Cynical exploitation from a greedy hotel chain
Advantages: Decent room and facilities Disadvantages: Exploited to the full during a workers strike, no room services
...Trailfinders, we booked the downtown Hyatt Hotel. As we discovered upon check in, this was going to be a very unusual and eventful stay.
THE STRIKE
When we checked in, we were asked if we were aware of the "situation" they were having and we were not.
Apparently every 3 years, the hotel workers union gets all of it's hotel staff together and agrees to picket and strike at certain hotels, to represent everyone, and it so happened that our ... ...experience.
LOCATION
The Hyatt Regency is on Jeanne-Mance. This is a very central location, to the east of downtown, and you are a minute away from the easterly extremes of the main shopping street, Rue St Catherine.
There is also a side door from the hotel leading directly to the underground city (see previous review for explanation of this), which would be very handy in the wintertime. This is down as escalator and you are led to a food ...

Neutral Marble Hotel
Advantages: Big rooms, good location, no blood on the ceiling Disadvantages: Slow lifts, shallow swimming pool
...can tell you now; the Hotel Omni would be a darn good choice for your stay. As soon as you walk in, you're in a marble tropicalia, with a big statue of a woman sitting down by reception and some of the most ludicrous chandeliers you've ever seen hanging from worryingly thin cables. Check-in wasn't much of a pain at all, which is always nice, and we went up to our rooms straight away, although the bell-boy had offered to take our luggage, which was ... ...the swimming pool.
The Hotel Omni has the shallowest swimming pool I can remember, and I consider myself to be quite the connoisseur when it comes to holes filled with water, roped off and injected with chlorine (that's right, I know chlorine is injected into swimming pool water, your secret is out, swimming pool attendants). Even at its deepest I could still kneel and keep my face above the water, and when you factor in the knowledge that I am ...

Cheap accommodation in Montreal
Advantages: Cheap, convenient Disadvantages: No credit cards
...AND GETTING THERE:
The Gite du Parc LaFontaine is lovated at 1250 Rue Sherbrook East in Montreal. We arrived at Montreal airport late in the evening. The Gite did tell us to take the suttle from the airport, get off at the first stop, which is the bus station, and then take their shuttle from there. The shuttle from the airport cost $13 (about £6.50) each. This was fine but everyone then told us that because it was late and it was a Sunday it was ... ...two of you.
The Gite is not downtown and you do need to use the public transport system to get around but this was easy enough. The nearest metro station was Sherbrook which was about 5 minutes walk away. From there the main areas of downtown and old Montreal were only a few stops away. We found the Gite's location very accessible.
COST:
The Gire is a hostel and therefore has dorm rooms as well as private rooms. The dorms sleep around six people ...
