The hotel is clean and well priced. Staff is generally bilingual though French proficiency does help. It's a busy neighborhood & I took care to request a quite room with my reservation. Noise concerns were absolutely not an issue. We'd requested a little fridge in our room which was made available on reminding the front desk staff.
Breakfast which is satisfactory given the price, is served in a small area adjoining the lobby. The sitting area for breakfast is far from satisfactory - my only real beef with this hotel other than the absence of any public lounge/sitting area anywhere! Basically 3 tall yet small tables each with 4 high bar chairs serviced patrons as a place to sit and enjoy (enjoy?) breakfast. If it's a busy time you're out of luck. 6 people can be breathing down your neck waiting for you to finish, I mean wolf, down your food, so they can have a chance to sit. Likewise if you're in line, you have to wait till Charlie, Mo & Francois have finished up so you can have a turn with a table & chair! The objective of booking a hotel which includes breakfast is that you can enjoy it without bother. Sleeping quarters were, mmmm, so so. One queen size bed (comfortable) & one pull out couch bed - absolutely NOT comfortable. I recommend anyone reserving a standard room either be alone or else be well acquainted with his/her travel partner 'cos you'll be sharing the sheets! Anyone using the sleeper couch is either a martyr or a soon-to-be "ex" if you know what I mean.
The room A/C had only 2 settings - high or off! So there are 2 choices- take it or leave it!
If you're OK with the basics - clean hotel, free parking & something to munch on without great creature comforts, then I do recommend this hotel. Don't expect much more. But then, Alma is not exactly a metropolis so your choices are limited.
