It was tough to find an inexpensive motel/hotel in Montreal, especially one that offered free parking. We were familiar with the location of the motel from having lived in downtown Montreal for two years. The motel was what I expected a low cost motel to be like. It served our needs. One plus was the proximity to places to eat (A&W, Dunn's, Tim Horton's) all within walking distance. Also close to a supermarket (Maxi's).
