| - This is a fun hotel for anyone who is into design. There are interesting and beautiful touches all over the place. From the chairs in the lobby, to the wall coverings, and light fixtures.
The design of the pool is super cool too.
We paid significantly less than others for our room. I don't know if it was a conference rate, or if prices just drop in early November. I can imagine it's not a prime tourist time. But at $200 a night, it felt like a steal.
The valet parking, felt a bit like highway robbery. But I couldn't quite figure out how to park without pulling into the valet lot. Maybe that's on me. However, I find it challenging to get accustomed to Canadian directional signage.
As some other reviewer noted, the shower doors are based on the European standard. And it's true the rooms are small.
I didn't mind this at all.
As comfortable as everything was at this hotel, the chairs in the room were surprisingly awkward. And I still hate how hotels will provide a refrigerator that's jam packed with over priced things I don't want, but leave no room for refrigeration of the things I might want to keep cold during my stay.
These are small nits to be sure. I'd gladly come back and stay there again. Especially, if there's a sweet deal on the room.
Next time I would spend more time exploring the market in the lobby, because that appeared to be the source of many many culinary delights. And I regret not making it out for a cocktail in the modern lounge.
But life is full of hard choices. You can't do everything in Montreal on one trip.
