This place is an interesting piece of history with 20 inch thick stone walls. We stayed there when the low temperature was -3 fahrenheit and it stayed warm and comfortable. It is great for large groups. Off street parking is available in a driveway next to the house for 2 cars, one behind the other, and we never had a problem parking a third car on rue Montcalm. Getting in and out of Montreal was quick and easy from this location but we never heard traffic noise, even though it was close to the highway.
