So now that I have my interview date (Yeah!) I need to look into booking a hotel in Montreal. If anyone can let me know what hotels are good and which are not, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a bunch!

Do you have any air miles to use up?
If you do, the Best Western Europa Downtown is very close to the embassy (1240 Drummond St. Montreal, QC H3G 1V7)

My mom and I are staying there for free cause I used up all of mine doing so...way to get rid of them!! smile.gif

Other people have stayed at Tour Centre Ville - Across the street from Consulate and the Holiday Inn.

Downtown Montreal can get very pricey. smile.gif

The Hyatt is close by a few blocks away but yes it is a bit pricey as well.

There is also this thread on hotels in Montreal that might be helpful:

I am staying at the Best Western Villa Marie downtown. If you have an Entertainment Book the price is $126 (plus I had enough Safeway Airmiles to get a $100 Best Western gift card so it will only cost me $26 plus taxes!!!!!)

La Tour was nice because it was so close to the consulate and it was on the cheaper side compared to others. If you get a room with an air conditioner that actually works it would be nice if cheap and convenient are what you're after. We noticed piles of ancient looking a/c units stacked up in their underground garage and some workers bringing in brand new units so it seems they're working on the issue.

Make sure you explore on foot if you're close to downtown & the old section. It's sooooo much fun!!

For good prices go to hotwire.com
well... fine you don't exactly know what hotel you gonna end up to (but select the area) and you can have kickass deal.

I got the Hyatt for 79$ a night (for tonight and tomorrow tongue.gif) My sweety is coming to pick me up tonight tongue.gif
(but i didn't knew it was the Hyatt before i paid for it)

You also have priceline.com
where you can either go with the deal they have or name your own price (try 50/60% of the price they show) and see if it's accepted.


Good luck !!

Go to Montreal Tourism's website; there are also several B&B's that you may want to consider.

I used one for my (employment-based) GC interview in December 1999.
