Booked this hotel for a three-night stay in Montreal. All in all, I was satisfied. The location of the hotel can't be beat. It's right at the entrance of Chinatown, only about a 10 min. walk in either direction to La Plateau-Mont Royal or Vieux Montreal neighborhoods, and about four blocks to the nearest Metro stop and Bixi bike dock.
The room was (we got the "Hip" room) was a little on the smallish side, but that's to be expected when you're staying in the center of a large city. Size wasn't an issue. There's a 5th floor balcony that's a nice spot for enjoying a (BYOB) drink. Croissants, fruit and coffee located in the lobby every morning. Also, a 24-hour convenience store on the 1st floor with an ATM that only charged me $1.50 to pull out Canadian Dollars.
The "Hip" room we had was equipped with flat-screen TV, sink, microwave, refrigerator (fortunately empty and not stocked with overpriced drinks and snacks), silverware, cutting board, cloth place mats, wine glasses etc., essentially any items you would need to plan a picnic (which we did) or heat a quick meal up in your room. We didn't go to any music festivals while in town, but I would think that all these items would be great to have in your room if you're spending your day outside listening to tunes.
One small gripe I had about the hotel was the decor, while it's all stylish and chic looking, it took us some getting used to the walls painted in black and exposed concrete columns in the room. However, by the end of the trip, I realized I picked the right hotel and the decor I had gotten used to. The view outside our room was great (we stayed on the 9th floor, hotel has 12 floors total).
