I was quick off the train. This hotel very convenient and filled my immediate need perfectly. It’s the central train station area so nighttime has characters roaming about the neighborhood. The hotel is very established and secure. I would stay again based on its local convenience to everything.

The room was accommodating. I liked how close it was to the train station and it is a very easy 10 min walk to the port. downside to the room was that the bathroom smelled like smoke from the outside, almost like the window wasn't closed, but I could not adjust it. It is a bit loud, but with a white noise app I slept well. The staff was excellent and went out of their way to help us get information about the city.

Helpful staff at a convenient location and price

Staff were very friendly and helpful providing a map of where to go to eat and spoke both French and English. Room and bathroom had been recently refurbished. My only gripe was that I could not get the shower to run warm and the kettle didn't work. Managed t5o open window so I was able to stand on narrow balcony,

While this was very close to the Saint Charles train station, and the staff at the front desk was lovely, that's about all the goodness we can put into this review. The halls and rooms smelled like the inside of a barn--you know, hay and animal manure. There was only one outlet & one usb in a lamp. This is the 21st century--upgrade! There were no blankets (& I was ridiculed for asking for one) & the breakfast was...meh at best. We wouldn't return.

Didn't even check in. The parking is terrible in this area and the hotel doesn't offer anything other than "park at the train station." Parking there is divided into two sections, P2 is dedicated to rental cars. The neighborhood is seedy. We booked elsewhere after seeing that the inside was not much better than the out.
