I last stayed at the Montfort five years ago and it excellent and economical so I now that I'm planning another visit to MTL, I decided to try it again. Only problem is, they are no longer a hotel but an apartment building according to the gentleman who answered the phone. Time to update your information Trip Advisor! Jan 2009.

I lived at Le Montfort for five months from April to August 1999 while studying in Montreal. A great place and a fantastic home away from home. The appartment was very roomy, the staff friendly and helpful, and the view from my 14th floor-terrace (and from the rooftop terrace) over Montreal and the St. Laurent are unbelieavble. I'd always come back!

My Wife and I have stayed there for vacations for almost 20+ years and we noticed the changes over the years and for the most they were changes for the better. One area they could improve on is the elevator system, which is terrible. During the day the house cleaning staff use the main elevators and tie it up from guests trying to get to or from their rooms. Additionally the front desk staff don't always answer the telephone in a quick fashion probably due to low or non existant staff being at the counters. However the location is perfect for any visitor to Montreal and its a few blocks away from almost any where you would like to go. Two metros within walking distance. Main streets of Ste. Catherine & Sherbrooke a short walk away. Two shopping centers and easy access to the main highway system in Canada.

Staff is very friendly, place is very clean and yeah at times there are a noisy element especially during the summer months. Pool is wonderful, sauna and weight room and well as game room available, under ground secure parking with easy access a plus. Fine eating and dinning across the street at Chez Ennios as well as your local fare of McDonals and Wendys as well as Post Office and hospitals within walking dstance. All and all a great place to stay. Highly recommend this hotel. But be prepared as I said to wait for an elevator, especially if your room is on a floor higher than Floor 8..! You couls always use the stairs...

We stayed at the Le Montfort for 3 days in late May. We had a suite with kitchen facilities, for a reasonable price (Expedia).

Advantages: comfortable beds, good kitchen facilities (anyone staying for a week or more could save a bundle on food costs, although the can opener in our suite was blunt so I bought one to take with us), conveniently located between 2 subway stops. Atwater to the west has a mall and a cinema/entertainment complex, convenience stores every hundred paces or so.

Disadvantages: somewhat overheated for the season, but there were windows to open. Unfortunately this let in the noise from the main street traffic below, including sirens at 3 am.

Staff: neither pleasant nor rude. Overall they were helpful, although it took a while to have 2 lightbulbs replaced when we moved in.

Recommend for families or couples on an extended stay of 3 days or more.
