output: The appetizers were so good, I ordered one for a meal with a side of seasoned rice! There is no possible way to improve on the shrimp cargot!

output: My husband and I had dinner at L'Autre Saison this evening. It was very convenient for us ( around the corner from the Ritz Carlton) and highly recommended by our concierge as well as Yelp. We were thoroughly impressed with not only the elegant decor and ambiance but the service was second to none. Most importantly however, was the exceptional quality of the food. For appetizers my husband had the Confit of Duck with raspberry vinaigrette and I had the Escargots in pastry puff. Both were to die for! I especially enjoyed the escargots and mushrooms which were finely chopped in an exquisite garlic butter sauce. Truly delish! The portions were so generous, we were completely surprised in comparison to the other restaurants in the area. For dinner my husband had the Surf and Turf. The Filet Mignon melted in your mouth and the Stuffed Shrimp were beautifully done in a scampi sauce. Both were served with rice and also lyonnaise potatoes as well as deliciously prepared vegetables including broccoli, carrots and squash. Again,very generous portions for the price. I had the "Champagne" salmon poached in a cream sauce served with the same vegetables as my husband. Best salmon dish I've ever had. Wish we could duplicate the sauce at home! Our waiter suggested a dry crisp Sauvignon Blanc which went very well with both dishes. We did not have dessert although we were tempted as we watched all the delicious looking desserts being served to others around us. Unfortunately we were so full we just couldn't indulge. The owner was also very friendly and personable too. Spent time chatting with us since it was a Monday night and not so crowded. This was by far the best dinner we've had during our stay in Montreal. Wish we were staying longer to go back once more. Oh well, there's always next time.... And I promise to save room for dessert next visit. Don't miss the chance to try this restaurant if you can. You won't be sorry!!!

Overall very unhappy with the experience here. The hotel overall was nice enough, the room size and cleanliness were great, the outdoor decor is very dated but I guess it works. The pool scene was fun Saturday and relaxing Sunday. Now, the overwhelming negative: I booked a room for 4 (2 couples) on hotels.com for two nights totaling roughly $360. We were traveling from DC and stayed in a different hotel for the first two night of our trip. (Side note: that first hotel charged EXACTLY what I was quoted and pre-paid prior to our stay.) The website asked only for my name when I booked, as I only used my credit card info. Upon arriving to Valley Ho the receptionist asked for "any names of people who might be staying with me who may need assistance during the stay." Uh, sure, I'm obviously standing there with 3 other people--here are their names. As soon as I provide 3 names the receptionist informs me that there will be a $25 charge per "extra" person per night--so $150 total. Are you kidding me??? I booked a room for 4--it's 2 double beds--no one is "extra"! This was almost a 50% up charge from what I was quoted online which is RIDICULOUS! Add to that a $13-something per day car parking charge and you've got a total ripoff that would ruin anyone's impression of this place. Oh, there's more. We went to the pool both days and ran a tab, which we soon discovered included fraudulent charges! Whether other people gave our name to steal drinks or the bartender intentionally ran it up--it's completely unacceptable. I realize it gets busy at the pool bar and that the cocktail waiters coming around have lots of customers, but if we drank buckets of beer all day and there are separate margaritas on our tab that weren't ours we shouldn't have to pay for them! Despite loving Scottsdale we won't be back to this hotel. It wasn't our first stay here but it was just an awful experience due to billing issues and it'll be our last.
