Q: I was recently in Montreal for a days worth of work and decided to stay at the W as I love this hotel chain. If you've never stayed at a W, it's a boutique hotel that is part of the Starwoods chain. They're all pretty modern, chic and most importantly clean. Upon arrival I was greeted by multiple people before being checked in. When I went to check in they upgraded me to a larger room. I was checked in, given my key card and I went to drop off my bags. I walked into the room and noticed it was very large. I really like the look of the rooms. There were separate rainfall shower, tub and toilet. The rooms come with a nice sized LCD television, ottoman's and a nice chair, alarm clock with an iPod docking station. Just a note that with the newer iPods, the dock may not charge it. I ordered some room service and the staff was extremely friendly! The food was ok but like most hotel food, drastically overpriced. The bar on the second floor was nice. It was dimly lit with some nice coloured lighting around the walls and candles around the tables. I wish I could give this place a 4.5 but I can't so I'm going to stick to a 4 rating. I highly recommend this place as I like it a lot more than most of the other hotels I've stayed at in Montreal.

Q: I visited this bar for the first time recently and sure now, it will be one of many. Lothian Road is in need of good bars so this fits in nicely. Seating is over a few levels, so there is plenty of space - much more than you think there might be when you first walk in. Lots of wooden furniture and comfy sofas too. There is a wide selection of drinks, including special ales and beers on a blackboard above the bar on tap. There is also some beer brewing in a little side room off the bar that you can have a sneaky peek at. They have really paid attention to details too, with the taps in the sink being like beer valves, which is cool. I didn't get a chance to sample any of the food this time but it looked great and the bar had a great atmosphere too. It's also dog friendly.

Q: My son is 4 and has been going here for 6 months and absolutely hates it. Teachers are short with the children and inattentive. He got severely hurt by putting his tooth through his lip and they never even called me. He cries every day when I drop him off and we are currently looking for a new preschool. Also, it's the most expensive school around.

A: negative

Q: I'm not a sushi expert, and I rarely eat actual sushi (mostly California rolls), but my rolls were fresh and flavorful. The more adventurous at my table gave the sushi good reviews. However, the stars of the show are the Stingray specialty drinks. These are some of the best drinks I've had in Phoenix. The Summer Sumo and Japanese Tease were excellent. I recommend going at happy hour as the prices are great, but get there early because only patio seating was available when we got there at 5pm on Friday. I would definitely recommend Stingray and will be checking out the Scottsdale location next.
