Description: Marriott’s SpringHill Suites Old Montréal offers modern, affordable accommodations in the middle of the historic Vieux-Montréal. Like all other SpringHill Suites hotels, this location offers spacious "mini-suites" that feature a sitting area with sofa, armchair, and coffee table, separated from the sleeping area by a half-wall. All suites also include a wet bar with microwave and refrigerator, handy for keeping beverages, snacks, and restaurant leftovers in your room; complimentary wired high-speed Internet access; and a large desk and work area. Larger, "deluxe" suites also include a dining table and chairs. All room rates also include a complimentary buffet breakfast, featuring hot and cold items, located on the mezzanine level, overlooking the attractive lobby area. One of the city’s oldest restaurants, Auberge Le Saint-Gabriel, is adjacent to the hotel and accessible via a passageway from the hotel lobby. A very limited room service menu is available during dinner hours five nights a week. And it’s hard to beat the hotel’s location on Rue Saint-Jean-Baptiste, which is just off Rue Saint-Paul, Montréal’s oldest street, and home to numerous restaurants and shops. The stunning Notre-Dame Basilica, and sidewalk cafés and street performers at Place Jacques-Cartier are both about three blocks away. Two Metro stations, Champ de Mars and Place d’Armes, are about a 10 minute walk away.
My friend and I selected the SpringHill Suites due to its location in the city’s most historic sector and its affordable rates. For our three night stay, we paid two rates – the first night was approximately $125 CAD ($109 USD at time of trip) for a standard suite. For the next two nights, we stayed in a larger, deluxe suite for $155 CAD ($135 USD). These rates were about $50 cheaper than those available at other North American chain hotels (Hilton, Marriott, W) in Montréal for the same weekend, and unlike some of the other hotels we considered, the SpringHill Suites was the only one located in Vieux-Montréal. Our choice could not have been better, as we were just steps away from some of the city’s most historic sites, best restaurants, and unique shops. This SpringHill Suites is very new, and compared to other SpringHill locations I’ve stayed in, this was the nicest, with upgraded furnishings and linens that were on par with nicer, more expensive hotels. The comfortable beds feature Marriott’s new bedding package, with higher thread-count sheets, soft blankets, and plush duvets that are laundered between guests. The hotel’s staff is mostly bilingual, and was quite friendly throughout our stay, greeting my friend and me by name several times as we passed through the lobby on our way to and from our ventures out into the city.
When planning future trips to Montréal, I would definitely consider staying at the Marriot SpringHill Suites Old Montréal again. The hotel offers very comfortable accommodations at reasonable rates that are, in my opinion, a very good value for the amenities offered and location of the hotel.
