I was a little disappointed when Hotwire returned the Holiday Inn Express for my trip to Montreal. But once we got there, we were more than pleasantly surprised.
The room: Huge, clean suite. Large, eat-in kitchenette - minus a stove. We had a living room, large bedroom, and nice bathroom. Two TVs. Not fancy- it is a Holiday Inn Express afterall...
Freebies: Warm breakfast (eggs, sausage or bacon, yogurt, assorted breads cereal), Internet (not wifi, and not terribly fast)
Location: Awesome. We walked everywhere from here very easily - Chinatown, Old Montreal, Latin Quarter, Mile End, etc. The area itself wasn't particularly hopping, but it's safe and close to the action.
Parking - $18/night valet...a bit more that i wanted to pay, but not exorbitant.
All in all for $109 a night a great deal and a relaxing crash pad to enjoy the city from.
