| - This place barely gets it 4 because of its great service. It really is the best service I have ever received at a hotel. I was there 5 nights, alone, on leisure. I did upgrade to the premium room, as I have heard the others are a bit lacking in decor. I also wanted that free internet access, and I used it! It was also very easy to set up, extremely convenient.
The building is hard to miss, very different design, but it is downtown with all the other sky scrapers. The location really is great. I was in the center of everywhere I wanted to go, and right by the metro. The underground city seemed to be mostly cheap shops, though. Downtown can be a bit less than picturesque, though, for walking, but you are very close to old town/old port.
The room itself was not particularly new looking. The carpet and upholstery had obviously been redone, but the wall paper was starting to peel. The bed was heaven, though. HEAVEN. The room size was fine for me. The view was of mostly other sky scrapers, so nothing breathtaking, but it was still neat to be up high.
Upon arriving, I had a chasseur right away, I was checked in, and taken up to my room in a friendly, and quick manner. The concierges were very willing to help, though sometimes I felt better off checking things out online.
Go to the restaurant upstairs for dessert, some night, it is very nice, and the restaurant downstairs is good for a quick Poutine. Breakfast in-room is overpriced, don't bother unless someone else is paying. ($14 on the menu $23 on the room bill!)
Overall, a very good bet. Price is fine for the room you get.
