Absolutely can’t beat the location of this room! The street is packed with restaurants, bars, a grocery store, and is a very short walk to the biggest hub of the Metro (Berri-UQAM). Getting around was simple and convenient. The room was super clean and had a lot of nice amenities. Despite being close to everything it was actually quiet. Hardly saw another person the whole trip.
Great water pressure in the shower.
There’s a parking garage very close which has a reasonable daily rate. Never had to worry about parking or knowing the crazy shifting street parking rules.
Cons:
the room is what is pictured - there is nowhere to sit other than the bed. Not ideal for choosing to eat in.
You don’t get a remote for the tv, just the roku remote. The tv was stuck on demo mode, and the roku remote (and app) had no power button or volume buttons. Had to get up and reach 6+ feet to adjust anything. Tedious but livable in the short term.
Somebody in one of the other apartments in the alley enjoyed a bit of MJ in the evening and the smell came through the A.C. unit. Not something controllable but still put a small damper on the location.
Wifi was very touch and go, had to switch between two wifi networks often to get it working again.
Self check in and check out was very convenient, but the door only has a keypad on it. No key, no deadbolt. Took us a minute the first day to figure out how to lock it properly.
If you need total darkness to sleep, bring an eye mask.
