We just came back from a week-long vacation in Montreal. The overall experience was just great! The food, jazz festival, weather, etc. could not be any better. Same goes for the hotel. Check-in took not more then 5 minutes plus they have upgrated us from 1Br to 2Br with no extra charge! We didn't even have to ask! We had a large vehicle, so our parking was across the street. At all times we felt very safe and comfortable. Breakfast was pretty decent and if you didn't want to eat in the breakfast room on the 1st floor you could take it to your room with no questions asked. Our kids used the pool every day of our stay there. Pool was very clean, water warm, and always plenty of towels available. I would definitely stay there again!

Am staying at the hotel now with my family. The rooms are clean, and in great condition. Overall, I think it is a great place to stay; in fact, I moved from another hotel to stay here. Here are the pluses and minuses, in my opinion. Pluses * Good location (close to restaurants and fun things) * Pool * Very nice, tastefully appointed rooms - big and recently refurnished * Staff is super nice * On-site parking that you do yourself, so you don't have to keep on tipping some valet or wait for your car * They don't charge for local calls (but do for 800 numbers) * High speed internet (but not wireless) * Balconies * Squeaky clean and nice smelling everywhere I've looked Minuses * lots of construction going on and is quite a bumpy ride to access their parking garage * "exercise room" consists of 2 or 3 treadmill machines next to the sun-drenched pool, with no tv or anything. Needless to say, it gets very steamy with the sun and the pool heat, at least in summer. * breakfast is all foods from the supermarket, e.g. kind of stale croissants, cereals, yogurt with lots of sugar and fruit. If you are looking for food, rather than food products, this breakfast is not the best. * Building is under-elevatored (i.e. you have to wait a long time at times) but so is every hotel I have visited here in Montreal. * No ramp up to building, so if you are in a wheelchair or have a stroller (we have a stroller), it is hard to get in. This is apparently true of all of Montreal though; they barely have curb cuts here - forget about ramps. Who knew the US could be more progressive than Canada! * No dishwasher in our room, don't know about others...

I booked this hotel to coincide with a trip to the Montreal Jazz Festival this past weekend, and my friend and I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay! We were within 5 minutes walking distance of the festival, so the location was ideal. Even if you aren't going to the festival, it's right in the middle of downtown, and we were close enough to walk to the park, the Latin Quarter, the old town, and to some of the coolest streets in the city. The hotel served a good continental breakfast- cereal, fresh fruit, juice, toast, bagels, etc. We stayed in the basic room with one bed, and the best part was definitely the small kitchen area. It had a refrigerator, stove, microwave, and also included bowls and plates and cutlery. There is a grocery nearby, and we went there one night to make our own dinner. The front desk staff were very helpful when we asked about side trips from Montreal, and they even called a few places for us that we wanted to visit. We had a balcony room, which was a nice surprise. The only drawback, and it's a minor one, is that there is a single computer available for use, so you might be waiting depending on if there's a line. We had rented a car, and they gave us daily parking tickets to park at a nice hotel garage across the street. It cost $18 a day, and we could come and go as we pleased with no additional cost. I would stay again at this hotel if I went back to Montreal! If you book it, check out the visit Canada website (or tourism Canada, I can't remember the exact site) for a discount. Ours was called 'Sweet Deal' and we received the 4th night half price, and they also gave us a welcome bag of Montreal maple syrup products on our arrival.

I stayed at L'Appartement from Oct. 17th to Oct. 23rd in one of their studio suites. For $133 per night plus tax, I was able to get a clean, comfortable suite in a good location in downtown Montreal. In addition to the usual things one would expect from a hotel suite, the studio suite included a kitchen and free in-room Internet access for those with a laptop computer. Network cords are available from the front desk if needed. Other facilities available in the hotel include an infrequently used pool on the top floor with views of the city, several exercise machines and a sauna. On the main floor, guests can also avail themselves of both a buffet-style continental breakfast (M-F 6:30-9:30, weekends 7:00-10:00) and a one-computer business centre at no extra charge. Service was consistently polite. The McGill Metro station, McGill University, Parc du Mont-Royal, Place Ville-Marie, the stores on Rue Ste.-Catherine and the McCord Museum are all within a brief walk. A Provigo supermarket is just down the street and around the corner on Avenue du Parc if you need groceries. The L'Aerobus shuttle stops here, and other tourist shuttles either stop here or at one of the three neighbouring hotels. The only negatives were that the walls were a bit thin, and my swimsuit still smelled strongly of chlorine even after rinsing. But those are just minor things. Overall, it was a pleasant stay.

Had a very pleasant stay at this hotel for four nights. No, it's not a luxury hotel at all, but of course the price indicates that. What you get here is a clean suite, a balcony, the option of parking, continental breakfast, free internet and convenience when it comes to the metro and downtown attractions. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Internet service was reliable. The room was clean. LOVED having a well stocked kitchen if only for the convenience to pick up a few snacks at the supermarket (which is just down the street). The location was perfect. 5 minute walk to two metros. Easy walk to the shops on Ste Catherine. Nice walk to restaurants on St Laurent. Comfortable walk (minus the hills!) to Mont Royal. Even walked back to the hotel from the Old Montreal one evening. The one downside was the continental breakfast. Montreal is known for great bagels and croissants, why serve regular old supermarket bagels when you have access to Fairmount and St. Viateur? Croissants were equally unappealing. Juice is obviously from concentrate or juice crystals. The breakfast works if you like a mediocre carb fest in the morning. Would stay there again in a flash. Check the montreal tourism board website for any special promotions. That's what we did and got an even better deal!
