Stayed here three nights before departing on a cruise. First time in Montreal so we wanted to be downtown and walk to most places. This hotel was the right location, near: Chinatown and many restaurants, walking distance to Place de Arts, Place D’Arms metro station... plus

Nice, clean hotel in a great location near a subway station, Old Montreal and Chinatown. Cleanest Chinatown experience I’ve had. Many restaurants nearby and easy walk to get places.

Hotel service was excellent and my wife and I were very happy.

WOW!!! Beautiful hotel and staff

We loved everything about this hotel, really can't think of one criticism to make.

-The front desk staff was very kind, knowledgable, helpful and welcoming.
-I was hesitant when I thought of a Holiday Inn in a city, but this was a mid-to-luxury hotel with... plus

Great location

I loved the decor- Asian themed! Right in Chinatown. Wonderful location- easy walk to the port and Notre Dame. Metro stop right on the corner. Large IGA/mall/museum complex 2 blocks away from the hotel. Easy to get to the bus stops as well. Room was... plus

I was hesitant at first since it was in Chinatown but would happily go back

Me, my wife and our daughter stayed here last weekend mostly because it was the only available choice in the part of Montreal that we wanted to be in for the weekend.

I was very reluctant to stay in Chinatown since I'm from Toronto and... plus

Long weekend Montreal.

The lobby looks brilliant with the indoor fish pond! They're at a great location too, right at the Chinatown arc and the heart of Old Montreal. Subway is across the street. The rooms are pretty ordinary though.They had some pretty heavy construction going on that closed off the main entrance.

Its Good

This hotel is in a good location. Walking distance to food, train and bus.

Don't stay weekends

It served for our pourpose, but wI'll look for something better. Very noise on weekends. Very close to old Montreal is a plus. Overall if you want quality this is not the write hotel.

Fairly-priced hotel. Met my expectations. Rooms are quite large, 2 queens in the room plus extra space to dance in while you get ready. All the basic services; rooms get cleaned, pool on the 3rd floor, staff is courteous.

In terms of the hotel itself, I found it to be great and would give you 5 stars if it had not been for the unacceptable behavior of one of your staff. On the last day of my stay, my experience was marred by the disrespectful treatment of one of your employees.

On Monday July 14th, at 6am, I was waiting for my parents by the entry stairs. I had my luggage so I was clearly a patron at your... plus

Be warned that there is an $85 Early Departure fee at this Holiday Inn. Canceled my reservation and booked elsewhere.

Spacious hotel in the Chinatown. The Internet was pretty annoying, you need to reenter the access code every time you connect, esp. annoying if you carry multiple devices.

We stayed at the Holiday Inn hotel, in the middle of Chinatown.
Paid $ 95,- for 1 night.

Unique Quality: We just went in there to see if they had a room available for that night. Rooms enough so we got a great deal, low price for a bussines room with all extra's. (we tried this in other places as well but it doesn't work all the time). The best thing is that it is in the center of Montreal so... plus

We stayed in Holiday Inn Select for 4 days.The hotel has unique oriental feel.It is situated in down down,so all important business points are near.China town is besides the hotel,so you can get so many things less expensive.We enjoyed there a lot.Hotel staff is very cooperative.Breakfast is great!

Unique Quality: 1.Location
2.Convention Centre is opposite of the hotel.
3.China Town is near.... plus

The price is lower than other hotels in the city centre. I like this place, because I can easily walk to old town, the port, and to many shops and restaurants in St. Catherine or other streets.

Unique Quality: Its on the edge of Chinatown, and the hotel has a strong Chinese influence in decoration. There is a good Chinese restaurant inside the building where you can enjoy DimSum.

Directions:... plus

This is a great Holiday Inn. It is two blocks away from Old Downtown and about three from downtown. It is well kept, with good breakfast and well priced.

Unique Quality: It has koy pond and Chinese gates on its roof. great Exercise room, pool and sauna.

Directions: Across the street from the Place d'Arms metro station. Can't miss it.

Unique Quality: This is the hotel I always stay at. The hotel borders Old Montreal and Chinatown, and is within walking distance from the financial district. The architecture has an oriental theme, complete with bridges, and ponds with goldfish. You can enjoy dim sum for lunch and and authentic Chinese meal for dinner at Chez Chine restaurant.

Directions: Chinatown

This hotel is in the heart of Chinatown, right next to the Montreal Convention Center and near Old Montreal. It is very conveniently located next to the Metro at Place d'Armes. They also have an indoor heated pool, whirpool, sauna and outdoor terrace.

