I got a rate of $149 which I think was a killer deal for what we got. The suite is huge and excellent for a longer stay or if you are doing work in your room or doing business. The living room opens to the kitchen and bar stools so a group of 4 or 5 could easily converse. The "custom" bathroom with the 2-person jacuzzi rocks. The cocktail reception is a nice touch, you get 2 free drinks per person per night, true there is really nothing in the way of finger food. We were able to exchange 5 drink coupons for a bottle of wine which we took up to our room to continue our business conversation. Not all the waiters were as friendly or accomodating, but overall service was good.
Personally, I thought breakfast was very good and I was impressed by the variety. I love the personalized omeletes but if you can't eat those every day, you can still have a beautiful breakfast. Over the usual toast and pastries there was yogurt, plenty of fruit, boiled eggs and cheese.
The location is perfect for tourists as it it right on the corner of Old Montreal. Good for business travellers too as it is very easy to access the Autoroute Ville-Marie. Parking is a nightmare and the hotel's rate was actually ok for the neighbourhood.
I've been to all the Hilton hotels in Montreal and this was the best one in my opinion.
