Hotel Des Arts

not good

Location was good. Cose to downtown

Elevator was down for two days. Television did not work. Fridge was locked and we were told it was out of service. Carpets were pretty muggy. We had a good friend who lives in Montreal and was showing us around the city. We were told that we could not have guests in our room and that if we did to "make it quick. This is a hotel not a meeting place." And that if we did have a visitor we would "have to pay extra for them." Which is funny as were formal and polite in behavior compared to the other guests on the weekend who were extremely loud and partying (as to be expected with the weekend and it being A HOTEL). Insulting and inhospitable. I've worked as a front desk agent for almost 5 years and I was insulted with how we were treated. Felt more like a Motel.

Excellent location, friendly staff. Free wireless internet, free coffee. Room was clean, although the air-conditioning was leaking so that a part of the carpet was permanently wet.

The hotel was noisy, mainly by people shouting on the street in the night. Breakfast is minimal.

The environment is very clean and the room i stayed was perfectly ok and it will be nice if there is smaller fridge in room for storage of visitors drinks and foods as the case may be.

The hotel is generally well run and tidy. The breakfast is weak -- cold croissants and coffee.

The biggest drawback for this hotel is that there is no convenient overnight parking nearby. I wouldn't stay here again because of it.
