My husband and I booked a trip to Montreal, March 22-25 as we found a very inexpensive flight to Montreal and we booked this hotel through Hotwire which indicated this was a 3.5 hotel rating.

This hotel is a 2.5 at best. The room we were given was in need of renovation. The carpet was worn, the bathroom sink dripped, the heat in the room didn't work correctly. The bed wasn't comfortable and only had 2 pillows. Most 3.5 hotels have at least 4 pillows without asking for them.

The food was overpriced and we ended up walking downtown for our meals.

Being close and within walking distance to the downtown stores/restaurants was a huge plus.

If you wanted to have internet access in your room it was $13/day which I feel was on the high end for this service. However, if you timed it right, you could use one of the two computers they had in the business center for free.

When we checked out we were asked how our stay was and when I said okay I was asked why just ok. So I ended up saying we booked this hotel based on the 3.5 rating and she said we could have been upgraded to a better room (Delta room) for $20+ per night. In my opinion, if you book a 3.5 hotel the room should be a 3.5 and not have to pay additional money to get the 3.5 room. I guess this is where I probably won't book through Hotwire.

Overal I felt this hotel was average at best

My girlfriend and I stayed at this hotel for a weekend trip to Montreal.

The Pros:

Location is great, close to all the excitement downtown. Service was also excellent, we received good tourist-type advice from the hotel staff, and everyone we met in the hotel was pleasant. For $73/night, the room we had was great, on a non-smoking floor as requested. Nice pool and hot tub in the hotel, and free copy of the Saturday Globe and Mail was delivered to our hotel room.

The Cons:

Internet access in the hotel room is not free, which was disappointing. Parking at the hotel is $22.50/night, which we avoided by using 24 parking at the nearby National Archive library. However, because we couldn't pay for an entire weekend of parking at once, we got nailed with a $25 parking ticket because we were delayed in returning to the parking garage to pay for the 2nd 24-hour time period. Still cheaper than using the hotel's parking though. We also got billed $1.50 for a single local telephone call in the hotel room. Nothing comes free these days I guess ;) The only other issue we had was that our taxi driver from the hotel to take us to the biodome was very rude, but I'm not sure how closely affiliated with the hotel he was.


Overall, great place, just watch the costs for the little extras. Recommend that tourists learn somewhat of the subway system, as it's efficient and cheap, and will take you most places downtown.

Unless you can book this hotel for 89 dollars and dont mind some problems, it is better to pass on it. This hotel is several years past neeeding a renovation.. Worn and dirty carpets, drapes and bedspreads make it feel like an old hotel from the 70s or 80s. We were given a room on the 6th floor but after I complained about the condition, they moved us to the 16th. At least that room had new mattresses and the correct level of duvet and linens one would expect at a Delta. One of the worst hotels of that catagory in Montreal..

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our weekend getaway at the Delta. We have stayed at Delta Hotel in Toronto so felt comfortable booking in Montreal. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the room was clean and had a nice view of St. Catherine's Street.

The location is great especially if you are looking to walk to Chinatown, Old Montreal and St.Catherines Street. Many restaurants and stores close by.

We will definately return!
