| - Pursuant to the recommendation of Doctor Elsie W., the entries on her blog, along with Doctor Elsie W.'s spreadsheet of tips, I chose this hotel. I'm glad I did. (Oh, you haven't read LifeOnMacro yet? Here - http://lifeonmacro.com/travels/).
Stayed for two evenings in January of 2015 and was quite satisfied. The regular room was very large, and my King bed was a bit on the soft side, though quite comfortable. Television programming in English is available, but some of these French programs appear fun, too!
I wish the hotel would provide more than merely two small bottles of water and two Keurig cups of coffee. I don't need the other Keurig Cups! Just give me all coffee and allow me to give in to my addiction! I also wish that our room wasn't so close to a stairway because, believe it or not, we can hear people walking the stairs (who walks the stairs up 15 floors? Health nuts like Doctor Elsie W., probably).
The location is superb if you're interested in walking the area. It's a block or so away from Notre Dame Basilica, not far from The Keg Steakhouse (amazing review about it to be written later), near plenty of bakeries, and connects directly to the Underground City in the basement. Wintertime can get quite chilly out there, so I recommend driving and using a standalone GPS, even though things may seem very close by. Parking in Montreal is generally plentiful, with a few exceptions, of course.
The hotel parking lot is convenient, too - you can park it yourself overnight by entering the lot on the side of the hotel, taking a ticket, and paying when you leave. Note that you will need to go to L9 or lower to self-park (we chose L10 because it was closer to the elevators for us). Going back up to the hotel room requires the use of three different elevators, but it's easy to figure out once you get the hang of it. Don't expect to see too many staff around to help you around the parking lot, though.
I hope to be back soon.
