I'm a die-hard Marriott hotel frequent guest. I love that I can use the points I earned at hotels in Asheville and Columbia and Chicago for a "free" hotel for a weekend in Montreal. That's just awesome.
This was a major redemption. 50,000 points bought me a concierge-level room on the 35th floor. A two-room suite with a great view of the river, which was great because that's where the fireworks were. Yep, I was here for Canada Day.
Comfortable bed and a bathroom with all the usual features of Marriott properties. Plus a bidet. Bellman in the lobby is happy to hold your bags if you check out and still have time before leaving Montreal. There is also an elevator to the Bonaventure Métro station (though it was out of service during my stay).
As with all full-service Marriotts, this one has a concierge lounge and free wifi for Gold and Platinum level Marriott Rewards members.
