Courtyard by Marriott Montreal Downtown

Front desk staff were so helpful and courteous. Elevator to/from a heated garage, steam room, hot tub with a view all were very much appreciated on a snowy January day. Spotlessly clean, which is a feat with everyone tracking in slush on their boots. Comfortable beds.

It is conveniently located in the city with access to restaurants, shops and public transit - about 10 minutes walk from the VIA rail train station. The room was spacious, had a street view and accessible. The staff were very helpful in accommodating my request for a more pleasant experience aka due to some allergies. Overall, it was a fabulous short stay with all the bells and whistles.

The room was comfortable and clean. There's a nice little coffee shop downstairs. Parking was good too, but a little tight driving downstairs so be careful in how you approach the ramp if you have a bigger car. When you drive around the back of the hotel to park, you have to drive across the courtyard to the parking garage, use your hotel card to key in and open the garage door, then drive down to little ramp to the underground parking. I had to figure that out with the help of hotel staff, so hoping to help others with that bit of info. Get your key card from the hotel first, then go and park. The hotel is near Chinatown (which is tiny btw), old Montreal and a short walk to restaurants and the subway, but please note, the hotel is a little out of the way, so not as centrally located to downtown as I expected, but still very doable.

The service at the reception desk was exceptional. It was prompt and friendly. When I inquired about extended parking, they explained that parking was available until 5 p.m. on day of departure. Even having checked-out and handing n my key card, I could still access parking. This saved me trying to find and pay for another parking spot while dining and visiting in the area.

Pretty well everything, staff top notch, from front desk to kitchen. Excellent location for public transport, shopping, historic sites. Room spotless, super bed, and very big. Getting a tub much appreciated after long, cold walks! Very good in-room amenities. Illy takeout very convenient and good food as well.
