Parque Laviolette: Tours y Actividades

Do not book this hotel. It was a complete rip-off and one of the worst experiences I have ever had. There is no elevator, the rooms are on the third floor, the bathrooms are outside the rooms and very dirty, there is no air conditioning, the bedsheets were dirty, and the place was extremely noisy.

L’endroit est spacieux mais un ménage de fond s’impose. Nous avons nettoyé le plancher et ramassé un porte poussière rempli de saleté. Nous avons nettoyé-désinfecté l’évier de la cuisine qui avait des endroits gluants. La hot de la cuisinière était graisseuse et sale, les tapis dans les chambres étaient sales, les housses de chaises de salle à manger étaient très sales, la porte du frigo était sale, de même que plusieurs recoins du loft.

The location is by far the strongest point, nearby tons of restaurants, the subway station and the downtown area. Having said this, I move now to the hotel itself: it's small which is good for me, that's convenient since I don't like too long going from my room to the street. The room is quirky: those 3 steps are funny, but can be certainly dangerous if distracted; the 2 showers in the huge bathroom are a nice feature (interesting when it comes to the full body window pointing to the bed), but the low water pressure is a big downer since 2 of their 3 modes are pretty much useless. The sink and the countertop around it is huge and comes pretty handy, I loved that (I hate it when I don't have an square inch to place my razor, for example, not the case here). The bed and pillows were comfortable and the curtains are really a blackout feature, so I slept really well without any noises coming from outside, that was great. The AC was very cold -- I tried playing around with the remote, but no luck. I didn't reach the staff for help, that's on me. The media entertainment system wasn't anything to write home about. Most of the channels are in French, which for a foreigner that only speaks its native language and English makes it difficult to find something enjoyable. Plus it doesn't support streaming, so I couldn't use my YouTube or other applications as I normally do when travelling. I overall give a 7.5 out of 10 because the price is very competitive.
