Les Studios was listed as close accommodations for our week long conference at the university, but we should have busted our budget and stayed at the Terrase which is closer to most of campus and the metro anyway. To get anywhere on the metro you'll have to transfer and ride at least half an hour. Summer ventilation is horrible, even with the window open and the provided fan at full blast. I was sweating in bed all night. The floor above smelled of smoke and set my allergies off when I went up there to borrow a chair to prop open the hall door for a bit of air. The bed was a sticky plastic pad. Apparently they haven't discovered fitted sheets in Quebec yet, so I kept finding myself sleeping right on the plastic covered in sweat, needing to peel my skin off the mattress. Hopefully you don't have messy, loud neighbors. There was makeup detritus on the common bathroom sink for several days. Occasionally there were scary, soggy bits of trash in the shower, and one night the shower had overflowed leaving the nearby toilet sitting in a puddle. Go use another floors bathroom if that happens. We also had a couple neighbors get in at 4 am a couple mornings in a row, yelling to each other, which came right in under the crack in the door. In short, it's just like staying in the dorms as a student, but without the long term relationships to push for cleanliness.

Outstanding micro hotel that really did remind me of the French auberges I've stayed at. It's not…read morequite so homey -- the proprietors aren't living on-site -- so it has more in common with boutique hotels than true auberge or B&Bs, but the service was exquisite and incredibly attentive, albeit only there for a limited window in the afternoon, and that was true to the name. The 1860's building is a bit of a warren, but that added to its charm in our opinion; you'll never stay in a place quite like this one. The rooms themselves are quite up to date, and other than a few eccentricities (the toilet lid kept sliding off, and one of the wall outlets without a lamp on it turned out to be on a wall switch, so our phones didn't charge overnight!) quite comfortable. We did have a short problem with somebody blasting music so loudly it came in through our interior-room window around 11 PM, so the sound proofing could use a little help, but we otherwise didn't hear any city sounds at all. The air was not controllable; part and parcel of being in an old place. Fortunately we were visiting when the weather outside was comfortable and the air circulation was good enough that despite our inability to control the temperature, it was fine and relatively fresh. We heard not a peep from other guests at night. As noted, there are no elevators, and if Canada had a Canadians-with-Disabilities Act like the US ADA, this place would probably have to shut down; there's just no way to make a lot of the rooms here accessible and you have to go up and down the short stairs yourself with your gear (although plenty of help was offered by the staff). Parking is also, well, city parking. We found street parking on the side but the instructions about how to get a billet at the parking kiosk needed some improvement. The only fault I have with the location is it's quite a haul to the nearest metro station; otherwise it's fantastic, in the heart of Plateau Mont Royal, across from the park of the same name as the Inn, easy to get to a lot of things if you're car or bike mobile. I neglected to ask if they had a place to put bikes; if you can bring a bike, this would be a great spot for a bike-based visit to our favorite city. The breakfast is extra (included with some packages) and was a lovely classic continental, with fantastic Montréal bagels and pastries. There was also what looked like a nice selection of smoked meats / cold cuts that looked very tempting, but we keep vegetarian these days; sigh. So tasty looking. We had a fab little time in the small lobby/breakfast area, and honestly, that was the part that really was reminiscent of our younger days staying in country auberges. One small quibble idiosyncratic to us: at the management's request, we downgraded from a room with two beds to one with one to accommodate a family with younger children who needed the extra space, in exchange for one with a King bed and a rollaway for our teen. Unfortunately the rollaway was terrible and he had a terrible night's sleep, while we snoozed away blissfully on our incredibly comfortable big bed. But note I'm still posting five stars: it was that pleasant.

They have me another room that was smaller but still need on the window but the window opened. The fridge was in the closet and it was hard to get to i t without disconnecting the tv. and the door opened in the reverse side. So I had to use the main kitchen fridge. Very disappointing. I paid over $170for the room so it was ovErpriced. Typo the iteration also had bars on the window but it opened. It was not a good stay. It was awful.Typo the other room(not iteration) also had bars on the window but it opened. Excuse my disgusting Amazon tablet. Amazon does not make decent tablets. Manager was not friendly. There's central air conditioning. They control it. It was a bit too cool. It doesn't sound like much thought given to the comfort of guests. The shower had insufficient water pressure so it was a light spray plus the maid forgot to unblock the drain so the water was up around my ankles. It was gross. I had to rewash my feet and unblock the drain so the water would drain. After the manager showed me the rooms she said that's all they had. She sounded like a drill sargeant. She said that they have my card number and will take the money out to pay for the room. So she barked out take this room or the other one. As the room was booked through atravel site it would be hard to cancel for free.

