I am. I'm so disturbed that I felt compelled to write this review almost immediately after I arrived. First of all, the bathroom reeks of smoke, although this proposes to be a "non-smoking room". I took the cover, which betrays a nauseating canvas of yellow and brown stains, off of the bed immediately. I'm pretty sure I walked through a sizable area of something sticky on the floor adjacent the bed. I wonder if the hookers outside know what it is. There's no toilet paper. Starbucks napkins are rough. The shutters are patchworked together and look like a broken grill. I can see the junkies outside through the missing slats. We went to the corner deli down the street and a crackhead followed my boyfriend back to the car demanding money. I was unhinged by this. We returned without dinner. I hope tomorrow comes soon. Oh, and it sounds like somebody is dragging a body around in the room above us...and everything in here is this vomitous buttermilk color.

I was a little concerned about this place when I read the reviews, but I gave it a try. I had no problems here at all. The owners and staff were very helpful with directions and answering questions about what to see and do in Montreal. One morning we even breakfast with his family even though that was not included in the price of the hotel. Yes, the place is older and not all rooms have bathrooms in the rooms, but I would not say it was dirty at all. The neighborhood can be a bit sketchy, but I did not feel threatened or unsafe. I would recommend giving the place a try.

Stay Far Away!!!I I stayed 3 days at this hotel.It is very close to everything,including the shuttle from the Central Bus station to the airport.I would have switched to another hotel,but I was tired,it was raining.The bathroom was unsanitary,un-clean.Some of the knobs,fixtures broken.The room had old grape stems behind the bed,and a lot of dirt.There were some kind of bugs in the room,I discovered.I had to got to the hospital when I returned for treatment.I would never stay there again,for any amount of money offered!!!Also,an item turned up missing from my luggage.I remember the words of another reviewer of this hotel,anything of value was taken.I had taken what I thought was everything out of my suitcase,of value.But missed the small itemI noticed someone had been in my room when I was out.The desk person is young and friendly,but the other staff lurking around were a bit scary.I would not wish this hotel on anyone to stay at....

The guy that owns the hotel sleeps in the lobby, giving the illusion that the hotel is "VERY VERY SECURE". He spends his time making sure the crackheads and prostitutes outside aren't near the doors of his hotel while customers are around, but when customers leave, he robs them of all their valubles and denies it. He pretends to care about the safety of your things (i.e "you didn't leave any of your money in the car i hope, this is a rough neighborhood.") while making sure that he can sneak into your room, go through your bags, and rob you blind while you are out trying to enjoy Montreal. Apparently this hotel is "so secure" that "no one could get in to take your belongings." But, when questioned about his employees capability to steal, he pretends not to understand english, and says there is only one set of keys for each room. The room looked nice upon arrival, but once the sun goes down, and the locals come out there is no possible way of getting any sleep between loud junkies, and strange noises and apparent fights inside the hotel.

Overall, this hotel has "secured" the top honors for worst hotel ever stayed in. As for the location and local inhabitants, you're not likely to find more crack dealers and junkies on any other street in Montreal.
