| - My girlfriend rented this place for our two-day vacation in Montreal. Having never stayed at a fancy hotel, I was very impressed with the overall layout, the door opening services, the valet, and the scented water coolers in front of the concierge.
That being said, there were a couple of drawbacks from the Omni hotel. First, it's fairly expensive, and while the location is great and in close proximity to the metro and to the college, we came on the weekend where there was a McGill Party and there were multiple loud, inebriated citizens that made me remember how much I did not miss college. Also, many services that I've come to expect in a standard hotel was not included in our stay. The internet, breakfast, parking all cost extra. Fortunately, we were able to park our car at an adjacent lot just behind the hotel, without being charged an obscene amount for valet services. The gym was well equipped with treadmills and bikes, but could have used more free weights and bar system. The pool was also closed and the jacuzzi was under construction.
The individual room was very beautiful, with a shower head that could peel off dried paint from its pressurized stream. I wish there were more English TV channels, and a larger, more functional mini fridge. The best part, however, was the amazing king-size bed, which delayed all of our plans since we could not get ourselves away from such an amazing, comfortable mattress.
