This hotel is located in a busy area. The downside is parking may not be available on site - the person who checked in before us got the last spot. We were able to park in front of the hotel while checking in and checking out,but needed to park down the road in UQAM parking. It was less than a 5 minute walk, but I can see that being troublesome for some folks. The staff were pleasant to deal with. I appreciated the coffee in the lobby 24/7. No continental breakfast, but there's plenty of other options. Was a 3 minute walk to the concert venue we went to (MTelus) and even at 1:30am when I went to the Deppaneur (convenience store), I felt safe on that busy street. People were polite in the area, minded their own business and I didn't see or feel like I was around anyone sketchy. Would stay here again, for sure!
