| - We stayed one night at this lovely boutique hotel in Vieux-Montéal. Hôtel Gault is tucked away in a quiet little area in the middle of everything. The service was outstanding. We received a free upgrade when we checked in, and warm cookies were brought up to welcome us. Our room was very large and well laid out, with lots of storage and closet space. It was so blissfully quiet. The weather was gorgeous, so I was delighted to learn that the windows open! There was a huge soaking tub sized for two (with foaming body wash provided) - perfect for my husband and I after the long train ride from Québec City. The shower was also heavenly - incredible water pressure and the shower head was high enough to make my 6'3" husband happy. But only 2 Towels (though they were big and fluffy), 2 hand towels, 2 wash cloths (no extras, but I'm sure we could have gotten more had we been motivated to call down). Breakfast was magnifique! I would come just for breakfast even if I weren't staying at the hotel.
What I didn't love is that there are not coffee/hot tea makers in the rooms. I didn't think to check before we retired and they didn't let me know when we were checking in, so I didn't make other arrangements for my morning caffeine delivery system (room service); not a great way to start my morning. But they were so awesome in the lobby - clearly accustomed to addicts stumbling, grumbling and barking as they emerge from the elevator needing their morning fix - strong black tea was quickly placed in my hand, followed by huge, thick-doesn't-even-begin-to-describe-it, Texas-would-be-embarrassed, maple syrup marinated slabs of bacon. After that start, I was ready to face anything the day could bring!
There were two other things I didn't love. The first was that the window coverings are perfect for the decor, but they do not block out the beautiful night lightscape (Montreal's Plan Lumière), which appears to turn off only after the sun comes up. Thinking I had overslept, I was continually waking and checking the time on my phone. I could not stay here again without a sleep mask. The second was that the bed was just okay, not very comfortable. It's unfortunate that not all upscale hotels, at a minimum, use thick, plush mattress covers.
One final thing to note is that if you have mobility issues that make stairs difficult, this may not be a good hotel choice; you will have to climb stairs to enter the hotel. The staff is wonderful about quickly running out to greet you and carrying all of your items up the stairs for you, but you will have to make your way up several steps.
