The parking lot is controlled by your room card, when it doesn't work immediately, you're stuck behind many vehicles. The executive suite is on the 14th floor. The hallway was under construction, way into the evening when I checked in. It was a mess, and the maid dragged in the mess from the hall into my room, and didn't notice, leaving it there. The front desk staff charged $80 per night, for a deposit, which is more than any place I've ever stayed. When I argued, he said he would turn off phone usage and tv movie usage, and reverse the deposit charges. He reversed the deposit charges in front of me, but the next day Visa advised he still charged $170 without advising me. The next night, I saw a customer having a heated argument regarding the fact they would not accept her Expedia booking, which was fully paid, but which never got to them. The location is extremely difficult to drive around, situated immediately next to a subway terminal, and leading out directly onto a major highway. For all of my travels, despite the beauty and comfort of the room, I had driving, parking, hallway, and deposit issues which I haven't had elsewhere. Expensive restaurant.

My husband and I stayed here during the Canada Grand Prix in Montreal. The hotel was so convenient! Only one stop on the metro to get to the race and we definitely went in the "less crowded" direction. Also, the metro stop has small fast food chains and a grocery store to pick up little items.

The restaurant in the hotel was nice. Every morning there was a breakfast buffet. Free parking was a definite bonus. The staff were very pleasant - speaking both English and French. The room was average; not luxurious but had all the typical amenities. The hotel was convenient to the highway.

The area the Sandman is in is like the suburbs with some large business buildings around. None of the charm that you can find in downtown Montreal.

When I was there my toilet was leaking as soon as I got into my room; took them a while to come fix it. A little disappointing.

This is my second time to Montreal and staying outside of town.It is the smart thing to do. Across the parking lot at the Sandman is the Metro station. I have stayed inside the city limits before and it was fustrating. Traffic and signs are difficult to understand when you are from the U.S. . I even speak French, ( Origianlly from Canada) but the signage is not great to get around the city. The Metro is the way to go.
Now the rooms are very nice and clean. The maids must work hard to clean these big rooms and full baths. The view was good, the heat and fan was also good. The beds are comfortable. I will be back again. Thank you.
