The Gault is a wonderful destination. My fiance and I stayed for Valentine's day weekend 2012. We picked what could have been one of the coldest weekends all winter to visit Montreal, but due to the cozy warmth of our home-away-from-home at the Gault we felt so comfortable!
The room was lovely, we had a loft basic package and really enjoyed the heated floor and cute door overlooking the street. The bed is super soft and really a nice complement to the modern look of the room. There's turn down service and cookies provided daily. The location of the hotel in Old Montreal could not have been better - it's perfect for walking through the area and very close to the waterfront.
We took part in the spa package offered through the website with the Scandinavian baths and really enjoyed the experience. Our massages were great and the price was reasonable and cheaper than what we would have paid on our own.
I emailed the concierge ahead of time to request a special wine and snack celebratory surprise for my fiance and they were so helpful. The entire request was provided to perfection and right on time. I would highly recommend working with the concierge as the recommendations for dinner and jazz club were completely on-point.
I've given 4 stars instead of 5 for a couple of reasons: the price is still a bit high for what you get, the breakfast is not included in the room rate although we were told it would be upon check in, and the gym is adequate but quite small.
