Very nice location, clean place. Jacuzzi was great too. We mostly walked everywhere, and the two metro stations were close too. I would definitely suggest taking a day pass or a weekend pass to get to more remote attractions. As for the downside, after those walks you just want to rest but then you have to go up a couple flights of stairs to get to the room, nothing major though, just a little nuisance. Also, it gets pretty hot during the summer, even when it is not so hot outside, so the AC is greatly appreciated. Overall a great place to stay for visiting Montreal.