Unique Quality: The interior of the hotel has a nice ambiance and is uniquely decorated with Chinese decor, sculptured pools and gardens. There... plus

Hotel way too old and very far from his golden age. Will never go back in this hotel!!!

réceptionnistes gentils

mon copain a attrapé des boutons sur le bras, le dos et les jambes au réveil..peut être qu,il y avait des punaises de lit. nous sommes très déçus...et vraiment dégoûtés, nous attendons le rapport de l’hôtel pour l'inspection de la chambre.mais ce n,est vraiment pas normal.c'est la derniere fois que nous mettons les pieds ici

windows didn't close or lock

Le spa , la piscine, je déjeuner, la décoration, le parking tout pres , la situation geografique..

The staff were very helpful and as I went in low season they allowed me to extend my check out by two hour complimentary. Finally beds were amazing!

The restaurants are closed on Sunday and room service is over priced also the view was very disappointing.

La courtoisie du Personnel

Un peu desuet... Aurais besoin d'un peu de renovation !!

It is also located beside a park which was overrun in homeless people, the view from my window was of the homeless people drinking. No lunch or dinner service and had to go to front desk for... plus

Close to Place d es Artes, Old Montreal,etc.

No breakfast inclded in rate

The staff were friendly, helpful, patient. Very very nice. Breakfast was very pleasant with a simple choice of fruits, breads, yogurts, cheeses, eggs, bacon and even oatmeal. Very pleasant service I was right in front of the Palace de Congress wher my conference was.

Nothing really. It is a good value for money

La tranquilité

Proximité, d'être au centre ville, prix intéressant, bon accueuil

The reception with all the fish

Staff was friendly Nice idea with the fish Restaurant food was good

Cleaning of room of done late in the day TV was soso Pillows too small No fridge in room (unless I wanted to pay) Ice bucket smelled wierd

Does the Job

No complaints here. Decent location and the lobby is nice with helpful staff.

Location was great

TV didn't work well. Internet was slow and unreliable. Big crack in the sink.

Staff was very helpful and pleasant. Room was a good size and very comfortable. Location - easy to get to and within walking distance of many events.

No fridge in the room The alarm clock didn't work Parking - having to go up a set of stairs with luggage to the elevator.

Rooms had space. Magnifying mirror in bathroom helpful- unfortunately lights were burnt out on the mirror. Location was ideal for accessing the convention center.

Need to improve signage and hotel identification on the sides of the building. Cab drvier could not find the hotel from Viger street- very hard to see the small green signature at the very front corner of the cuilding. Reception on... plus

staff was good but room was not as i was expecting, no fridge in room, coffe maker was with full of dirt

Very helpful and friendly staff. Room's clean but too old. Very close to China Town

There is no fridge or safety box in the room. Parking's too expensive -$27/day (tax incl). Breakfast buffet's tasteless.

L'aspect "chinois" et un vieillissement marqué.

The way the people who Work In the hotel treat the guests. The only time
I was treated well was by pierre. The chinese guys are so terrible
educated! The roomskeeping were really Nice as well.

C'est vieux aurait besoin de rénovations,

Great location. Nice staff. Large rooms.

Slow and cumbersome Internet

Everything is excellent, location is perfect - near the old Montreal, stuff is good, towels are clean, rooms are clean, coffee/tea makers are in rooms, gift shop on the ground floor, taxi parking beside the hotel.

La falta de voluntad de los de recepción de entender el idioma español

the front staff personnel member Pierre was excellent, and very helpful.

It should be noted that the front of the hotel and parking is on St Urbain if you come down viger you can't make a turn since it is one way. You have to go around 3 -4 blocks to get to the parking lot.

Location was the best for waling tour. It is located in the prime spot to reach to the old Montreal and new Montreal.

The one way streets near the hotel. But Montreal has lots of one way streets... plus

The location is great - a very short block from china town. A few blocks from the Notre-Dame Basilica and old Montreal. Everything was within walking distance and we loved it.

Bien situé, proche du centre historique et de chinatown. Proximité du
métro. Excellent restaurant chinois.

Parking de l'hôtel relativement cher (27 $ / jour), mais
indispensable.

The Hotel's location is near a station which you can move to anywhere, the staff were very helpful and kind, the breakfast was delicious and love the lobby, very different and inspired by China.

The smell in the hallways.

Location central to exploring Old Montreal and downtown area, very charming. Lobby area very unusual, breakfast staff very attentive and efficient. Breakfast buffet well presented and good variety of choices.

