We booked this because we didn't want to stay in a chain hotel. There was construction outside but inside is very chic, and well maintained. When checking in we were given a room upgrade so our kids got their 'own room', which worked out perfectly for us. The gym is very well maintained, and terrace was great to get outside for a drink and fresh air. The bar is nice, but the bartender was young, and struggled with our drinks. There is an amazing coffee shop-Origine in the building and I would highly recommend going there for a great latte. It is within walking distance of great shopping on St. Laurent and St. Denis, and we walked to PDC at night and felt very safe. The staff was very warm and friendly.
