"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.\n\nI 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.\n\nWhat I really liked about the Hyatt:\n1) A parking garage attached - for the MTL winters this is crucial. It was $20 for 24 hours.\n2) So friendly. The concierge was a delight.\n3) 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.\n4) The room was nice and bed comfy.\n\nWhat I really didn't like about the Hyatt:\n1) The bathroom was that of a Motel 6. Dark, a bit dingy, small and cramped.\n2) The room itself was dark.\n3) Pretty generic feeling.\n4) The alarm went off at 6AM. That should be on the checklist for all maids: turn off the alarm.\n\nI'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."^^ . .
