We had a great stay here for two nights in October 2014. The bilingual staff were very friendly. We didn't need a fancy place to stay, so our plainly furnished room with king-size bed, small fridge, free Wi-Fi, and big TV was a great surprise for the low price we paid (I booked through Hotels.com).
The location is really perfect. It's right in the middle of the University of Quebec (UQAM) area, so there are lots of cute coffeeshops and cheap places to eat. It's only a few blocks to walk to great restaurants, grocery stores, and sightseeing areas, and the metro stop is two blocks away. The Greyhound station (Gare d'Autocars) is only a few minutes' walk as well.
The walls are thin - we could hear the family either down the hall or next door to us have muffled conversations among themselves.
We will definitely stay here again if we return to Montreal!
