Hotel Le Cantlie Suites
The room was spotless. I’ll say the property overall has a bit of a dated feel but for our purposes, it was perfect. A 3 minute walk to the Metro, an 8 minute walk to all the shopping on Sainte-Catherine and a 1 minute walk to a great coffee shop around the corner meant we made the most of our time ...

Chateau Versailles
Room was clean. Reception area needed cleaning/updating. Staff were friendly and helpful. Valet service was good, too bad we did not know ahead of time about this cost. Continental breakfast was not the best but was included.
