My Wife and I have stayed there for vacations for almost 20+ years and we noticed the changes over the years and for the most they were changes for the better. One area they could improve on is the elevator system, which is terrible. During the day the house cleaning staff use the main elevators and tie it up from guests trying to get to or from their rooms. Additionally the front desk staff don't always answer the telephone in a quick fashion probably due to low or non existant staff being at the counters. However the location is perfect for any visitor to Montreal and its a few blocks away from almost any where you would like to go. Two metros within walking distance. Main streets of Ste. Catherine & Sherbrooke a short walk away. Two shopping centers and easy access to the main highway system in Canada.

Staff is very friendly, place is very clean and yeah at times there are a noisy element especially during the summer months. Pool is wonderful, sauna and weight room and well as game room available, under ground secure parking with easy access a plus. Fine eating and dinning across the street at Chez Ennios as well as your local fare of McDonals and Wendys as well as Post Office and hospitals within walking dstance. All and all a great place to stay. Highly recommend this hotel. But be prepared as I said to wait for an elevator, especially if your room is on a floor higher than Floor 8..! You couls always use the stairs...

We stayed at the Le Montfort for 3 days in late May. We had a suite with kitchen facilities, for a reasonable price (Expedia).

Advantages: comfortable beds, good kitchen facilities (anyone staying for a week or more could save a bundle on food costs, although the can opener in our suite was blunt so I bought one to take with us), conveniently located between 2 subway stops. Atwater to the west has a mall and a cinema/entertainment complex, convenience stores every hundred paces or so.

Disadvantages: somewhat overheated for the season, but there were windows to open. Unfortunately this let in the noise from the main street traffic below, including sirens at 3 am.

Staff: neither pleasant nor rude. Overall they were helpful, although it took a while to have 2 lightbulbs replaced when we moved in.

Recommend for families or couples on an extended stay of 3 days or more.

We almost didn't stay here because of Jan.2004 review. We did and it worked out beautifully.Great location,the kids enjoyed the nearby cool stores,close to downtown, art museum,McGill.Clean rooms,handy kitchenette and separate living room from bedrooms suited different sleeping patterns. Staff were friendly and helpful.

This place is horrible!! Their prices are too high and the staff was very rude..Their rooms are nothing like what they look like on their website. The place is a dump.I would never stay there again.I stayed for one night and changed hotels the next day. I paid the same price for a four star hotel just down the street.
