Had my interview at 8am today in Montreal, now back in my hotel at the Square Phillips (highly recommended - SO close to the consulate).
I arrived at about 6:55 am this morning and waited at the left side of the door. It was so dark out, and I kind of hoped that someone else would show up! No one else showed up till probably 7:15 or so, and the guard let us in promptly at 7:30. I was first in line, and complimented by the security guard for being prepared - I carried ONLY my accordion folder and key card to my hotel.
As other reviews have stated, I went to the back left of the elevator and headed left when I got out to window 14b. I was first to get my number (C1), yet the fifth person to be called. Gave my appointment letter, and then eventually fingerprints, photocopy of my birth cert and police clearance, and finally I-134 and evidence of support.
These were the ONLY documents they ever asked me for. I guess I got off easy.

My interview was scheduled for 11 am on Friday, December 9th in Montreal. I was able to get an appointment at Dr. Seiden's on Tuesday, December 6th using the phone number provided on this site.
Dr. Seiden's
I got there 30 minutes early (10:30 am) and waited for 2 hours before I even got to see the doctor. Once that was done, it went quite quickly. Blood tests and then xray.
The parking lot takes credit card payment and is very easily accessible. You can see it on google street view if you want to see what the area looks like beforehad.
I was able to go in and out in about 10 minutes to get my results on Thursday, December 8th after 2:30 pm. All in all a very positive experience. Just be prepared to wait.
Consulate
I arrived at the Consulate at 7 am and was 4th in line. I parked at the Complexe Desjardins (expensive but I'd say safe which is good since you should leave everything in your car and not bring it to the Consulate).

Thanks to everyone who submitted reviews and tips before me. I'll add some things that I observed, since there aren't so many Vancouver reviews.
I travelled to Vancouver to join my fiancee for her medical and interview. She is from Alberta. Given our work requirements, we scheduled both the medical and interview the same day (Dec 7). Because we knew we'd need to be near the front of the line in the medical to make the 10am Consulate interview, we were hyper-vigilant (and unable to sleep much anyway, from excitement and nerves) and arrived at Woking at 5:15am. We had some discussion about whether we were at the right door; as others have stated, there is no sign. Look for the large wrought iron doors at the top of a sloping ramp. That's where you want to be. We waited until 5:50am until another couple arrived, and watched as others joined them, slowly. There's a Blenz coffee shop two doors down, but it doesn't open until 6am, so I'd suggest taking toe-warmers and having a... read complete review

Our case is slightly different than most on the Canadian forum. I am the petitioner but my fiancee is a filipino that has been working in Canada for over 3 years. Due to this I believe our interviewer was a little more skeptical of us than what he would have been toward a Canadian citizen. More on this later...
We stayed at the L'apartmente Hotel and it was right across the street from the Medisys and only a 15 minute walk from the consulant. We left the hotel the morning of the interview and got to the consulant by 6:35am. It was a cold morning and the wind was blowing pretty hard down the street. We were the first in line and no one else showed up until 7:15am. At 7:30am the guard opened the door and let us in first. There was a lady off to the left that checked Dodelyn's appointment letter and compared it to her list. We were not on her list. She stepped out a moment and came back and said she cannot let us in until she checks with "somebody upstairs" to verify we we... read complete review

Well, I figured it's best I write a review since these were so helpful to me.
My interview was on Nov. 29, 2011 at 8am. I arrived at the consulate at 7:15am to find at least 4-5 people before me in the line. Make sure you check the weather before you go for the interview, I unfortunately got caught in the rain. Thankfully I was only waiting 15 minutes so I didn't get too wet.
We got let in at 7:30 one by one. Have your appointment confirmation letter, DS160 confirmation page with bar code, and passport out. Security is fairly fast and simple. You cannot bring a cell phone into the consulate with you, but I had brought mine because I needed to call my ride afterwards, I had no other option. So what they do if you do bring a cell phone is they ask you to shut it off, and keep it at security for you. You get a ticket which you can hand in when you leave to get your phone back.
They asked me to go down the stairs and wait at the elevator. Eventu... read complete review
