My experience at the Montreal consulate was actually very good except for the outcome (I'll get to that shortly). I read at least 100 reviews the night before my appt and they really helped ease my mind and my stomach  . I found this thread from VJer Saylin to be particularly helpful with regard to where to go, what happens etc: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/359761-montreal-consulate-picturesmaps/.
I stayed at the Quality Hotel Downtown(CN329)3440 av du Parc, Montreal, QC, CA, H2X 2H5 Phone: (514) 849-1413, room rates were on par with other hotels in the area and the room was ok, not fancy but clean and warm (-18 with the windchill today). It was a 10 min walk to the Consulate.
I arrived just before 07:00 and there were two people in line, we started chatting and before we knew it the door was open.

My family, fiance and I all stayed in Montreal for the weekend at Le Nouvel Hotel. It was about a 4 minute drive to the consulate. My dad drove my fiance and i to the consulate, we arrived at 7:35am Monday December 17th. When we arrived there were about 3-4 others lined up outside. We were not sure if my fiance was going to be allowed in or not. When we were next to go inside the security guard asked if it was the two of us and i said yes, and they let him in with me Then a lady took my passport and put a sticker on the back.While waiting in line for security, i saw a lady get rejected because her purse was too big. So honestly, the best thing is just don't come with one! Thankfully she must have put them in her car or somewhere because she came back.Once it was our turn to go through security we had to take everything out of our pockets, and place them in the bin to go through the scanner. Then my fiance walked through the scanner, and i did and set it off. So they... read complete review

Well I arrived in Montreal from Seattle, WA on December 5th. A little about my situation.. I am Canadian and for the past 2 years I have been legally residing in the US working on a Private Motor Yacht. I enter in and out of the US with a letter from my captain etc.. So all of my belongings etc are in the US!
So I arrive and take the shuttle bus 747 (which is 9.00) from the airport in Montreal. I had pre-booked the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth (BEAUTIFUL HOTEL) which is right downtown and the shuttle drops you off right infront of it. It is also just a 5-10min walk to the embassy.
I woke up on December 6th at 0600 and was at the Embassy by 0650. As I approached I seen a couple waiting outside and they were VJer's as well. It made the whole experience so nice to be able to be-friend someone and have the distraction of conversation while waiting. As we waited lots of other people arrived. There was soon a line of about 10-15 people behind me. I was so glad I arr... read complete review

Got to the consulate around 6:45am and there were two people in line. by around 7:20am there was quite a line up and by the way people were talking I figured I was the only VJ-er. There was the couple of people in front of me thinking everyone got the same interview time and they figured they would come early just in case... A LOT of people in that line had brought back packs & purses and were asked to get rid of them by security when doors opened at 7:30am. DO NOT BRING ANY BACK PACKS OR PURSES. All I brought was my folder in a plastic bag and that's accepted. Once I got through the front door there was a lady there asking for your appointment letter, DHL registry and Passport(s). She took mine and my daughters passports put a sticker on and wrote the registry number on the back. Once that was done we went through security which is similar to airport security in the U.S. you take off your coats and hats but could leave your shoes on, and had to put my plastic bag with my folder which ... read complete review

I can't really add much to other people's reviews because everyone else pretty much covered everything....The only thing I would say is that Montreal does not deal with the hard copy of ds-230, if you have filled in the ds-260 electronically, which you are normally suppose to have done, then there's no need for the ds-230. This was an issue when I POE'd. The border agent had never seen the IV electronic print-out and was used to the hard copy...
