The standard rooms are just big enough for the two queen size beds, two nightstands, a desk and a large cabinet (acting as minibar, coffee tray holder and television holder). Robes and an iron were provided in the closet. The bathroom was very clean and was filled with all the usual toiletries - nothing special, just produced-for-them shampoo, conditioner, shower/bath gel and lotion. My neighbouring colleagues found a lot of dirt in their sink but their entire bathroom was scrubbed down when the situation was made known to reception.
I would not say there was anything particularly special about the rooms themselves but the location of the hotel was amazing for a tourist, especially in winter (more on that in a bit!). I think I read somewhere that this hotel was a purpose built conference hotel and that is made apparent by the many rooms that are available for hire. There are also a gym and a pool in the basement available for all guests of the hotel.
The best part of the hotel was the amount of shopping available to you without your even leaving the warmth of the building. This is extremely important in the winter when the weather dips below zero (Celsius) and the thought of going outside makes you cringe. The building is connected in the basement levels to the underground city of Montreal, a maze of corridors underground that are mostly lined by shops. It is possible to visit many buildings, both offices and shopping centres, via the underground city and without once stepping outside. Two lifts give you access from the ground floor to the two basement levels. Level 1B brings you to the gym and pool and the underground city. Level 2B brings you to a large food court and the main train station!
Booking and more information can be found on their website.
