Review from Katherine W.
Montréal, QC
8/6/2011 2 Check-ins Here
We stayed here for a night in May, and it was a pretty nice place. I've never stayed in a bed and breakfast before, and so part of the experience was just doing that for the first time. I'm going to break the review down into two parts to talk about what I didn't like and what I liked.
What I didn't like:
The "cot" they put in the room. We got a room with one bed but asked for a cot, which they assured us would not be a problem. Upon arriving, however, we discovered that the "cot" was actually a mattress pad (the kind you buy to make your lousy dorm mattress tolerable) on the floor. That wasn't very fun to sleep on.
The uneven floors. It's lovely that the place has charm, and I really liked the feel of the room. At the same time, I don't want to kill myself getting up in the middle of the night because there are three dips and a lip between my spot on the floor and the toilet.
Lastly, I've never seen a kitchen that was so small that you literally (and I mean literally) can't turn around in it. If you wanted to cook in there, I have no idea how you would manage unless you were also an acrobat.
What I liked:
The breakfast was nice, and I saw people chit-chatting with strangers, so that's cool if that's up your alley. It's not homemade. She heats up bagels and pastries and the like that've been purchased and frozen, but I'm not a snob about breakfast and so this was really nice for me. Warm croissants, even ones from Costco, are fine by me.
Air conditioning like nobody's business in your room, and pretty good TV (we were there during the Stanley Cup finals, otherwise this would not have been something that concerned us).
They let us leave our bags there because we arrived early, so we didn't have to schlep them across the city.
I think that the room would have been perfect had we been a couple or a single person. And had neither of us needed to get up at night to use the washroom and stub toes and trip on the way. -

Don't bother with this place. The people that work here don't take their jobs seriously and are not very welcoming. (If you want details check out my review on TripAdvisor.)
The only good thing was that the rooms were clean. -

I recently stayed in the brick room and found it to be a great experience. The room was spacious, and clean, as was the bathroom and kitchenette. The bed was really comfortable! Made it hard to get up in the morning.
The owners were very cool and helpful with advice on where to go.
The morning continental breakfast was very good as well (though we decided to eat in our room).
It's located within walking distance of lots of great places to eat and drink as well.
Make sure you ask for the $5 a day parking pass.
