I chose this hotel as I was able to book several nights using my remaining Marriott Reward points. This hotel was very nice and clean. The rooms were very comfortable (beware - the mattresses are VERY firm). Breakfast had several options, and we were very pleased. We took cabs to the nearby Metro station to get into downtown Montreal. We found the Metro to be a great way to get around the city. There is a movie theatre and several restaurants in the area for things to do that are in walking distance.

As a mother of twins, a great quiet suite was very important to us. Brought the 5mo olds up to visit in-laws.
The check-in was smooth. We left and visited family. When we returned we were informed that there was no electricity in any of the hotel rooms, only the common areas. The nice front desk staff gave us two flashlights. One of the main reasons we booked a suite was so that we could have the bassinet in a separate room and have access to a dishwasher. Needless to say, it was a very long night.
The following morning I contacted to the front desk to find out how much of a discount we would receive I was informed that since the power outage was not their fault (hydro was doing repairs), they would not be issuing a discount.
After the lights came back on, the rooms were very nice and the free breakfast was better than most-hash browns and french toast were on the menu.

Residence Inn just opened end of Aug 2006. We definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who is visiting Montreal with a car especially for families and individuals who need extended stay facilities for their spacious rooms fully equipped with a kitchenette & dinette. The kitchenette had a stove top range, fridge, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, china and cutlery. I'm sure I would miss listing some other appliances, but in general I believe that this had more appliances than a standard Residence Inn (I have only been to 3 in total). . We were in a studio with a king sized bed and a queen or twin sized sofa bed. It was comfortable for our family of 3 adults and one child. It was our first visit to Montreal and wanted a room in downtown. However, after comparing prices, not to mention, additional costs for hotel parking (average of $ 18/day) downtown and a lot of bad reviews on mid-level hotels, we decided staying in this airport hotel. It was a pleasant surprise to find out that it was just 10 minutes (off-peak) to 40 minutes (peak) to downtown. Walking distance was a shopping complex with cinemas and restos. A complimentary hot and cold breakfast buffet was so filling that we had lunch at 3pm later in the day. This is versus the 1 croissant and a cup of OJ I have read on other downtown hotel reviews. I also read that most downtown hotels are old and had small rooms even for the mid-level brands. 'The staff was very friendly and helpful, nothing else we could have asked for. Other in-house facilities were an exercise room, heated pool and a kid's room. I am sure that there are other services and features that I would not be able to mention, but you definitely have to consider this hotel the next time you plan to go to Montreal. And I hope that the hotel's staff and management will continue to delivery excellent service or better! Residence Inn Montreal Airport - New, Very Comfortable, Spacious, Friendly, Great Value!
