15 reviews for Hotel Omni Mont-Royal
All Reviews
The rooms were somewhat old-fashioned, and the hotel's front desk was very, very friendly. Reasonable over night parking.
The printer wasnt working for my meeting, and the front desk comp'd printing all my necessary documents. That was a nice touch.
Stroll down St. Catherines (right down the street), and also, if necessary, have a beer down at Peel Pub -- my old College haunt.
Prime location, gorgeous view, excellent room, and the service gets four thumbs up. Not to mention the deal we got on the price! If you're staying in Montréal, stay at the Omni.
Beware the self-serve parking garage. It is run separately from the hotel. Someone hit-and-ran our car while it was parked overnight and the parking attendant just gave us a shrug and an "I don't know." There are no cameras down there. Fortunately the security from the hotel helped us file a police report! (Hence the four thumbs up).
I thought this was a great hotel. The location is perfect for out-of-towners and those making their first visit to Montreal: SO close to good shopping, the sights (I walked to Old Montreal even on a 10 degree [Farenheit] day--about 25 min, and it's right at the base of Mont Royal), and a ton of really great restaurants. The only negative on the location note is that it is located "downtown" and for people like my boyfriend and I who like to explore more "artsy" parts of town, it is a sure cab ride to that area; that said, we were only in town for a few days and neither of us had been to Montreal, so this location served our needs perfectly.
Also, the staff here was really friendly and helpful. I feel like every couple of hours I was down in the lobby asking, "Where is this?" or "Which is the best way to see that?" or "Where should we eat?", and got responses from several different employees, and they were always polite and spot-on with their recommendations.
The Omni also has a little gym with great amenities (nice locker room, sauna, weights, jacuzzi) that is nice to have when it's soooo cold out and you don't want to throw off your workout routine!
The only ever so slight issue I could foresee others having is that the upholstery is a little dated (but in a classic hotel way, not 70's yellow way). But, our premium room on the 29th floor with a view of Mont Royal was beautiful and perfect for us. :) If ultra-sleek and modern is what you're looking for in your stay, then you should probably consider looking elsewhere, but we had a very nice stay here!
Great location in the center of all the city. Pretty good rooms but the last time I stayed there the suite needed some updating. Good price for a downtown suite.
I recently stayed at the Omni Mont Royal because I got a good price on a room during the winter non-peak season in Montreal. The room was clean and well kept but the tub had an issue with draining slowly. This issue was quickly fixed within a day (they came in sometime while I was gone). Housekeeping did a good job but would call the room (and occasionally knock) if I opted to sleep in and hang the "Privacy" hanger on the door to see if I needed anything. A nice gesture but kind of odd...
In terms of amenities the gym is open 24/7 by key card but the whirl pool is not open after 7 PM. Also, they claim WiFi is $9.95/night but you have the option of joining the Select Guest program (free) and receive free internet access...seems like a no brainer to me.
Lastly, location is good - it's close to the Peel station on the green line and within walking distance to nightlife @ Crescent Street & Sainte Catherine Ouest. The nearby restaurants however are relatively expensive and not as highly regarded in the Yelp community as I found out through my research.
We had issues from the start at the Omni Hotel. Because we book through Orbitz, not the hotel website, we were not guaranteed 2 beds like we had wanted. We had kill 3 hours while they got a room together. No big deal, I understand now that is the risk you take by booking through a 3rd party.
When we got to the room couple more issues:
The toilet ran for 15 minutes after you flush it.
The mini fridge was broken. We found this out after we had placed all of our stuff in it and unpacked.
The AC was very slow to kick it. It was in the high 80's that weekend. It took about 6 hours to get the room to cool down to a decent level.
The ice machine on our floor was broken (level 21). Sucks when the fridge is broken.
Good things about the hotel:
Parking, easy in, easy out at $15 / day right at the hotel.
Location, location, location. Easy, safe walking distance to all Montreal has to offer.
Very large bathrooms and closets.
Bad things about the hotel:
No free breakfast
No couch in the room.
No vending machines (I didn't see any at least)
Very dated furniture and carpets.
Small TV.
wifi was $15 / day (I was unable to pick up any local networks either)
I never tried the hotel restaurant. The menu looked over priced compared to the local restaurants. Breakfast started at $15. Dinners looked around $35+.
I probably won't stay here again unless I get a really good price. The Marriott next door has more to offer (free wifi, breakfast, kitchenette, couch) at only a slightly higher price.
One of my wife's vendors booked the room for us so I was a little doubtful. We have an Omni in San Diego next to the ballpark and it is awesome but I still had my reservations.
