I recently went to Montreal to audition for McGill's music program and for the sake of convenience, I decided to go with Best Western Ville Marie. Thinking I'd only be there for one night, I didn't specifically have much expectation. However, on the contrary. This hotel is situated directly downtown Montreal, right next to the University campus itself! The location is perfect, as there are many different restaurants all around, everything is within walking distance and there is a train station very close by.
Not only is the location spot on, but the staff as well. Compared to many large cities, this hotel's staff is very focussed and trying to give their guests the most comfortable stay possible. They are very friendly and incredibly helpful, whether you're looking for a nice restaurant, asking directions or just plain looking for someone to talk to! I got to meet a valet named Mike. He was extremely helpful and even took some time to converse!
All in all, the stay was pleasant and I encourage everyone to stay a this hotel!!