We stayed here during our trip to Montreal. It's lovely. We had a fantastic stay and everyone was…read morewonderful! It was cold with a few inches of snow and we had a snow blizzard on one of the days. However, the weather was beautiful because the sun came back right after. The hotel is adjacent to another Marriott hotel, the Residence Inn. It's funny that the two hotels are connected like a square box. So we walked to our room, the last Courtyard's room on the floor. We could keep walking if we wanted, but the next room was the Residence Inn. The only difference is the outside light for each Courtyard and the Residence Inn's room. If we keep walking past our room and use the other elevator, we will take the elevator down to the lobby of the Residence Inn. OK, enough with the floor plan. This architectural speech makes me sound so smart! Only sound, don't worry, I'm not smart. My parents thought I was smart once, then I don't know what happened LOL! The room was very nice and clean. The carpet looked old but clean. The room was fully equipped with a microwave, a small fridge, and a safe. The hotel has an indoor pool that accommodates guests from the Courtyard and the Residence Inn, but it's never crowded, and almost no one uses it. Also, we had a chance to use the sauna. Avi from the Front Office was nice enough to show us how to get to the swimming pool because it was hidden on the mezzanine floor. We dined at the hotel a few times because the food was great. They had a nice avocado and eggs, steaks, wings, etc. We enjoyed the night at the lobby and talked to the staff members when they were not busy. They're so lovely. The woman at the Front Desk was very sweet, Zayeda? The coffee maker at the lobby was tricky at first. Hubby and I tried to make coffee and saw that it kept charging, but no coffee. The night manager, Michael, explained that we don't have to worry because the charges would disappear if we didn't get coffee until we pressed the last button "make my coffee." There are a lot of steps, so you may think you finish after you pay, but no, keep going. He was right lol! Who invented this crazy machine ha! We need to talk! We had a great time staying here and will stay here again if we return to Montreal. The location is great and the price is affordable. Highly Recommended!

The side walk is narrow and you will be breathing in the exhaust from all the traffic. The neighborhood seems to be redeveloping with a new condo complex and new hotels. The hotel exceeded my expectation as a Courtyard brand. The lobby is stunning with art deco furnishings. Arty, Chic and Modern. The Business Centre is functional with communal tables and 2 individual work stations with computers. The room I stayed in was quite spacious and well layout.

The room size was more than adequate and the overhead shower was heaven; we really enjoyed the bathroom setup and ease of finding light switches and outlets, and the fridge and TV helped us settle in a little more during down time and post-meal. There was a nice but slightly-obstructed courtyard view, for privacy purposes, that encouraged you to find new ways to enter the stone walking path that weaves throughout the pond and garden area. We had breakfast (not usually included) one morning and the buffet was the way to go. Valet parking and elevators directly to the tenth floor lobby made things easier than most major city hotel stays, and staff at the front desk were extremely accommodating and simplified things for a quick check-in and any needs during our stay (convenience bar has a quality variety of drinks, snacks and sandwiches). What impressed us the most was the rooftop terrace featuring a pool, two hot tubs, a sauna and bar (drinks, apps and entrees available throughout their lengthy pool hours) but also many large trees. I didn't ask about their root structure or how they vaulted them up ten floors, but it's neat and totally sets the stage for a resort-style vibe atop an iconic city highrise.

