That's it. I've been ruined for American chain hotels. The service we got at the Springhill in Old Montreal was far superior to its equivalents in the States.
The breakfast buffet (free!) was tasty and different every day, with heavenly nutella-filled croissants (and I didn't even think I liked nutella beforehand). The staff was friendly, personable, and efficient. The suite was fricking huge to be a standard (e.g., non-premium priced) suite in a tourist district of a major city.
There wasn't anything I didn't really like about the hotel. It lacked the distinctive charm that you can get in some independent hotels, and we did have to pay for parking (which is about par for the course), but it was somewhere between acceptable and aces all the way across the board. -

This is one of my favorite hotels in Montreal because of its location in Old Montreal and proximity to Chinatown. The suites are spacious, clean and equipped with kitchenette, work space and living room area with pull out couch. The staff is always welcoming and friendly. They also serve a decent breakfast buffet that is included with the room rate. The onsite, overnight valet parking is a reasonable fee at CAD$19.
You are steps away from Notre Dame Basilica, charming boutiques and cosy little restaurants in Old Montreal. Chinatown is about a 7 minute walk. Place d'Armes subway station is not too far either. 15-20 minute walk up St. Laurent to the section with the trendy restaurants and boutique shopping.
I've stayed here about 4-5 times in previous years and each time I've left very satisfied. -

This is a great location for a hotel of this nature. It is tucked away on a small, quiet street right around the corner from all the touristy spots -- including Chinatown which is within walking distance.
The lobby is beautiful and they offer a variety of room configurations which range from relatively small to very spacious. We most recently stayed in one of the more spacious rooms as we were travelling with family (read: little kids), and this gave them plenty of room to run around in. Having the kitchenette is a great addition -- especially when travelling with kids and you need to store their milk and snacks.
They have a very nice pool, jacuzzi and small exercise room with television. And the morning breakfast buffet offers a wonderful selection of food to choose from -- from fresh fruit, to cereal, yogurt, and is included with your room. There is also a nice looking restaurant on the premises which I hope to try one of these days -- it is very much in the Quebec style.
There is on-site valet parking which will cost you about $20 a day -- with in and out privileges. The hotel is also offering a package between now and April, 2009 with rates from $175-$249 CAD -- which INCLUDES a $25 / night gas gard, parking and the aforementioned full-buffet breakfast. Checkout the website for the particulars on this offering. -

Average Springhill Suites, but may be a good call if you're looking for an affordable option in Old Montreal.

Great location for walking in the old town. Horrible location for driving, so leave the car with the valet and hoof it.
Very nice staff, especially the front desk folks. We got a studio room with fold out bed since were traveling with the family. High marks for the comfy beds and the boy loved the the included breakfast. You can make your own waffles or just enjoy others attempting to make theirs (Tip: you CAN'T use too much of the spray conditioning and the beeping means you should flip it). Somewhat embarrassed by the other Americans and the lack of civility to the staff trying to help at breakfast.
Overall a great experience at this Mariott -

As we drove for the very first time on the 720 into Old Montreal, we saw the different buildings and quickly made out one that said Marriott. That's our hotel! Drive thataway!
But our GPS commanded us to take a right into a small, skinny street and assured us that "destination is ahead". Surely, Chuckie (our name for our GPS) was mistaken. But, of course, he wasn't. We drove our SUV into a one-vehicle driveway that would be the main entrance to the hotel.
This definitely wasn't the Marriott we saw in the skyline. This one was a cramped version of the usual Marriotts we've stayed in. The room we were given was cramped. They had provided us with a pack-n-play but we didn't set it up anymore as there was barely enough room for it. Maybe we just got the wrong card this time. But I do have to note that the indoor pool is really just a wading pool (maximum depth is 3'8") and don't expect you can do your laps here either.
No matter, we were comfortable and the kids were happy. Indeed, there's a free breakfast buffet in the mezzanine and free internet connection. And this hotel is in a great location! There are lots of quaint restaurants and shops within walking distance. And as Jeffrey K. and PC W. have already noted, it's close to Place d'Armes Station, Notre Dame and City Hall. Most importantly and strategically for us, it's so close to the Montreal Science Center. We have free passes and so we spent the whole weekend venturing inside. During both days, we just walked. Temps were at 7 degrees but we thought it was a piece of cake! On our last day, upon check-out, we loaded our vehicle and the hotel allowed for an extended parking till 4 pm with no extra charge. So, we were able to maximize the Science Center without having to park in their garage.
If we were to come back to Old Montreal, we would definitely consider staying here again! Au revoir! -

Location is excellent - in the middle of Old Montreal, a few blocks from China town and a few more from downtown.
Beds are fairly good - I hate hotels with beds softer than pillows. The mattresses here are firm, as they should be!
Negatives - TV is mostly in French (not many cable channels), breakfast is very limited and not good at all, internet is not wireless, room layout is awful. On this last point I must emphasize how idiotic the room layout really is. From the Bed, have to rotate the TV until it almost falls off the stand to view it. If I am working at the desk (which I must since the only ethernet input is at the desk and remember, no wifi, I can't even see the TV.
Other amenities are pretty standard. -

We booked our hotel and flight package via Travelocity and got a great deal! Loved that Springhill Suites was located right in the heart of Old Montreal and it was easy to walk around the cobblestone streets. Close to the cute restaurants and stores, and not that far from downtown either. About a 15 minute walk to Centre Bell (Canadiens hockey).
The room was decently roomy and it was nice that we had a kitchenette with a fridge and microwave. The rooms were clean, good water pressure in shower, flatscreen TV (you can rotate it to face the bed or the couch), comfortable bed (although the sheets could have been softer). Service was very friendly and accommodating. Oh, they also had a business center that offered free internet access.
The complimentary breakfast buffet each morning was great...although the hours were a bit too early for us on spring break ;-) (weekdays 6:30-9:30am). We didn't make it two out of the five mornings since we slept in too long! You can eat on the mezzanine or bring your food back to your room. Lots of choices, both hot and cold foods. There was always yogurt, pastries, breads, fresh fruit, juices. Hot foods changed each day - there was always eggs, some kind of potato and meat. And there was even a do-it-yourself waffle maker!
Overall, I would definitely recommend this hotel. It's nothing fancy by any means, but does the job for a clean and safe place to stay. Great location, great service, affordable. -

This place is an absolute hidden gem. For those looking to go to Montreal and stay at a nice hotel, for a reasonable price I highly suggest the springhill suites. Conveniently located in the heart of old montreal, you can easily visit all of the hot spots within both old and new montreal. We were conveniently able to walk everywhere we needed to go and in the event we wanted to go elsewhere, in the city, the subway is only a five minute walk. The rooms are very clean, spacious and comfortable. All of the staff that I have dealt with at the hotel are very nice and are always willing to accomodate any request that I have had. I usually go to Montreal every year for the Grand Prix and I can vouch for this hotel, as I have noticed that they are consistently reliable. Breakfast is included in the stay and offers some hot varieties such as eggs and waffles. One small issue is that the TV could add a few more English channels and HBO would also be nice. Also to update everyone, they now have a new guest internet system which supplies their guests with wireless internet.

Nice, clean hotel. Great Old Montreal location. Can walk to everything in Old Montreal area. Few blocks to subway for other attractions. Love the included internet, breakfast, etc. Would stay again!
