Recently stayed at the Marriott Residence Inn located in downtown Montreal for 3 nights/4 days over the Formula 1 Grand Prix weekend. I selected this hotel as a last resort as our favorite hotels were quickly booked due to the race. I wasn't looking forward to it as I grown accustomed to our usual places. I was pleasantly surprised by the place. Well run, efficient and friendly. We had a studio unit with a king bed over looking Peel St. There was a small kitchen with all the appliances you'd need...fridge, oven, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker etc.
They have a free breakfast buffet too. Location was ideal...right in the heart of where all the race related action is as well as the restaurant/shopping places. My only complaint has to do with $$$. They jack up the daily rates from ~ $149 per night to $449 per night!!! I understand that this is due to supply and demand for the race but it seemed like gouging to me. We'd stay again if our other options were not available.

We recently went to Montreal and stayed at the Montreal Residence Inn Downtown for two nights and then at the Hyatt Regency for one night. At the end of our trip, we definitely favored the Marriott over the Hyatt.

With regards to the room, breakfast buffet, and staff, the Marriott Residence Inn in downtown Montreal is like any other Residence Inn. The staff was helpful, the room was clean, and the kitchen served its purpose. However, there were some great points about the hotel. We did get a large walk-in closet in our room, which was a first for me at any hotel room and a welcomed surprise. We also discovered that you can get great views of Montreal on the terrace. The Peel Metro station is only around the corner, and the neighborhood was just right. There are restaurants and shops within walking distance of the hotel.

If I am ever in Montreal again, I will definitely consider staying at this hotel again.

I had a two day meeting in Montreal and had used TripAdvisor to narrow down my choices. The Residence Inn Marriott Downtown didn't make the list due to the negative reviews and the fact that my Lonely Planet put the hotel in the wrong location, making it seem futher out of the city centre than it actually was. One of my co-workers advised that other employees stayed here when they came into town and we should use it too. Reluctantly, I agreed and booked the Junior Suite.

My first impressions? While the furnishings are a little dated, they are comfortable and clean. While the bathroom IS a little small, it is clean and is stocked with above-average hotel amenities. The kitchen is clean, with all amenities provided.

Most importantly, no, they did not carry my bags up, but the concierge were more than helpful when I realized I forgot my toothbrush and also provided excellent eating advice, clear directions to a SAQ (2 blocks down, one block to the right). In addition, they do have trollies available to get your backs up the stairs. (They could definitely stand to gain a doorman or an automatic door). Housekeeping did an excellent job and the sheets were always clean and crisp.

I will definitely be returning.

I stayed in this hotel with my girlfriend for 4 days and we had a great time.
The hotel was very clean and the staff was very nice and helpful whenever we needed. The room was quite big and very comfortable, with high speed internet access, cable TV, air conditioning and even had a full kitchen which we ended up using to cook dinner one night.
They also offer a delicious breakfest buffet and on some week days they have a sort of a "happy hour" with snacks in the late afternoon/early evening (everything included in the price).
Another good thing is the hotel location, it's a 5 minute walk to the Atwater subway station.
When we booked this hotel we thought the price was very good for the time (August) and for the services they provide, so I'd definitely recommend this hotel!
