Location a plus for Montreal weekend

Easy access to Mont Royal and the art museum. The concierge was helpful with storing our bags and directing us to available parking. There is limited paid parking at the hotel. There is a sweet little cafe in the hotel but we did not eat there. The basic room was big enough, clean, and had everything we needed except for hair conditioner in the shower (the refillable container was empty). The curtains do not close all the way and one was partially unattached. The rest of the hotel is worn and all of the carpeted common areas needed vacuuming. The biggest problem was the air conditioner unit in the bedroom dripped water all over the floor and on the TV that is wall-mounted under it. Some touch-ups and basic cleaning would go a long way to making this hotel worth the cost.

for the price I expected more

I paid $237 USD per night to stay with my family of four in Room 102. While the location is nice, the property clearly needs more attention—particularly with cleanliness. The bathroom was in poor condition and looked quite unclean, which was disappointing after a full day of travel. We had no option but to use the facilities, but I expected a much higher standard given the price. Photos attached. I rarely write reviews, but I felt compelled to share this experience to alert future guests. Management should prioritize cleanliness to meet the expectations that come with this price point.

I have stayed here several times. Generally a good experience thanks to location, staff, size of room. I understand that this is a modestly-priced travellers’ hotel, so I don’t expect luxuries. However a few improvements would be great. A.) A full set of towels, including hand towels; B.) A full-length mirror in all rooms - a trip to ikea would do it; C.) a dresser for clothes D.) MOST IMPORTANT- A full refresh of all the carpeting. First time I stayed here was in the early 1980s, and it looks like it hasn’t been changed since.

This is very convenient place if your objective is to not spend lot of money, walkable to restaurants, and places you want to explore in the city. The room is very small though.
