“Decent, clean hotel for a short stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Spent 2 nights at this hotel during a short trip to Montreal. The location is quite close to McGill university, so there are quite a few decent and affordable pubs and restaurants in the surrounding area and you see life on the street even later in the evening!

The hotel itself is more like a 3-star venue and the rooms are quite spacious and clean. Despite it being relatively well maintained, it does have an 80's look and feel to it and could use a major overhaul/modernization. The room equipment is fully functional yet definitely from the past millennium. This is definitely a hotel for short stays or just spending the night because the gloominess of the rooms literally pushes you out to see the world outside! It is no surprise that this hotel is a favourite among business travellers, who often just need a clean and affordable place to spend a night or two.

While the room rates weren't exactly cheap, the hotel was far better value than some other places we've looked at.

“GREAT STAFF, DECENT LOCATION......THATS ABOUT IT....”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2012

people found this review helpful

I booked this room after checking it out ion tripadvisor and was very dissapointed. The staff were wonderful...no doubt about it. But the room was dated with old tvs, furniture and baths....heaters left alot to be desired and the breakfast was overpriced for what we received....bagged scrambled eggs and canned beans......location is good if not a bit seedy. Only a ten minute walk from the "real" downtown. This place is fine if you steal it....and the breakfast is free. Great sports ber acrooss the street with tons of tvs, good grub and cheap beer.

“Great spot”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2012

person found this review helpful

Stayed in January, 2012. Very well appointed room, quite spacious and very well kept, very clean.
Stayed in a "Signature Room" which was more than adequate.
Located about 6 blocks from the shopping district which is an easy walk.
Buffet breakfast was good and the dining room staff was very attentive and pleasant.
Parking is available right next door for around $20.
Might be nice to have some music in the room, as there is only a TV, no way to play local radio. etc.

“Grand Prix weekend”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2012

Stayed here during Montreal's busiest weekend. We were in one of their excellent 2 room, 1 1/2 bath suites on the top floors so this definitely slants my opinion towards the positive. The rooms were very clean, the staff courteous and professional, breakfasts satisfying and the hotel is in close proximity to the city center. The 2 blocks down the street from the hotel heading towards city center are a little rundown but we were never bothered by it. We look forward to going to Montreal and staying at the du Fort again

Room Tip: The hotel occupies the top half of the building. The bottom half is offices. The views from all the...

“Good Hotel, Good Location, Moderately Priced”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 January 2012

We regularly stay at Hotel du Fort, when visiting our Montreal family. We find that the rooms are consistently clean and the staff consistently helpful. The moderate price leaves us feeling that we have received good value for what we have paid.

Although the choice of pillow is a somewhat personal thing, the only suggestion I might make is to have a pillow option that is a little firmer. Other than that, the quiet atmosphere always contributes to a good night's rest.

The complimentary Wifi was a great value added addition on this visit.
