The rate was likely too expensive for what you get (then again, it is the cheapest hotel near downtown Montreal, so you can take what you get). Staff were alright (kept to themselves, helped when asked, neither friendly nor rude). The room itself was clean enough for a comfortable stay (and the shower had hot water, which is great), but otherwise the hotel is in a worn condition (stained carpets, wall chips, etc). Depending on who you are and what you want, the location is perfect (on a very lively and loud street; not recommended for families with young children or for anyone who is uncomfortable seeing/being near homeless people). I would stay here again for one or two nights if I intended to enjoy the lively street (but if I had more money, I’d maybe pick something a bit more upscale for the sake of comfort). As the title indicates, this place is doable.
