Have not stayed at Gault or St. James but I love Hotel Nelligan. Historical building in Old Montreal with exposed brickwork, lot of charm, great bed and some jr. suite has jacuzzi bath for 2

Comlementary continental breakfast with excellent croissants and wine and cheeze in the evenings. For the minibar, you can get 200ml bottles of gin/vodka/etc. for more or less regular prices so could save you some bar prices if you drink. Same management as Places des Armes and Auberge du vieux port.
