| - I've stayed at Anne Ma Soeur Anne twice now and I always think of it as quite the bargain. The first time I visited Montréal, I stayed at one of Delta's properties, your usual corporate/salaryman hotel. Needless to say, it was underwhelming.
On the other hand, Anne Ma Soeur Anne has done all the things right. For example, at the Big Corporate Hotel, there was no free Wifi access and even worse, not even a fridge. Little Hotel That Could had both. Anne Ma Soeur Anne is nothing fancy but all I'm looking for in a hotel is a clean place to hang out and watch some television (or surf the internet) while I relax from a long day of sightseeing. While it's not fancy, that doesn't mean that it doesn't have its charms. The daily croissants left at the door are cute and if you have a room that's facing away from St-Denis, you really have no idea that on the other side of the hotel is one of Montréal's busiest streets.
My favourite thing about this place is its incredible location. It's within walking distance to many of the areas of Montréal I usually hang out in (Plateau, Mile End, etc) and it's close to a ton of great restaurants and shopping along both St-Denis and The Main. Not to mention that La Banquise is a very short walk away for that drunken three in the morning Poutine snack.
Highly, highly recommended and a great value for a hotel. Just don't expect a flat screen HDTV, room service and an in hotel spa treatment centre and you'll be fine.
