Actually, the Aerobus station is walking distance from the hotel. I've done it both directions, with some luggage.

Montreal Renaissance- concierge floor?
Was wondering if anyone has comments on the concierge floor at the Renaissance Montreal.
I've stayed there once before- like the location (prefer the Plateau to downtown), but the room was pretty drab and the low floor just looked at the buiding across the street. Was wondering if the concierge floor would be worth the slight surcharge.
Thanks.

I was going to post an inquiry on this property as I am looking to use my Take 2 voucers there, so I was delighted to see your report!
Is there a restaurant in the hotel? More importantly I love room service and wonder if what it is like. The website says there is r/s.
What about a gym, pool, etc? Can you give me a landmark which is near so I can visualize where in Old Montreal it is. Website says near the congress centre but that is not very helpful.
Cheers,

Have booked one of my free nights at the Montreal Ren, but not sure this is a good idea. I used to stay there when it was the Hotel du Parc, and I recall the rooms being really small.
Has it changed that much or should I rebook for another Marriott property in Montreal?

I stayed at the Hotel du Parc for two nights in July 2001. It was nice enough, in a really nice location (which I also prefer to downtown). To be perfectly honest, I don't recall anything about the Concierge Floor, although I'm sure I would have been on it as a Platinum member. I do recall having had a nice view from a high floor.

I stayed at this hotel earlier this year on weekend night certificates (X14?). I got a large corner room on the concierge floor (probably based on my Platinum status), with a view to the football stadium - kind of fun to open the window and listen to the crowd. The concierge room is nice enough, but nothing super-special.
Incidentally, my stay included the 1 day hotel workers strike - the staff worked like troopers to take care of everything. I was very pleased.

Basic information on the SpringHill Suites Montreal - Old Town:
8 Floors, 124 Rooms
On-site Restaurant
Auberge Le Saint-Gabriel (French) open for lunch, dinner is one of the oldest restaurants around (circa 1754) and is connected to the hotel!
Chez L'Epicier (International, nearby) open for lunch, dinner
Le Keg (American, nearby) open for dinner
Restaurant du Vieux-Port (Continental, nearby) open for lunch, dinner
Room Service
Complimentary continental breakfast
It is not typical for a SpringHill Suites property to have significant F&B. Looks like they leveraged the adjacent restaurant to be able to provide room service.

Renaissance Montreal to close
On Tuesday, McGill University announced that it had bought the Renaissance Montreal Hotel, and plans to turn it into a dormitory for students from outside Quebec.

Guess it's off to the boutiques in Vieux-Montreal next time.
The hotel was a little "cold" as a building, but the front desk staff was always welcoming.

I'll miss it- I loved the location (Plateau Mont-Real) . I much prefer the Plateau to downtown for nightlife/shopping/cafes, etc, but there are very few hotels in that part of town.

Seeing as the Renaissance is no more, is the Marriott the best property in Montreal compared to the Hilton or Starwood properties?
