Hotel Espresso Montreal Downtown

Negativ: Michel at the front desk was rude. Had us wait while he was inputting something into the computer. We only wanted to check out and he didn't even acknowledge us. Customers are always a priority and this hotel didn't provide good customer service. The hallways smelled like dirty laundry and at night nothing was soundproof as we could hear everything from the hallway and kept waking us up. Would never stay here again.

Good location and comfortable

Positiv: Location, comfortable beds, laminate flooring.

Negativ: Breakfast was not great. Told buffet only but others ordered fresh eggs and bacon. Bugs in bathroom.

Rooms were decent, but would stay somewhere else n

Positiv: There is free coffee at the front desk and in the rooms. The rooms themselves were fairly decent with comfy beds, free wifi, and a mini fridge (empty, but useful for leftovers). The hotel also offers parking in their garage for about $22/day, where we left our car for the weekend, walking everywhere, except for 1 late night, round trip on the metro (too cold to walk all the way to the Plateau Mont Royal neighborhood of the city). There is a station just behind the hotel a bit.

Negativ: This hotel worked for our stay for the weekend, located just on the edge of downtown Montreal, but my fiance and I agree that we will stay somewhere else next time. The "fitness center" is a small room with 1 treadmill, 1 elliptical, 1 bench press machine, 2 abs stations, and 1 multi-station piece of equipment. There are some free weights, but some are missing. There is a water cooler and towels, but no sanitation cleaner or wipes and the room looks like it belongs in the basement of a shabby home. The lobby is not much to speak about either. You also are not allowed to check-in before their standard check-in time. They will not even look to see if the room is available (we arrived just after 2pm, but had to wait until 3pm to check-in).

WiFi

Positiv: WiFi is free but hard to get. Even though you have password and stuff it will kick you out now and then. It took us 15 minutes sometimes just to login. Other than that it's ok hotel

Negativ: Wifi is slow and hard to connect. Don't get there before checking because they will charge you extra for early chek-in. Also, you can't leave your car in their garage after your check-out - they will charge you extra. The rate for garage is not $20/day as they say but ¢24.99, wich is in American currency is a bit more. I would give them 3 stars though. if you're not looking for nothing special and need a place that is close to everything - this is your hotel!
