Review from F B.

I had long-term stays at this hotel off and on for about two years. I was normally checked in for several weeks at a time, and it's the only hotel I'll stay at in Montreal.
It's not the best hotel in Montreal (I think the Sofitel gets that award, but whether you're there for a couple of nights or months it's the best bang for the buck.
The worst thing about staying at most downtown hotel there is the inability to prepare/reheat/store food in your hotel. You become dependent on eating out or ordering from the hotel before the restaurant closes. If you're lucky you may have a refrigerator to store items, but certainly no facility to prepare food. I'm not a fan of that at all. This hotels kitchen alone makes this a four star review, and then add the fact that they'll go shopping for you - what more could you want! I would leave a list of the items I needed from the store, and when I made it back to the hotel I had a fully stocked refrigerator!
The location is perfect. Right next to the Alexis-Nihon station where you can go shopping from clothes to the IGA for groceries. There you also have a metro that'll get you wherever you need to go fast. There's so much within walking distance to that hotel. I only used cabs for trips to the airport, and used my feet and monthly metro pass for everything else.
The room itself was perfect for me. A living room, bedroom, and kitchen. I didn't need much more.
I've not ever been at a hotel that I would say is the best ever, but they earn five stars because you can be totally self-sufficient there while still being taken care of by the hotel.
Cons:
Seriously can't think of any
Pros:
Ability to be self-sufficient
Location
Kitchen with food preparation, storage, and reheating options
They go grocery shopping for you!
The hotel itself is nice with great amenities
Fantastic for long or short term stays.
I've stayed at three other downtown hotels, and once I found this one it became the only place I'll stay at when I'm in the city. -

The hotel itself is pretty clean. You get a good breakfast buffet with your stay. The hotel is also pretty close to St. Catherine Street where a lot of the action is, so it's in a good location. My only 2 complaints about the hotel are:
1) The parking garage is made for tiny people in tiny cars, but that's not my complaint. My complaint is that the front desk people only ask if you need "parking" - they didn't ask what type of car you have. My best friend had to stand in front of my Honda Pilot and make sure I wasn't going to hit anything.
2) The elevator must be from the 20's because it is S-L-O-W! We were only on the 3rd floor, so we ended up taking the stairs most of the time instead of waiting 10 minutes for the elevator to come up 3 floors (no exaggeration).
So, all in all, if you're only in town for a couple days, want a centrally located hotel and don't mind taking the stairs then this is a good hotel. If you have a larger automobile and/or aren't in shape enough to walk up and down the stairs then this is NOT the hotel for you. -

Great selection of rooms when travelling with a family. I believe this was converted from what used to be an apartment building. It is in a quiet neighborhood of Westmount, but close enough to Sherbrooke so that I was able to walk to and from the Ritz Carlton for my uncles wedding.
The room we had was in the traditional style of just about any Residence Inn that you might stay in elsewhere . . . it had a full small kitchen, including a refrigerator to store some basic items. We had a two bedroom suite which was right off the elevator -- and was laid out exactly as an apartment might be (since it was at one time). It had a balcony which overlooked Mount Royal and gave a nice view of the sunset.
And of course there was the complimentary breakfast buffet which had lots to of good stuff to choose from -- and since I was travelling with family, we brought breakfast up to the suite to give us some privacy.
My only problem with this place was the parking . . . it was available on-site but was EXTREMELY tight fitting for a minivan to maneuver through (barely an inch to spare between the top of the mini van and the pipes running across the ceiling of the parking lot). Since it was a rental, I opted for the outdoor parking a few blocks away for the remainder of our stay. -

This place has a great location and fantastic amenities. The rooms are spacious and you can easily fit many people into a room for a party.
Place is usually really busy though. Breakfast on the weekends can be madness as everyone in the hotel seemed to get in line for food at once.
Park in the lot behind the hotel not at the hotel because you'll save a good deal of money. -

I've stayed here twice and both times had good experience. The room was basic, but clean, with a full small kitchen. Staff was extremely friendly & helpful. The first time, they had a full service breakfast restaurant, which was excellent. But the second time they only did a buffet type breakfast, which was fine, and easy. The indoor pool on the top floor has amazing views of the city. Hotel also has a parking garage (good for small cars). A couple blocks up from Ste. Catherine St, and close to a subway stop. Would definately stay here again.
