I stay in Montreal a lot and here are my recommendations:
Value or family type hotels:
1. HIX on Rene Leveques - we have a corp rate there of C$115 and that can get a 1bdrm suite with breakfast included for all. Normally rates around C$130-150+. Good value if you are a family of 4 with a full kitchen (but no dishes) and some privacy since the kids can be in the living room and adults in bdrm or 2 couples travelling together.
2. Sheraton 4pts is okay but not great. The restaurant in there you should probably give it a miss since Montreal has much better food.
Chains:
1. Hyatt Regency Montreal - if you pay extra for club (or get upgraded as Diamond) you get full hot buffet breakfast, evening appetizers, and free wifi. We have a corp rate there too if anyone needs it.
2. Sheraton Centre - it is generic chain hotel and decent enough and good location if you want to do shopping. If Gold/Plat, you get upgraded / access to club with continental breakfast and evening appetizers (but drinks expensive). Despite being a frequent guest, I still get asked for my passport / id which I do not get asked in North America, normally only in Euorpe and Australia / NZ.
3. Intercontinental is okay if you can get a room with breakfast for a decent price. Nice rooms but coolish service.
4. Marriott is okay if you have status to get upgraded to the club/lounge but the Sheraton location is better.
Boutique
- Hotel Nelligan is great boutique if you can get it for a reasonably price or splurge for a nice romantic weekend