Paper thin walls in rooms. Neighbours very bothersome late into the night and early morning. Had city noise issues as well. No fridge in room.

Very comvenient to both old city and downtown. Also, very close to China
town. All are within walk distance.

The parking is relatively expensive ($27 cad per night). We booked a
non-smoking room but the room smelled bad as if someone had smoked
before we stayed.

Close to great food.

Its a great place to stay if you want to be in the city center and close to Chinatown. Its an older hotel and shows its age. We actually had an issue with our first room, but the staff was more than happy to get us a new room. The staff is great. We didnt try the food, $20 for a breakfast buffet is a little silly to me. Kids would LOVE the fish and water features in the courtyard. Id stay there... plus

- Breakfast included - fish pond - location - courtyard looked nice - pool and hot tub were definite features but we did not use.

- Parking was too expensive! - Room temperature too warm for sleeping (could not regulate air conditioner well) - Pillows a bit lumpy/uncomfortable - would like Aveda shampoos

After tired of eating hamburgers we found ourselves in the hotel within
very short walking distance to restaurants in China Town. This is the
big advantage if you have a Chinese stomach. The location is excellent,
within walking distance to Via station, airport shuttle buses, old town,
cruise terminal and lots of churches. Two queen beds room is very large.

The hotel needs upgrade and... plus

limpio, bien ubicado, bien atendido. particularmente a partir de la intervención de Alejandro, su manager

La situation géographique Le buffet du petit déjeuner La disponibilité du personnel La propreté de l'établissement La surface des chambres plus que satisfaisante.

Appels locaux facturés alors que la gratuité est accordé dans les autres établissements, voire même chez le moindre dépanneur. Le moindre service supplémentaire est facturé, et pas qu'un peu.

Great place for shops and old Montreal cafes

Great location. Convenient access to the metro. Fantastic staff.
Proximity to Chinatown. Underground parking.

L'établissement est démodé!

Hotel très bien situé, proche du vieux Québec et du centre

Good hotel and excellent location. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Staff was fine for the most part, except for the pool maintenance guy who wanted to close the pool area early so he could "go home." A situation occurred because of this and the manager had to be called. Ultimately, the manager let the pool stay open for an extra hour and apologized on behalf of the pool maintenance guy. Other... plus

Muy bien ubicado cerca de zonas turistica y centro A lado barrio chino Buenas habitaciones y comodas

Habitacion con mal olor Al parecer la usan fumadores

Very nice location within walking distance from the Old Port, Old Montreal, Notre-Dame Basilica, Chinatown and several other attractions. The Hotel itself seems to be old and in dire need of renovation (carpets, wallpaper, illumination, etc) although the lobby is beautiful. The rooms are spacious and well furnished. There was a strike going on but the working staff provided us with unsurpassed... plus

Was willing to stay in town, because hotels in Montreal on late notice can often be a bit dodgy. This place was located in a decent enough space that I can reach where I was trying to go, which is nice. Chinatown location was cool, too. I'm not as high maintenance as others, so don't really need a lot of frills when I stay at a hotel. The bed was very comfortable and the staff was extremely... plus

Definitely not bad for what we paid, about $100 per night including tax, and during Bal en Blanc weekend too. The positives: as close as you could possibly get to the subway (Place d'Armes Station), HOT water and lots of it, multilingual staff, clean rooms, in Chinatown, safe area, and a hop, skip, and jump away from Vieux Port. Negatives: Old room... it desperately needed a new dresser, no... plus

Great location close to china town and a short walk to old town. The fun ended there. First we were not aware of $26 per day for parking. Second the curtains in the room did not close to block out any light. Found an old muffin in the closet. Really old, dried out. Lamp didn't work etc etc. Really disappointed for a hotel with good reviews and an advertised 4 star rating. It's a 2 star at best.... plus

Great location! Right next to Chinatown and 10 mins walk from old city. Really enjoyed the fact that the bixi bikes were right across the street so if you're getting a day pass, you wont need to go far.

I used my priority points for 2 rooms during my stay. Upon checking in, they told me only 1 of the rooms were ready so I checked myself in the ready room and left the other room for my friends... plus

Great location

We loved this location. We were in town for the Jazz Festival and the hotel was located 3 blocks away. We were also about 4 blocks from Old Montreal. It was perfect for what we wanted to do.

The hotel is situated in the Chinese area very close to downtown. Not the newest hotel in Montreal but it has everything you need.

