The hotel lobby was very clean and the rooms seemed fairly clean as well. I was very pleased that there was a fridge in the room.

We just wanted a place to stay overnight as we were there for a wedding, it was not fancy but ok for that.

The room we stayed in probably was not cleaned in a few weeks, cigarette butts everywhere, zigzag rolling papers in the room, beer bottles, stains on the blankets, no parking.

Too noisy for middle age couple. The hotel was full and we could not change room, so we stayed in the colder room one night. Everything was working well in the second room. However, the bigger issue .....

If you just want a place to crash that's centrally located while you're in Montreal, you could consider the economic lodge. A B&B would offer the same economy and would feel more like you were .....

If you're not too fussy about quality, the place is fine and very convenient. It's not dirty, but it has a much worn feel to it. The name "Econolodge" says it all. If you're on a tight budget, it's .....

I would not recommend this hotel to anyone except for desperate college students who are looking to get drunk in Montréal. The room looks as though it had been worked over pretty well. The heater .....
