"The Chrome is excellent locationwise if you plan on spending time downtown or near Old Montreal. I was there for the punk music festival Pouzza Fest. It's an excellent location for the festival, all venues are close. I was happy that the 747 bus from the airport has a stop directly in front of the hotel. It cost me only $11.75 to get from the airport to the hotel.
The staff were helpful. I didn't have much reason to talk to them other than at check in and check out. I did ask for the wifi password and they told me there is no password.
The hotel was clean, no issues there. It could use some upkeeping and maintenance. The lamp in my room was broken and you could tell where a light fixture had been busted and not fixed. Some upkeeping in the elevators wouldn't hurt, the one sounded like it was gonna blast past floor 8 and rocket through the roof.
The room was quite big, tv is a ways away from the bed but because the room is much bigger than most newer hotels that ive stayed in. The only thing I didn't like about the room was the light switch for all the lights is at the door which is a ways away from the bed, I kept the TV on so I wouldn't have to walk to the bed in the dark. I guess I could have moved the broken lamp closer to the bed.
Overall, the building was fine for my needs. It's a little rough around the edges but I would certainly stay there again. The price fit my budget well compared to the other newer hotels in the area."