So you know that first 30 seconds when you walk in a hotel room for the first time...
First look = check
Smell = check
Clean carpet = check
Bathroom = check
Bed = check
Whew...
OK, time to break out the laptop and check out the area...
Food = walkable
Bars/Lounges = walkable/cab
Clubs = cab
Shopping = check
This is a great hotel (for the price) with a weekends worth of things to do within walking distance. 4 Stars
I spent my honeymoon at the Omni and I did not want to leave. The room was amazing and the price was even better!!! The king sized bed was wicked comfortable and the room was friggin' huge!!! Our view was gorgeous, they give you complimentary robes, real glasses in the types of sifters, wine, juice and coffee mugs. No styrofoam mess here! They have a pool, a sauna, and a hot tub as well as a gym and spa. Can you tell I usually slum it or stay with friends?
My four instead of five rating is due to the fact that the staff might be a little too eager to clean and serve. Make sure you put your inside lock on the door even if you place the do not disturb sign on your outer door. A few times we heard a light knocking and then the door just pushed open. D'oh, maybe not what you want on your honeymoon!
Also, don't bother getting take-out coffee from the bar, it's the same crap burnt coffee that you get in your room and they charge you $3 for a small cup. No good. Go across the street and get a cappuccino and a croissant. It's worth the extra 100 foot walk.
My husband and I loved our stay at the Omni. It was centrally located and we had a great view of Mont Royal from our window. We found it clean and well attended. The staff was all very friendly and helpful. It's right near the Peel Metro stop and was within walking distance from a lot of the exciting parts of the city. It wasn't the most luxe hotel I've been to, but was sufficient for our needs and very reasonably priced.
The rooftop pool was a real win, with an indoor sauna and hot tub that connected to an outdoor pool with views of the city. I would definitely recommend a stay here if you are looking for a good deal in Montreal.
Really great experience staying at this hotel. We got a suite size room, even though we booked a regular one. The room was huge with a view of the rooftop pool. Sweet!
Two things I look for in a hotel: clean room and comfortable bed. The others do not matter to me. I am not going to live there, I am just visiting. Give me a clean room where I can fall asleep quickly and I am a happy man.
We stayed here for 4 days/ 3 nights. Excellent location, close to Mount Royal. The bar downstairs was nice and room service was prompt. It is close to public transit, downtown, and all the trendy stores.
The rooftop pool is amazing...and they offer you cucumber and lemon water to quench your thirst.
Great location! You can walk just about anywhere from the hotel. The underground city is just round the block. The rooms were clean and comfortable. There is a small gym on the 3rd floor opened to guests. It gets crowded in the morning as it is also a "health club" opened to members (public). There is a small jacuzzi and a pool. You can get into the jacuzzi from the pool through an indoor link. Ultra cool! We could not make out if the bar/cafe downstairs offered free drinks and tapas in the evenings for guests at the hotel (the sign in the elevators were not very clear) and we never really made it back to the hotel on time to try.
Oooi breakfast is not included but if you are "cheap" you can always go down for a quick breakfast of coffee/tea, juice, muffins and fruit at the gym. There are also fruit offerings in the reception area downstairs.
Would recommend this hotel.
Yes - another online deal was had at this Omni. The check-in desk was courteous and welcoming. We got a room on the seventh floor and the view was overlooking their pool. Not much of a view, but the room was great! Comfortable bed, clean bathroom and a couch made our stay here very nice. Plus, the location was very convenience for us.
I was a guest here for a conference back in Oct '06. The front desk staff were very nice, and my room was above average. Close to shopping and the underground. Stay here, you wont be disapponted.
The hotel might had been 4-star 30 years ago, but everything there is so out-dated now, the amenities, decor, hotel rooms, bathrooms, and the furnitures in the room, all looked "aged." The only thing that looks a bit nicer is the front door with tons of 1000-watt lights shooting at the entrance of the hotel. Definitely not a 4-star inside like it says on Priceline.
The one nice thing is the friendly staffs. They answer all my questions and was very helpful recommending restaurants and places to visit.
But for the price of a 4-star hotel, which this hotel is not, is somewhat not worth it.
Awesome location! Just as the person before me described, you can walk ANYWHERE from this location in downtown Montreal. Our hotel room was very clean, and while not the nicest, was a very good deal and we received a lot more for our money compared to going to Vegas for the same rate. Montreal in the summertime is beautiful! It's an awesome haven to escape to..especially from Southern California and this hotel provided us a very good stay for the four days we spent there.
