For the summer, this was a good deal for the location. There's limited parking however so you have to pay them to valet it. There's a good size pool on the top floor with a good view, and it's walking distance to shopping and dining all around. The rooms felt like what we paid for, as far as decor and cleanliness- not really above average or anything.

We were on the 24th floor for 3 nights (Fri-Mon) in mid Sept 2007. Paid $104.50 (room rate) + $21.52 (Taxes & service fees) = $126.06 CAD per night for 2 Queen beds plus complimentary continental breakfast.

Room was clean, spacious. Bed was comfortable. Concierge (Simon) was very helpful. You get a voucher to give to the waiter when you go for the Continental breakfast. The voucher includes gratuity so you do not have to tip at breakfast. Continental breakfast included the pastries, muffins, make-your-own-waffle, scrambled eggs, bacon, hash brown, orange juice, coffee etc.

Beware of taxi drivers gouging you (it only costs $35 flat rate to go from a downtown hotel to airport). The driver tried to overcharge us thinking we do not speak French. You do not need to know French in Montreal. Most people are bilingual, including hotel staff.

Hilton Garden Inn is being built right next to the hotel & is slated for completion next year. We stayed on a weekend so there was no construction noise going on. Ask for a room on a higher floor if you want to minimize construction noise during weekdays.

The only complaint about this hotel is that the bathroom was too small. There is enough counter space, good water pressure, but the size of the washroom was tiny. When the door is opened it covered half of the bathtub. Otherwise, it is a great hotel. There is a computer in a small room in the lobby that has free internet access for guests.

Traveler's Tip: Just around the corner is rue St. Catherine where you can hang out or shop. Nightlife in Montreal is incredible. There are countless coffee shops, one after another.

Visit St. Joseph Cathedral. Admission is by donation. This grand cathedral is located on a hill.

There's limited or almost no parking in Vieux Montreal (Old Montreal) so take a taxi. Biodome was fun. There's an animal zoo world for 4 seasons.

Book a day trip to Quebec City by Grayline Tour (800-461-1223). It's a 3 hour drive from Montreal on a big Greyhound bus. The tour guide gives a history about the city & then you have time to wander on your own. It was great.

We stayed here over Thanksgiving weekend and enjoyed our stay. The hotel is not plush...limited amenities but the rooms are comfortable and clean..no view to speak of! They have a bar/restaurant/pool and spa...all of which we were too busy enjoying Montreal to use!
The Montreal tourism website advertised a Sweet Deal with a list of participating hotels..most of which told me they could not offer me the deal since it was limited...? Finally the Marriott Courtyard was able to accomodate me! The deal gave us a discounted rate for the first night and half price for every other night...and a bag of goodies on check in! Nice pkg for a nice stay.

The Concierge was very helpful and the location is within a sshort walking distance of the Underground, McGill and restaurant row.

I booked this hotel after reading the reviews. I definitely don't agree with a lot of them. Our room was tiny and the bathroom was dirty and really small. The hotel needs major renovations. The staff were all very friendly and the location is great, but with the dollar being so weak this hotel should have been much cheaper. I would not go back or recommend it to any of my friends. For a few dollars more we could have stayed in a much nicer and cleaner hotel. Also the elevators were quite dangerous cause they closed so fast and barely gave you enough time to get on and off.
