Easy access to bus & train lines; walking distance to Old City. Area a little dirty and run down, addicts & panhandlers that are common near some Montreal train stations. Polite & professional staff. Good hot breakfast but busy/too few tables with weekday ending time of 9:30. Disappointed some hotel features were not available. Unlike other Homewood Suites that offer weekday manager's receptions, this location had only 1 night and there was no wine & beer because "we don't have a bar tender." The featured roof top bar & restaurant that we were anticipating seemed really nice, but it wasn't open. Seasonal perhaps, but there was no mention of that in the property overview. The restaurant attached to the hotel lacked the atmosphere we were hoping for, families with children eating pizza. We would have stayed in a hotel more central to bars & restaurants had I known our hotel bar wasn't open. Our room was not ready when we arrived at 5 pm, check-in is at 3. We waited about 30 minutes, for the inconvenience, our party of 4 was offered 2 bottles of water and a cookie. Our 8th floor room faced an expressway with 24-hour road noise that can be heard from inside. I'm used to city noise, but I could see how it might bother others. Pull the refrigerator out from the wall to open it, and make sure the washer/dryer cabinet is completely closed to use the bathroom door. Both are designed without adequate space. Otherwise, the suite was clean, comfortable and nicely furnished.
