was a great touch. All you had to do was flash your hotel key to get into either. While neither were my scene, I do admit that the DJ at Suco was definitely putting in the work and gave an impressive mix all the way to the end of the night, with a heavy emphasis on reading the crowd. Koko was definitely less inspired. musically, but it was less crowded and an easier crowd. The area can remain loud at night with many emergency vehicle sirens and car horns when it gets late, also you can pretty easily hear the music bumping in the hallways, but if you don't mind then it's a great stay. We got a great rate on Jetsetter and if we can get it again we'd be excited to go again.
