While at Jay Peak, VT the man and I decided we didn't want to drive the 8 hours home and with us both having a holiday the next day, we decided to have a pit stop in #Montreal, one of my favorite cities.
I booked the Hyatt Regency for less than a $100 via Hotwire. Located in a very convenient neighborhood, literally in between the Old Port, Chinatown & St. Catherine, it's super central. If you're looking for a roof over your head and it's at a good price, the Hyatt is perfect. So why 3 stars? I've said this before and I'll say it again, this gal likes her luxury and especially when in a city like Montreal, I want charm and ambiance.
What I really liked about the Hyatt:
1) A parking garage attached - for the MTL winters this is crucial. It was $20 for 24 hours.
2) So friendly. The concierge was a delight.
3) The hotel lobby and bar area is pretty up to date with a hip vibe not quite there. They are definitely going for the W type look.
4) The room was nice and bed comfy.
What I really didn't like about the Hyatt:
1) The bathroom was that of a Motel 6. Dark, a bit dingy, small and cramped.
2) The room itself was dark.
3) Pretty generic feeling.
4) The alarm went off at 6AM. That should be on the checklist for all maids: turn off the alarm.
I'd definitely stay again at the Hyatt Regency if it's the cheapest option, but I'd also spend a few bucks more if I had the option to stay with a bit more luxe.
