This hotel is not up to Novotel standards. The checkin pods create confusion and seem to take longer and when I checked in and tried to check out there was only one person working the pod. I could not wait to check out so I used the express checkout. My version is to just leave and let them sort it out. I'm sure the fiji water will end up on my bill.
The parking is 20 per day and the in and out coupon did not work for me initially.
The room was run down. The towels were so old you could see through them. The shower did not work well, no soap dish near the sink and the TV was small and had bad audio. I could barely here it over the people in the next room.
The Internet was 10 per day, and the only option for bottled water was the $5.50 Fiji water.
I hate hotels that charge for Internet especially when it's slow. I got better speeds out of my Rogers wifi hotspot and I just used that after paying for he first day. This is a big issue for a business traveler.
The room service can be delivered to your room but not dominos. I had to get downstairs to meet the pizza delivery, heck i should have just gone out to eat.
The location is by far the best part of this hotel, but next time im staying at the Sofitel.
Free high speed Internet is a must. -
Review from El Rauncho Grande G.
There are weird welcome "pods" in the lobby instead of a front desk. I found that these work well for the French Canadians who weren't any more polite about standing in line and waiting their turn than the French French, but it was a little confusing trying to figure out where to check in, who could help with the WIFI, etc.
My room had wrinkled, cheap, thin, worn indoor/outdoor carpeting and looked like the whole thing, including the bathroom, was installed, prefab, from IKEA. It did, though, offer a stunning view of dumpsters in the alley.
For no readily obvious reason, their room service is not available until 11 a.m., so if you wanted, say, breakfast, at, say, breakfast time, you are, how we say, "Merde outta luck."
The free WIFI for guests was a royal pain in the ass and only seemed to work in the lobby, and then only after many attempts to go through their frustrating login procedure. What are they afraid of, that roving bands of homeless guys with laptops will set up camp in their lobby if they just let you login without having to enter some silly-ass code? A major negative for the business traveler.
But hey, the price was right and it was close to a lot of good stuff downtown. There's a great little pub right across the street, and some nice jiggly Canadian backsides saunter by on the sidewalk in this very pedestrian city (meant as a descriptor, not a detraction) so being in the thick of the downtown action is definitely a plus.
Overall, not bad, exactly, but nowhere near as good as I would have expected (and gotten) for the same price in the U.S., eh?

Just got back from a 2 night stay at the Novotel Centre Montreal.
The hotel is located just south of Rue St. Catherine, which has tons of shops and restaurants. Just a short walk to the subway as well, if you're looking to explore Montreal further.
My room was very spacious, with a king bed and a sofa will a roll-out mattress underneath. It could have easily accommodated 4 people.
The shower temp and water pressure was GREAT!
The internet in the rooms is wired and not free, but they do offer free wifi in the lobby, as well as a mac computer that you can use to print restaurant maps or your boarding pass.
The staff was very courteous and friendly, and even asked me if there was anything I felt they could do better. Now that's dedication to hospitality! -
Review from Ken L.
Reasonably priced hotel within walking distance of retail department stores and restaurants, contrary to Rick S.'s review. The room I stayed in was spacious and could easily accommodate 4 people without the use of a rollaway bed, due to the pull-out microfiber couch. Also included in the room: programmable safe, a stocked mini bar/fridge (pay for what you consume), iron, comfy bed and a good sized desk for your laptop. The flat screen TV was only 24" screen or so and that could have been better but I didn't really watch that much TV anyway. The exercise room is on the 2nd floor; be sure to take the left elevator and choose the SS floor. Service, room and location are above average. In and out parking in their garage will cost you $20 per day so be ready for that. Reasonably priced at about $150 per night. Sufficient for my 4 night trip.

Really nice, large room. Internet access was solid. Room service was good with decent pricing. Only complaint is there's nothing within walking distance.
