As other reviewers have said, nice but not
spectacular. I spent one night here and it was
not a bad choice. Rooms & kitchens modern &
adequate if a little cramped. The 20th floor fitness
center & pool were crisp ,clean & enjoyable, as
there is a great view from the outside terrase.
The hotel is on a quiet, semi-residential street.
Good access to Concordia, McGill & la salle
UNiversities. Lots of good takeout (or sitdown) restaruants. Plenty of small grocers ("depanneurs") to fill your refrigerator. Double check if your room will havethe balcony promised. Staff is pretty friendly &helpfull. Pretty good choice if you are
staying more than a few days & are willing to
walk a few blocks.

Stayed here for 4 nights (Aug 04) and it is a solid suite based hotel. Upsides were 1) walkable to center of Montreal 2) balcony 3) friendly staff 4) breakfast was included 5) clean and presentable Downsides 1) no character whatsoever (realise it doesnt claim to have any) 2) no washer in room (was one in basement) and dated white goods 3) lift was incredibly slow and small (got the stairs more often that not) 3) breakfast was over subscribed as the opening times were too short 4) were next to the lift which while slow could be heard. Wouldnt stay here again, not because there is anything wrong with the hotel just because there is no reason to and Im sure your money could be better spent elsewhere.

I stayed at the Residence in early May. It is a great hotel. The lobby, and public areas are very clean and appealing. The rooms are excellent, as well as the bathrooms. Even a kitchenette, if one desires to cook up something. An excellent buffet breakfast is included. The staff very nice and helpful. A huge shopping mall two blocks away, as well as a 22 screen movie complex, and a Metro stop. Could not have been a better place to stay for the price as far as I am concerned. Highly recommended. You won't be disappointed.

I just returned from a long stay in Montreal at Residence Inn Westmount. I did love the free grocery service provided with efficiency by the Front desk. I wish I could have the same at home. Room nicely decorated and comfortable. Not to mention the Lobby, very european.
Breakfast is big and delicious. I do commend it.
