This is a smoke free hotel in the heart of the city. The rooms are a bit small but all right. But the service is very bad.. We checked into our room to find out it was very HOT. So called up the desk and they instead of fixing the A/C gave us another room. An overkill but we said all right and moved to the other room. Two lights weren't working which I could live with (as there were 6 lights in the room). But one of them was flickering and we wanted it changed. We stayed there for two days and they changed the light the next day. Another thing none in the front desk can suggest things to do in the city. They give u a brochure and ask u to figure it out.. Maybe the staff did not like to work on the first of July, but they should not have kept the hotel open then. Breakfast and ease of access to nearby point were the high points.. I would not stay here again.

This a great hotel and great value. The rooms are spacious with superb amenities, i.e., a computer with free internet connection, a modern inroom safe, refrigerator, a beautifully furnished bathroom with state of the art shower fixtures, comfortable beds, etc. The exterior is very modest and initially a turn off because it is tangent to a closed out and what appears to have been an amusement haunted house, complete with ghouls hanging our of windows and intentional graffiti (I think) on the walls. It is located on a fairly calm street and consequently traffic noise is not a factor. We were on the fourth floor facing the street and we couldn't hear any traffic on weekends as well as weekdays. The location is terrific and negates having a car. About 7 easy minutes walk to Old town and a myraid of resturants and shops., 3 minute walk to Chinatown, 12 - 15 minute walk to the train station, and a 5 minute walk to a Metro station. The Chinatown had a some good resturants and a particularly neat bakery which offered these warm rolls with bacon and other stuff on it - they were delicious and cost about $1.25 each. Also try their custard tarts for a $1 each. The area immediately around the hotel felt very safe to me and we (my wife and I) often walked to and from at night without feeling threatened at any time. The staff of this hotel is warm and friendly. I felf genuinely welcomed. I would definitely come back if I ever visited Montreal again and would recommend this place to anyone.

Right in the middle of Montreal downtown, a few blocks away from the Old Town, Art center, conference center, and Chinatown. Very clean, nice interior design, inexpensive. Free computer and internet in every room! Okay free continental breakfast. The room is nice but not quite spacious, which I guess is okay for a downtown hotel. Parking is $17, but you can find cheaper parking closeby. Meters are very expensive, $3 an hour, but public parking is $10 a day.

Decided to try out this somewhat unknown hotel and I was pleasantly surprised. It seems like it is pretty new as the rooms, decor, building are all in good shape. The area is right downtown and from the outside the hotel doesn't look like much. Its a smaller hotel with nine floors and about 10 rooms per floor maybe. The room was designed with a modern IKEA-like style. Not a big room, but well kept and well equipped. I was surprised to see they offered a new Dell Dimension PC, keyboard and LCD as part of the standard package, along with hi-speed internet. LCD TV, mini-fridge, safe, cordless phone, alarm clock were nice features. The bathroom was modern as well with Grohe hardware in the sink and shower, which was a funky glass enclosure. I must say the mattress and linens were just okay.. ive had softer more luxurious hotel beds for sure. The staff was friendly and flexible and let me have a 2pm checkout which was perfect to take a noon conference call from my room. Continental breakfast is also offered and parking is underground... but only 12 spots or so available. You had to use your passkey in the elevators, parking garage, etc. and I saw they had videocameras all around too for security reasons. I thought it was pretty good value for the location and would stay there again.

Can't recommend this hotel highly enough, for the huge room and the facilities. Don't be put off by the gloomy reception area and rather neutral receptionists. This is a very new hotel, and the usual modern facilities (iron and board, hair dryer, kettle, coffee, tea) are exceeded by an in-room programmable safe, plasma TV and your own computer. This last was an absolute boon. Complimentary newspapers left outside your room, and self-serve breakfast in the breakfast room offers a wide choice of options. Exercise room equipped with three machines. Good location, between 2 Metro stations and in walking distance of Chinatown and central shopping district. I stayed in 5 hotels in Canada, and this was by far the most luxurious and the best.
