| - At first I was not sure about staying at the Novotel, simply because I have never had the opportunity. but I chose this hotel because of it's proximity to my office during my stay's here in Montreal.
I have to say, if someone has an issue with the hotel being "dated", or not pleased with something that occurred during a renovation, then those people are looking for something to complain about. I could not have been more pleased with my stay.
I arrived late simply because my habit is always the last flight into my work geo. And the gentleman at the front desk was the personification of a professional welcoming you to a nice place to call a temporary home. I do not recall his name, but my stay was from 11/29 through 12/2; and I arrived at approximately midnight. Wonderful disposition and super helpful. Truly made me feel welcome and at home.
The room was very spacious, clean, and comfortable. I cannot imagine why anyone would have an issue with this hotel.
This hotel is perhaps the most well placed hotel that I have ever stayed at anywhere. All you need to do to get to anything and everything that you could want to do and see downtown, is walk out the front door, take a left; go to the end of the block and then go left or right. It's all right there, a 2 minute walk away. My office was out the door, to the right, and also a two minute walk away. So I preferred the left turn from the front door. :-)
I enjoyed my stay here so much, that I will attempt to use it as my home in Montreal whenever rooms are available, and that aligns with what my corporate travel overlords will bless at any given time.
Stay here. Don't give it a second thought.
Okay... one last thing...
I'm a fitness but. My liquid intake consists of water, good coffee. And when time allows, fine bourbon and/or scotch. So, not having a grocery store nearby where I could buy a gallon sized bottle of water, I drank water from the bathroom sink. I have to say, it tastes so clean, and crisp; almost as if it was from a filtered water system. I know that's such a minor point. But to me, if I can be comfortable drinking the water from the bathroom faucet, it speaks well of the establishment.
