Before leaving Toronto, I went online to read the reviews for this hotel and I was shocked and terrified of the amount of horror stories that people had experienced at this hotel. My boyfriend and I decided that we would wait until we got to the room and inspect it then make our decision whether we stayed for the weekend or not. We arrived late on July 11, 2008 checked into our room and discovered that they had given us a room with two twin beds when we reserved a smoking room with a queen bed. We went back to reception and they were very nice and switched our rooms immediately. We got our room on the 15th floor and immediately inspected the room for "bed bugs" or for any sign of bugs. The room was clean, kitchen was clean and no sign of bugs. Yes, I will agree the hotel is in need of major update. And definitely the hotel needs to address there "bed bug" issue, however our experience was fine. We enjoyed the convenience of the hotel being close to the Old Port. My boyfriend and I love to cook, therefore having a stove was nice when we got up in the morning. There is an IGA down the street about 2blocks. And downtown Montreal is in walking distance. I took pictures of the hotel for those rude people out there to prove that I am not lying. This is not the greatest hotel in the world, but honestly people YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. If you wanted a 5 star hotel spend the money. If you are on a budget and enjoy being close to everything go to this place. If the room is not up to your "standards" than cancel your reservation get your money back and go to a different hotel.
