-Are US dollars accepted in Canada or strictly Canadian?

Thanks!
The Metro doesn't run to the airport. Take the bus to any stop close to a metro station and you'll be fine, just ask the bus driver.

For your other question... Would you try to pay with Euros in London? Maybe at LHR, but not in a local curry shop. In case you haven't heard, the Loonie is on it's way to becoming a global reserve currency. If you pay in USD, it may get accepted at par, it may not. Draw some CAD from an ATM upon arrival at YUL.

Your hotel is just a few blocks west of the nearest party zone (on rues Crescent, Montagne and Peel). Enjoy your weekend.