I've stayed in a number of hotels and motels in the US and Canada over the years but this was absolutely the worst hotel I've ever stayed in. I had booked the hotel for 2 nights to stay in a room with a king sized bed. A few days prior to booking the hotel I called to confirm the reservation. I was told that I had only booked it for 1. I had to argue with the person on the phone and tell... plus

Holiday Inn Select was not my first choice when I was planning for 3 days trip to Montreal, but I just could not pass the "Sweet Deal" that offers by Montreal Tourism: half price for 2nd/3rd night, Free breakfast, Coupon books...etc...

The hotel though is really convenient as it is just across the street from Metro Station Place-d'Armes..hop on Metro and it can get you everywhere. Within... plus

4 Day weekend to Montreal

The hotel is in an excellent location. There is 24hr parking across the street for C$10.00. It is within walking distance to the notredame church. The hotel is in chinatown and with walking distance to rue saint-laurent. If you stay i highly suggest you check out "Beijing" restaurant. It is located right behind the hotel. Probably the best chinese food restaurant in the area. I would recommend... plus

Located in Montreal's Chinatown and close to Rue St. Catherine Est's nightlife, I stayed at this Holiday Inn during my second visit to Montreal. With clean rooms, Asian-inspired lobby, and affordable rates, I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. Free Wi-Fi, reliable staff, and location all are positive points for this hotel. Recommended!

Conference stay

The hotel is most convenient to visitors looking to explore the downtown area. It is also right across the street from the Convention Center, including a metro station. The area is full of restaurants and cafés and the hotel has a restaurant as well. The building is a bit on the older side, which is not so much visible on the 2nd floor – but becomes more apparent in the rooms. The elevators are... plus

carpet

hallway needs some cleaning or there is a need for new carpet.

first the good things: It's right on top of a metro-station, and very convenient if you like to wander around old-town Montreal, China-town, or shopping on St. Catherine.
The breakfast buffet is nice, and the rooms are clean.

The bad things: It looks like the rooms were last renovated in the 70's. granted, I mean in the last century...
it is very noisy, even on the executive floor. If somebody... plus

Great location

Conveniently located between the old port and downtown Montreal near Chinatown, this hotel has all the basic comforts you would expect plus a swimming pool and hot tub. In 5 minutes you can walk to Place Jacques-Cartier or Place Des Arts. The room decor was basic and clean with a comfortable bed. My girlfriend and I greatly enjoyed our weekend trip and would definitely stay here again.

Friendly staff, super clean hotel, and very affordable for a downtown location that is very close to everything a traveler would want to see. My only complaint is the cheap pillows and uncomfortable beds.

Recommended though!

OK hotel in Old Montreal location

Check-in personal provided superb service with reservations for hard-to-get-in restaurants, with directions and with luggage.Hotel itself is a bit outdated but location is hard to beat and price is very competitive.

Good rates when we stayed here.

Single getaway

My experience at this hotel was wonderful! The room was great and the location was very good.

Convenient and comfortable

We chose this hotel since it's the closest to the metro station we use to go to Circuit Gilles Villeneuve for the F1 race. It's also located right in chinatown area, so grabbing a quick bite is very easy and convenient.There is parking underneath the hotel. It's now $23/night. It used to be free.

A decent hotel...not particularly nice

Hotel was okay. Not very clean. There were hairs in the tub n other spots inside bathroom. It is centrally located and especially worth it if visiting for meetings at the Palais De Congres because it's very close. All in all i wouldnt go back but it could work for the budget traveler.

Very Mediocre

Location was on the edge of Chinatown, but not overtly so. If you don't need to be in Chintown, other hotels might afford being closer to Downtown shopping. Very walkable to Old Montreal. Easy Metro (subway) access. Indoor pool was COLD! Rooms were roomy and comfortable. Although it was a decent value for the money, I'd probably spend a bit more next time for a newer hotel.

Escape to relaxation

The hotel was very central and in close proximity to China Town, Old Montreal, Shopping Centres, Bus Stops and Train stations. It is walking distance to great restaurants, night life and around the corner from wonderful pastry shops.We did not eat in the hotel, so can't comment on that, but as a place to rest your tired feet - it was Great. The service was pleasant, friendly and helpful. ... plus

Enjoyed my stay here last weekend. It's right in the middle ... 5 minutes from Old Montreal and then maybe 10-15 walk to St Catherines for shopping :P  Rooms are clean and the bathroom was quite big so it's nice if you had to share the mirror for make up because there is usually never enough room for two people ... but in this hotel you're in luck.I liked the concept of the lobby you can walk... plus

I enjoyed staying at this location because it is close to Chinatown and diagonal from the Palais de Congres. It is quite clean in the rooms. The other benefits were the pool and jacuzzi. It doesn't seem like many people use these facilities because I was the only one there besides my husband!

