Not the best hotel, but by far not the worst. Awesome location, close to just about anything you… Read more »
We just stayed here for four nights. Sadly, they no longer have a pool on the roof. If you check out the Trip Advisor reviews, you'll find that some of them mention the smell of mold in some rooms, and other reviews are absolutely stellar. Unfortunately, we got a really odd smelling room on the 21st floor (2107, I think). And we had to yank really hard on the door to get it to close.
My BF brought this up to the front desk, and they said they'd look into it, which reads, "we'll do nothing". We wanted to have some people over but the room just smelled too damn weird and so that never happened. The issues weren't dealt with at all, and that makes me sad, because Marriotts are usually pretty good. At least the free breakfast was okay. Having free coffee and tea and breakfast is a nice way for cash-strapped travelers to save some money.
This is pretty standard for a Residence Inn if you've ever stayed at one but this tends towards the jankier end of the sample of residence inns I have stayed at. I was here for the 2010 Canadian Gran Prix and the price was about $500 USD a night (yikes!) but was about the best I could find for location during the event. Parking was another $25 a day :-( .The staff were very nice and helpful. The location is pretty close to nice nightlife locations and closer to the subway entrance. The rooms are slightly dated and could use a refresh. Our windows were sealed so we couldn't really get any fresh air in the room so it was either stuffy or super cold as made by the A/C. The free breakfast is a nice perk of the chain but nothing gourmet but still lots of options and yummy. I would stay here again especially if you are budget conscious.

This was absolutely one of the best hotels I've stayed at. Top notch service and smacked in the center of Downtown Montreal on rue Peel and rue Sherbrooke where the metro is right around the corner.
Our 433 sq. ft. studio included a king bed, cable TV, desk, mirror closet, full kitchen with a working refrigerator; toaster; microwave; electric stove top; dishwasher; all the necessary kitchen appliances, pet-friendly, complimentary coffee & tea, phone calls, daily newspaper, and best of all, COMPLIMENTARY buffet breakfast!
They actually have a wide variety of selections which include: waffles, breakfast tacos, yogurt, cereal, fruits, toast and bagels. Drinks include: coffee, tea, orange and cranberry juice.

Since this was a while back, I'm not sure how much our nightly rate went for, but we got the hotel+flight package. I just remember it being a good, package deal. It's probably more now.

=1 wacky weekend at a great hotel
Well the math doesn't work, but the hotel was great.
And though the city is beautiful and the times can be fun, we both got sick for a day with a stomach thing and ended up with opportunity to enjoy the room more than expected. I got the room for $78 a night on http://priceline.com for which I was very proud of myself as they were charging I think $289 at the time.
The room was ready when we arrived. Two beds as requested with comfortable sheets and decent beds. Big tv, full kitchen with necessary wares, nice shower and controllable a/c. Free newspaper. There's an indoor pool and roofdeck - neither are very big, but neither is the hotel, so it works fine. The free breakfast is pretty darn great for a free breakfast. I l-o-v-e-d the make your own waffle set up, and their tasty potatoes are key. Not at all gross scrambled eggs too! Though I'll admit the coffee kinda sucked, they make up for it with the free snack and coffee available in the breakfast room all day.
No room service, but they have a menu book in the room with tons of options for delivery.
The one reason I'd think about going somewhere else next time is that the location is smack dab in the middle of downtown and I'd prefer to be more east and north of this part of the city. Lots of high end shopping here, but I think St. Denis is more my style.
Passable, but didn't appreciate having the back employee service entrance as the only way into the hotel. (I guess some unfortunate person died from a slab of concrete falling on them in the front entrance).
Pros: location, and pretty decent breakfast
Cons: Breakfast room way to small to accomodate the amount of guest they have. ( the german tourist didn't understand the concept of waiting their turn). Felt like an employee walkin thru service corridor everyday.
