Dollard-des-Ormeaux Vacations from $593

The hotel’s location is very convenient and easily accessible to nearby subway stations, which made getting around the city simple. However, our check-in experience could have been better. When we entered the room, it was not yet ready—the sheets were not fitted, garbage had not been taken out, and the bathroom towels were left on the floor. We informed the receptionist and were asked to wait about 30 minutes for housekeeping to prepare the room. Breakfast was okay, though fairly average and could benefit from more variety or quality. Overall, the stay was decent, but improving room readiness at check-in would greatly enhance the guest experience.

This is an apartment in a standard old 3 story Montreal building. Very representative of typical downtown Montreal living. But beware - these places have little or no soundproofing. You will hear every footstep of the people above you, and the voices next door. This was OK for much of our stay but we were unlucky the first night, when people upstairs, including children, were walking and running almost continually until 1am, preventing sleep. But the other nights were not so bad. There is a lot of space, a good kitchen, and a bus stop to central Montreal right outside. And it is in an area with many nice cafes, restaurants, and tiny unique shops.