Good price for the location

The location is convient for meeting in the Convention Center, and for shopping and dinning.

Excellent location but needs revamping

We picked this hotel because our family lives on the same street and it's an incredible location between the very busy street of Ste Catherine and all its shops, the "Place Des Arts" where we caught the Festival of Laughs a week after the famous Jazz festival and the more laid back old Montreal by the water. It's all walking distance and this hotel is at the epicenter of these three main... plus

Holiday Inn Select near Chinatown

The hotel is in an excellent location and very close the Metro. The room we had was fine but we did hear noise from the room next door due to a connector door that was not fitted properly.

This is one of 3 Holiday Inns in the general Montreal area.  It is located on the edge of Chinatown but in an ideal location to walk to the Old Montreal area, or the Plateau section with the great restaurants, clubs, and bars.  Bars and clubs on Saint Catherine are also a short walk away.  Booking was easy and I was assured the rooms would be ready as I had requested (one with a roll-away bed... plus

Trade Show Weekend

Amazing food, excellent location and very helpful

We stayed in this hotel the weekend of Oct 3/4 2009 and had our car broken into in the garage and several items, none of consequential value when not added togther, stolen.

Hotel management's response? "Really well that's weird cause we haven't had any other reports".

I know for a fact that the items missing from the car were purchased from Point Claire shopping mall PRIOR to our arrival at... plus

Stayed here for 2 nights with 2 girlfriends. Great location, only a short walk to the old district and another short walk to the bars (which was a focus for us girls on vacation together).Rooms were adequate and clean and surprising quiet as there was a huge group of guys watching hockey in the room next to us and we never heard anything unless we were leaving the room and in the hallway. They... plus

This is, so far, the only hotel I've found with a pagoda on the roof.

Very cool addition to the local Montreal Chinatown, this hotel is OK. Not great, not bad, just middle-of-the-road OK which will be just perfect for some.

Even if you aren't staying here, I suggest visiting for the novelty factor.

A Family of 7 people.

The trip was enjoyable.

OMG this was bad

This is the worst hotel I have stayed in since going overseas with the US Navy back in the 70s.Very small rooms. Every lamp had rusty switches, shades and bases. The bathroom had chipped and rusty sink and a dirty bathtub.Very dark in every room and the hallways. The carpet was so dirty that after three hours of being in the room in white socks they were now a dark brown. The room did not... plus

Holiday Inn Select 99 Viger St Montreal

I recently stayed at your hotel while at a Cupe national conference. I found the hotel tired looking and in need of a facelift. The ice machine on my floor was out of order the entire time I was there. On the 3rd night I discovered ants in my room on the 9th floor. When I reported it, I was assured it would be taken care of. The next day the same thing happened and I was told that they would... plus

Great location-dining room, not so great

Dining room,slow. Not really good at giving options ex: breakfast menu/buffet.Waiters not good at giving menus, just really suggested buffets which were more expensive. Food was okay, we had dinner there one evening.Room first given had fan running drying carpeting & no phone service but they quickly gave us another room. Room smelled!!!

Nice cosy hotel for not too expensive :)

I would advise it to any business man because it is just in front of the Congress center. It is not too expensive, it is a restful hotel, there is a gym center (even though at this time the pool was closed...) and the Chinese style Hall is awesome. The breakfast (not included though) is really good !

Located near China Town and Old Montreal

Hotel is in a good location and clean. China Town is right next store and it is an easy walk to Old Montreal and the Montreal Jazz Festival. The Jazz Festival was fantastic! The hotel needs updating. It really should be rated two stars not three when the lamp shades do not even fit the bases of the lamps. The guest room furniture and fixtures are so so. Also did not like the lobby/reception... plus

Ok for business

The staff was very friendly but the hotel seemed to be under renovation. The room was large but looked like they never upgraded the bathrooms to this decade. It was functional for the $ but pretty uninspiring. The lobby was very nice though. Gym was a joke.

Terrible Service

The housekeeping service was terrible. They thought that I had checked out of my room when I still had 3 nights left. Everything left in my room was thrown away or stolen, including my MP3 player and documents containing my social security number. The room never got cleaned one night and the next day they took all of the towels but never replaced them. Overall...a terrible stay with no help... plus