This is my second stay at this hotel, my first was just one night. This time I stayed four nights,…read morea deal through Costco that included a rental car. If I attract the cost of the rental car based on what it would have cost me to rent for the same length of time directly, the hotel stay was a screaming deal. However I sort of wonder if these customers get the rooms that are more run down because I definitely didn't feel the area of the hotel that I was in was in the best state of repair. Just walking down the hall towards the room you could see the woodwork was banged up and everything just seemed a little run down. Same thing once we got to the room. There was some discoloration in the caulk in the bathroom shower, the floor of which was a little slippery and required a towel to be laid down on the shower floor for traction. The location of the shower head in relation to the shower door resulted in water coming out onto the bathroom floor no matter how hard you try to avoid it and you could see the impact of this over time. The room had a funky smell to it and every time I was in the room my sinuses went crazy, the one night I slept with an n95. The refrigerator on my previous day wasn't very cold at all but this time it was so cold that my energy drink was slush the next morning and so I was very happy with that. The TV as far as I could see only work if you hook it to your telephone and stream your own video, or log on to YouTube as a guest. The safe is nice put your passport and other valuables and is very simple to figure out. There was a clock radio that provided a night light but unfortunately it circulated through all colors which I found kind of annoying at night. A lot of these devices have a setting where you can just choose one color and have it steady instead of circulating and messing with your sleep but there was no instructions. I had to leave it on so my traveling partner would have a night light, if that's an issue for you bring a sleep mask. We had a nice view of the garden from our room. I was walking by some other rooms when the door was open one day and I could see that they just had a view of concrete building across the street so we locked out on that. The wing of the hotel we were in and the room itself have dark carpeting and dark walls and so it can be very hard to see. Traveling with a visually impaired family member this was definitely a problem and something to keep in mind if you decide to book here. In fact there is a set of steps going down to where our room was and the lighting is poor. Even though the steps aren't steep my mom almost fell due to the poor lighting. I feel like they could easily install some lights along the edges of the step, or paint the edge of the step bright yellow. I actually told them at the front desk about this and the gentleman that I talked to indicated me that he just didn't care. It could be lack of training but I definitely didn't hear "oh I'm so sorry to hear that", or "I'll let someone know to get eyes on that" etc. Honestly! And then of course absolutely no sympathy for the funky smell in the room. I later heard from one of the staff that someone who actually fell on those steps the day before so it's not just us. The parking is a little expensive and you only get one in and out per day but if you're coming from states remember it's in Canadian dollars. We were supposed to have two free drinks from The Kube restaurant included in our package but every time we walked past that restaurant we could smell a strong fragrance and so we were not tempted to eat in the restaurant one bit. The first night walked by there we thought it was someone with perfume but it was consistent every night and then we realized it must be some sort of air freshener for the restaurant? It was just weird. Everyone else we encountered in the hotel were extremely kind and helpful, five stars for all of them! Perhaps the one person I talked to at the front desk that one evening should take lessons from the maintenance personnel, the doorman or the housekeeper.

Hotel Place d'Armes is an excellent choice for anyone looking to stay in the heart of Old Montreal…read more It combines the charm and character of historic architecture with the amenities of a modern upscale hotel, creating a property that feels far more distinctive than your typical business hotel. It can function as a business hotel (which is what I used it for), but probably excels as a "date night" or vacation hotel. One of the more interesting aspects of the hotel is its layout. The property appears to have been created by combining several historic buildings into a single hotel, which means no two sections feel exactly alike. As a result, navigating from the lobby to your room can initially feel a bit like solving a small puzzle, but it's a tradeoff that creates a number of unique common spaces, including comfortable seating areas, a billiards room, and a complimentary coffee station. The property has personality, and that's something increasingly difficult to find. My room was exceptionally spacious, modern, and tastefully appointed without feeling overly trendy. The bed (medium firm) was very comfortable--not quite top tier, but well above average. The bathroom was particularly impressive, featuring a rainfall shower with outstanding water pressure and quality bath products that felt like a noticeable step above the typical hotel offering. Some rooms also include body spray jets, adding a little extra luxury after a long day of meetings or sightseeing. Some of my colleagues rooms had a second bathroom/powder room. Service throughout the hotel was outstanding. The staff was consistently warm, professional, and attentive. During check-in, a staff member personally escorted me nearly all the way to my room to ensure I found it without difficulty. I heard later from colleagues they had a similar experience. While that's a level of attention that's admittedly a bit more than I personally need, it speaks volumes about the hotel's commitment to hospitality. There were only a few minor drawbacks during my stay. Breakfast service at the restaurant was noticeably slower than expected, particularly for business travelers trying to get an early start to the day. Additionally, the elevator serving Tower 4 could be frustratingly slow during busier periods. Pricing leans toward the higher end, but never struck me as unreasonable given the quality of the accommodations, service, and exceptional location. The surrounding neighborhood is also highly walkable, whether you're looking for restaurants in the evening or simply want to get out for a morning walk before starting your day. Insider Tip: If you're heading to Montréal-Trudeau Airport (YUL), plan to leave with more time than you think you'll need. Morning traffic leaving the city builds quickly and can add considerably to your travel time. I'd happily stay here again. If you're looking for a hotel with personality rather than chasing points or another interchangeable luxury chain, Hotel Place d'Armes is an easy recommendation. -AC
