Thank you very much! I'm a frequent visitor, and know Old Montreal very well. To be honest, I've always stayed at a boutique, simply because they're quite romantic and charming, wood beamed and situated on the cobblestone streets in the very heart of the old city, they also tend to be less expensive than chains (I highly recommend the Epik Hotel, and Le Petit as a close second...though ignore breakfast at both and walk to Le Cartet).

However I have an Ambassador Free Night about to expire, and the group I'm bringing are not love interests, so the very decent location for walking (right on the edge of old town and the modern city) and savings for a group take precedence.

I will note, I also got the "upgrade offer", ignored it for both rooms, and both got pre-arrival upgrades (without notice btw, just saw them on the app, you'd think they'd boast in an email).

So far :
Standard King -> Premium King Corner View
1 BR Suite to - 1 BR Corner Suite View

Suite is $550 CAD /night inclusive of taxes and $40 CAD / night 3rd guest charge

King is $450 CAD / night inclusive

I'm curious to see how many of us will get free breakfast.

Finally, for those visiting for the first time, I highly recommend getting the "MTL Passport", a hugely discounted pass giving access to a number of the best attractions, museums, and activities in the city. The menu of options is an excellent framework to maximize your time in Montreal, while saving hundreds of dollars vs individual tickets. It includes must do things like Biodome, the Grand Wheel, PHI Center, Archaeology Museum, and large discounts for the excellent Strom Nordic Spa in Shelbourne if you have a car and make the (well worth it) 1 hour drive.
