A very nice hotel with excellent amenities. Easy accesss to public transportation. The staff was nice. We had a problem with our air conditioner which was promptly responded to. I would go again.
Doubletree Montreal
The location was great, just a few steps from the subway and a couple blocks from a nice dinning area with restaurants and cafes, the staff was very friendly and the room very clean. When I booked that hotel I though that it was a little overpriced, but once I got there I thought that it was worth every penny. If I ever go back to Montreal I will stay there for sure.
A weekend getaway under the Doubletree.
This past week, we went for the "Just for Laughs" festival and stayed at the Doubletree Hotel. Having to pay * per night, we thought we were in for a treat! We have had many vacations at other hotels and found this one lacking. Firstly, when we checked in, they offered the chocolate chip cookies to the frequent customers, stewardesses, but made no offer to us. The hospitality is definitely chilly at best! The next morning, we were awoken at 5:45 am by the adjoining room's alarm clock and it took at least 15 mins. for them to resolve this. Their security officer loudly used his walkie-talkie to verify that next door was indeed unoccupied, right outside our door! I guess we weren't supposed to continue to sleep! We went to the great exercise room but there was no spray to clean the handles of the equipment. When leaving for the evening, I remarked to my husband that this cap from the mini shampoos we saw in the hall would be in the hallway the next day, and sure enough, it was there! It was there every day in the three days we stayed there--vaccuum much?. We had to call for housekeeping at 2 as it wasn't done. Also, the picture of the pool looks amazing in the advertising literature and websites, but it has seen its day. The same night, we were awoken again (at 12 am) by the adjoining room's alarm clock. Apparently, they unplugged it, but forgot to turn the alarm off!!!! This time, it took over 20 minutes for them to respond after a few phone calls down to the front desk. It was infuriating, sitting and waiting while the alarm buzzed! We would not recommend this hotel.
It was very disappointing that we could not reach room service our first night there...we just wanted to kick back after walking around for a while and rent a movie, have a snack...but we were unable to rent any one of the many, many movies listed and room service did not answer the phone, and front desk seemed to pass the blame off on the cable company. As the guest, we just didn't seem to matter to this hotel...so, even though the room was nice and clean, we didn't see the pool or gym, and the restaurant was good but pricey, we would probably not go back there.
This is a good, solid business class hotel with pool and health club, very well situated in the Plateau District of Montreal. You can walk to Rue St. Denis, Parc LaFontaine and many wonderful restaurants. Good bus and subway transportation are closeby.
I'm a picky traveler, however this hotel was more than a match for my usual displeasure. The staff was more than knowledgable about their buisness and the cleanlieness of the hotel was astounding. I would suggest this as a stay for anyone looking to have some peace and quiet without relinquishing a wonderful view and great location.
