Sheraton: Sheraton Le Centre Sheraton Montreal Review

This was my first time staying at a Sheraton hotel and I have to say I really enjoyed. As for "hotel" beds it was probably the most comfortable I had ever experienced. You really sung down deep into the bed.

The room I had wasn't the biggest but it had a nice view of Mount Royal and the downtown area on the 35th floor. There are some floors were you get a free continental breakfast each morning on the 37th floor and h'ordour in the evening. You do have to pay extra for internet in the rooms.

The business centre downstrairs works very well and is excellent for printing stuff. The bar and restuarant on the main level are both great. The conceirge gives good advice on places to eat but one of the best things about this place is the location.

It is right next to Montreal's finest steakhouse, the Bell Centre and the coor of downtown. If you stay here you won't need a car or a taxi even. It is a great location.

There is a pool and excercise equipment and all that good stuff as well but I didn't get to use during this trip.

Novotel Montreal: Great Location - Novotel Novotel Montreal Centre Review

I provided the web site if you want all the details on the Novotel but I have to say I really enjoyed my stay with the place and was very impressed with everything.

Rooms
The rooms where all well designed and had a swanky look and feel to them. There was even some interpretation of the design from hotel management. The king size bed was very comfortable as well. Be warned about the "smart" fridges. If you move anything in the fridge you get charged. It doesn't matter if you put it back or not. The fridge is conveniently no that "smart".

L'O Restaurant
The buffet was awesome. At $15.50 it was a little higher than average but the quality of the food is very obvious. It's not your typical hotel buffet. I really enjoyed the crepes. The decor of the place was cool too with large screens of fish. It created a nice atmosphere. I noticed in the evenings it was changed to a fire.

Location
This place is perfectly located if you are planning on going to a hockey game. It is literally between 4 and 5 minutes to the Bell Centre. So very very convenient. Especially once you see the traffic congestion at a hockey game! It is also perfectly located if you are heading to one of Montreal's famous nightlife area's; Crescent Street. Crescent was less than 10 minutes away.

Other
I learnt as well if you don't already have hockey tickets. The front desk can arrange them for you. They have a number of some place and they have have them dropped off at the hotel. I ended up going to a scalper after but I thought that was great.

Holiday Inn: Holiday Inn - Sherbrooke Street Holiday Inn - Montreal (Midtown) Review

On another trip to through Montreal I stayed at the Holiday Inn on Sherbrooke street.

I have to say this was a very nice hotel and at $140 CDN or so a night was one of the cheaper ones downtown but I had a great room on the corner with great views of the city.

It was busy there with a nice restaurant.

Unique Qualities: What is important about this hotel though is it is just one street up from St. Catherine's street so you are right dowtown and it makes for a great location to explore Montreal.

There is also an indoor pool, whirlpool, sauna, restaurant & bar, massage service, same-day dry cleaning, boutique, indoor valet parking, exercise room and beauty salon.

Address: 420 SHERBROOKE W. HWY 2
