Great location I found and the Club Lounge is a big plus for those with access...free wine/beer was enjoyable and the food is a little better than average. Even if you don't book a Club room but want to access the Club after the fact they used to allow you to buy it for $30 ea but check with the front desk as it wasn't published anywhere....$30 sees like a lot but it replaces other costs for breakfast/light dinner/drink etc. When we were there last Feb they had staff shortages ( layoffs due to low bookings ) so the Club was closed Sunday and they gave coupons for free breakfast in the restaurant for Club guests.

You can walk up town from the IC in the underground transit tunnels "but" since they pass through various buildings they are not all opened we found and its a bit of a hike in the winter up hill to uptown but old Montreal is an easy walk. Next time I cab from the IC to uptown.
