I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were basic but suited our needs perfectly for a couple of days exploring the city. The service was friendly and accommodating, while the location was ideal for attending a conference in Downtown Montreal. The building has history, and the dining options were good value for money. The hotel facilities were sufficient for our stay.

The hotel is conveniently located within easy reach of the metro-line and buses, making it a handy spot for exploring Montreal. The rooms are simple but big enough and come furnished with nice desks and drawers, offering a functional place to stay. The service was a mix of friendly and helpful staff with one slightly challenging encounter. The dining options were satisfactory but could use some improvement. Overall, it's a nice and functional place to work and enjoy the vibrant Saint Catharine nightlife.

The hotel offers a simple yet adequate stay with nice furniture in the rooms, but the noise outside can disturb sleep. The staff are friendly and helpful, though interactions can feel routine. The location is downtown, close to metro and dining options. The dining experience is historical with pricing included in the stay. Overall, a good value for a basic stay.

My stay at the hotel was a budget-friendly option where I found everything I needed for a simple sleepover. The room quality was relatively good for the price paid, but unfortunately, housekeeping services were not done for the entire week, which was a downside. The service received was courteous, but it seemed the staff might not have been trained for the service industry. The hotel's prime location near the metro station and downtown Montreal was excellent, making it very convenient for transportation. Despite the lack of proper service training, I appreciated the supportive staff throughout the building. The dining experience offered fried fish at a reasonable price, but it would have been better if the cost was included in the total price upfront. The hotel's history added a unique touch to the overall experience.
