| - We had issues from the start at the Omni Hotel. Because we book through Orbitz, not the hotel website, we were not guaranteed 2 beds like we had wanted. We had kill 3 hours while they got a room together. No big deal, I understand now that is the risk you take by booking through a 3rd party.
When we got to the room couple more issues:
The toilet ran for 15 minutes after you flush it.
The mini fridge was broken. We found this out after we had placed all of our stuff in it and unpacked.
The AC was very slow to kick it. It was in the high 80's that weekend. It took about 6 hours to get the room to cool down to a decent level.
The ice machine on our floor was broken (level 21). Sucks when the fridge is broken.
Good things about the hotel:
Parking, easy in, easy out at $15 / day right at the hotel.
Location, location, location. Easy, safe walking distance to all Montreal has to offer.
Very large bathrooms and closets.
Bad things about the hotel:
No free breakfast
No couch in the room.
No vending machines (I didn't see any at least)
Very dated furniture and carpets.
Small TV.
wifi was $15 / day (I was unable to pick up any local networks either)
I never tried the hotel restaurant. The menu looked over priced compared to the local restaurants. Breakfast started at $15. Dinners looked around $35+.
I probably won't stay here again unless I get a really good price. The Marriott next door has more to offer (free wifi, breakfast, kitchenette, couch) at only a slightly higher price.
