Looking back at the website after my stay, I cannot believe the photos are actually the same hotel. I actually checked the address carefully to make sure. The website pictures were SO misrepresentative of at least my room. I may have been given a bad room since I got a relatively decent (though not cheap) rate on their website.

I had a wall with a dent that had been poorly plastered over, the bedcover was outdated and unattractive, I had a view of the interior vents for the hotel... it was just awful. Positives: the room was large and the staff were friendly.

I'd have to call this the no-gotel. I very much regretted not staying at another of the downtown options for my conference, and would definitely not return.

I stayed here for five nights. It was one of the conference hotels for a meeting I was attending, and even at a conference rate (which is often higher than the regular rate for the same hotel, go figure) it was a much better deal than what other hotels in downtown Montreal were charging.

I had a room with two queen beds on the 8th floor, close to the elevators and to the housekeeping supply room. Surprisingly (and happily) the room was very quiet. I was a little concerned that the room faced toward rue Crescent, the notorious bar/party street, but I did not hear any noise from that direction at night.

The two main problems with the room were the lack of lighting and the erratic housekeeping. The bedside light is a dim panel light set into the wall, which made it quite difficult to read in bed at night if you weren't facing in exactly the same direction as the light. The housekeeping staff came in every day - at least, they made the bed every day - but some days it was apparent that they hadn't cleaned much in the bathroom, e.g. soap rings still in the tub and no restocked supplies. This wasn't a huge problem for me as I was the only person in the room, but it could have been really annoying in a room with multiple occupants using all the towels or soaps every day.

The staff were always very pleasant and friendly. I didn't eat in the restaurant as there are lots of alternatives nearby to suit pretty much any taste or budget.

The hotel is in a great location right off rue Sainte Catherine (major shopping street) and about five mins. walk from a Metro station. I did not feel unsafe at any time walking around the neighbourhood, as it is always very busy.

I have stayed at this hotel 4 weekends in the last year and always had a great stay. The check in staff is wonderful - friendly, bilingual (although they don't mind letting you practise your french with them!), helpful with room selection, willingness to provide suggestions and directions to different spots in Montreal.

Rooms have always been spotless and comfortable.

Great location near Bell Centre in heart of Ste Catharine shopping (about 5 min walk from Peel metro).

Standard hotel chain - clean and comfortable but the location is the best! Rates for a double room were good (probably it was because we booked it early) as we booked directly from the hotel website. There is a place for breakfast but it is more expensive than other breakfast places near the hotel. There is underground parking in the garage but you have to pay a little extra. Would definitely go back for the location and for the price!
