Stayed at the hotel for new years eve with college friends, and enjoyed the stay but it was nothing special. The price was good because we traveled with a group that got a good rate, and bus transportation from Boston to Montreal included. The hotel is pretty old, slow elevator, basic bath, average rooms. A nice restuarant located in the main lobby which is great because it has a bar with decent priced drinks for a hotel bar. The serivice was good considering the hotel was full of college students there to party for new years eve. almost the entire hotel was full of students who were there to party, so dont go here on new years for a family trip, i would not recommend it. The hotels location is GREAT and is right in the heart of the city and all the best night clubs and bars. As well as very close to all the historical parts of the city of montreal. I have stayed here the past two new years and am planning on going again for NEW YEARS 2009 at the end of this year, and will stay at the lord berri again. and will enjoy my trip there again.

I have stayed at the Lord Berri twice, and I can honestly say that I have no substantive complaints. The hotel is very basic, safe, relatively clean and quiet.

However, for what you get, IMO, the price is a bit steep. You can find small hotels and B and Bs not too far away that are far better value. A couple of years ago, this place was a good deal but for the amount they are charging now, I would take my business elsewhere.

My friend and I were just at the Lord Berri for a two night stay. It's in a very convenient location (right at the start of the Gay Village, just above ChinaTown, and right next to the Latin Quarter) , and is clean and comfortable. They upgraded us (at no extra charge) to a one-bedroom suite as our requested room type wasn't available upon arrival. It was lovely, with a huge king bed, a sofa bed in the living room, two washrooms, fridge, ironing board/iron. The sofa bed was very uncomfortable (we needed two separate beds so we needed to use the sofa bed) but other than that, it was a perfect spot. The staff was friendly and polite, and with the size of the place (only 10 stories) you don't feel lost in the crowd as you would at a bigger hotel.

Being a smoker, I reserved a Smoking room, but somewhere between me, Travelocity and the Lord Berri, I got a non-Smoking room. Lucky I only had to stay there one night, because the room smelled awful! It smelled like stale sweat only muskier! Next day I was assigned a Smoking room and it had no unpleasant odors at all. In fact I thoroughly enjoyed my remaining four nights in this hotel. Room was comfortable, and quiet even though it was right above a busy street. Staff was pleasant, friendly and very helpful. Had a problem with the tv; they couldn't completely fix the problem but showed me how to manually bypass it to get the tv to work.
