| - After endlessly searching for a decent hotel for a last minute trip to Montreal we settled on Cantlie, mainly based on the deal they were running on Travel Zoo (3 nights for $280). The thing that made the search a nightmare was the sub-par reviews on this, and comparable, hotels. Well thank god for Yelp because I intend to author a comprehensive review...
Location - On Sherbrooke, downtown, with what seemed like all the other hotels. Great because I would have been peeved if I shelled out $400 for the Sofitel, it's literally across the street. Cantlie is a few blocks down from the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, a short walk away from restaurants, shopping, etc.
Room - Everything I want in a hotel room - spacious, super comfy bed, TV, closet space, bathroom - and a few extras too! (fridge, microwave, couch, desk). Everything is clean and spotless. The bathroom was small but uses space very effectively. The shower is pretty hardcore (water pressure and temperature, yikes) but I got used to it. Amazing view with our windows facing out from the back of the hotel.
Parking - Private garage entrance in the rear alley. Easy in and out access. They bill your room the cost, roughly $18 (+tax) for 24 hours. Very cordial attendant!
Internet - Wifi for around $5 (+tax) per day. The front desk provides an authorization code and the charge is billed to your room. I'm actually writing this review from it right now, fast speed!
Lobby/Facilities - Clean, well kept, spacious. The three elevators are constantly in use and are a bit of clusterfuck sometimes because they only hold 4/5 people at a time. Decor is a little dated but I expected much worse. It appears that all efforts to modernize have been taken.
Pool - Roof deck pool with an amazing view! Lounge chairs circle the pool for sun bathing if you don't want to swim.
Fitness Room - One treadmill, two bikes, a few multi-purpose weight benches, and a stretching room. Fitness area also has a cold water filtration dispenser and a TV. It gets a little stuffy when you're working out but there is an AC going.
Buffet Breakfast - Decent. Buffet standards: eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, cereal, yogurt., fruit, bagels, toast. Way too pricey if you were paying but we had free meal vouchers for each morning of our stay. Service was spotty, seemed like the staff were running around with their heads cut off. Adequate.
I think that's it. I would highly recommend this hotel and return any time!
