Location, location, location!
We stayed in a "superior" room and enjoyed the character of the hardwood floors and brick walls of this quirky, nicely renovated building - not at all the corporate commercial feel, yet comfortable and clean. Walk out the front door and you are practically in the Place Des Arts, pedestrian only. We parked in the Complex Desjardins, so convenient, and traveled light with just backpacks. This is not at all accessible to those who cannot climb stairs. But for sightseers on a budget we found it very pleasant!
