Clarion Hotel & Suites Downtown, Montreal

Advantages: Location, price, clean rooms, good equipment levels.
Disadvantages: Limited choice of breakfast, no view from the room window

...Stayed at the Clarion Hotel & Suites Selby for a week, it was very conveniently situated 100yds from a sub way station which is only a couple of stops from downtown Toronto. The hotel is surrounded by restaurants & shops should you decide to stay locally. It was built in the late 19th century & Ernest Hemmingway stayed there with his wife in the 1920s. The hotel still has that period look about it which won't appeal to everyone. Our room was situated in the basement & had been recently refurbished, the room was clean & quite well equipped with en-suite bathroom with shower/bath. Other facilities include air conditioning, telephone, comforatble queen size bed, iron & iron board, multi channel TV, sitting chairs, wi-fi, hair dryer & ample drawer & wardrobe space. The only thing missing was a view, our window looked onto a part external... Read review

...Having birthdays within 4 days of each other, Les and I decided a couple of years ago that we would stop exchanging gifts and instead, put the money we would have spent towards a weekend away together.

...come through Toronto, your just as well gettting off at Fallowfield Stn. Ottawa station is not in the centre of town, its on the East. Fallowfield is on the west, but you'll save yourself time getting off there. The same bus 95 goes from fallowfield to Downtown. Overall i would recommend this hotel, and would go back. Its obviously trying to smarten its image, has a great location, and was very welcoming. Just be aware of the smoke. We got the Train from Toronto to Ottawa £72 return not in advance, 4 hours, You can do it cheaper on Greyhound coaches, around £50 return. Flights to Canada cost us £303 open jaw Manchester-Vancouver, Toronto-Manchester with Canadian Affair. They also fly to Montreal, Calgary and Halifax. Zoom also fly the same routes.... Read review
