Hotel Lord Berri in Montreal Canada

Hotel Lord Berri was great. The rooms were clean, the hotel staff provided great tips on the neighborhood. The Metro (subway) ... is a very short distance (2 blocks) from the hotel and you can easily get all over Montreal. The neighborhood nearby has a lot of food options within walking distance.

The location was great. Easy to access by car without getting into the heart of downtown. It was within walking distance of ... Old Montreal, China town and really close to the Metro Station.. where you can ride quickly to other parts of the city. Though my room was next to the elevator, it was very quiet. Downside to the hotel: The rooms were a little shopworn,the luggage storage area was unsupervised (so take care), and if you arrive late you may have to park in the dark alley behind the hotel (definitely not worth the additional $17/night). However the night clerk made the effort to stand at the back door to make sure I was safe while I unloaded. For the sightsee-er, this was a great hotel for the price.

Do Not Disturb

We selected this hotel due the proximity to Old Montréal, it is walking distance. The parking was a bit odd though, we had ... the option of parking in a lot next door that was not affiliated with the hotel for $15/night or pay $17/night CND and park indoors. We opted to park indoors but it was a very tiny parking garage, seemed to be very safe but difficult to navigate a midsize car in. We only stayed one night before departing for our next destination, however, at 8:30AM housekeeping opened the door and saw us still in bed, she promptly apologized and left. (There was not "Do Not Disturb" sign available). Housekeeping then opened the door again about 1.5hrs later (without knocking, but there was a chain on the door) this time my husband was in the shower... about to come out and get dressed. The hotel is located directly across the street from QUAM, there was not a lot of traffic around the school, but not sure if that may change throughout the year, we visited in October (Monday). The room was not spotless, but not dirty. Could certainly use some updating, particularly in the bathroom.

This an average hotel with clean rooms and professional reception. The standard room was clean with the exception of the ... exterior window. Finsihes are old but maintained. This is the wrong hotel if you want a hotel that is in the middle of a happening neighborhood. The location is excellent, if you don't mind walking 2-10 minutes to get to Old Montreal, St Dennis Street and downtown. It is located on a noisy 4 lane main street so you can't open the windows at night. The windows are double windows so no noise nuisance when closed. The price under $90 was excellent and I would recommend this hotel if you need a clean and safe place to stay and want to spent your time in the city rather than the hotel room. The subway, which is an excellent choice to get around [or maybe getting back after an extensive walk] is only one block away.

The floating dump.

I got ripped off Sep 8, 2009

We arrived to find Parking was Full; likely a result of the lower price we paid with orbitz. Now I feel like we overpaid. ... Hotel is dumpy. Not sure how it is a four star, maybe the owner keeps rating himself. Man at desk is mean and deceptive. He told me I had to figure out my own parking then told me there is a lot next to the hotel and it costs $15 to leave the car over night plus more during the days. When i researched street parking I found it was free at night so I went back and asked the receptionist who then admitted that was the case; he could have told me that up front, instead of trying to get a cut of the profit to hustle me into paying $15. The room was extremely dumpy. The sink was nearly impossible to turn on because the knob was rusted in an off position and the pipes below had a constant leak. The floor in the bathroom was a big puddle and also covered in mildew and what looked like pee stains. That brings me to the stains all over the room, on the walls, ceiling, matresses and floors. I felt like I was sleeping on a floating dump. I asked about breakfast since there was a sign about it, but I was told I didn't get the complimentary breakfast that the other members got because I used Orbitz. There were a bunch of highschoolers down the hall throwing a party with club music all night and the door to their room open, doing shots. Only one elevator worked, the other is broken. I paid for a queen but got a double. I felt dirty staying there, everything is outdated, including the old in wall a/c unit that seemed to only have two settins: off and ice cold. All in all it was a very poor experience and I certainly would not return. Even the internet was a hastle to use. If you stay here, be prepared to drop more than $4/hr to park your car on the street for the entire duration. By the way, city view is not accurate, I was staring at a tree and thats it.

Great location for nightlife and culture

My wife and I have stayed at the Hotel Lord Berri twice. This was a repeat stay. I love the location - right near the ... Village, Rue St-Catherine, Rue St-Denis, and metro stations. I like to be able to park my car and then either walk or use the metro to get around. The hotel front desk staff is extremely courteous. The rooms we've stayed in have been a little dark, but they have been otherwise clean and satisfactory. There are a few parking options, ech with their pros and cons. You can park in the paid lot next to the hotel, but if you take your car out before your paid time is up, you need to pay again. You also need to wait for the lot attendant before you can leave your car - he sometimes steps away for a while. There is also street parking, which is mostly metered. The meteres are not in effect 24/7, and you can learn this by reading the signs. Of all things, parking was the most "difficult," but that was a very minor difficulty. I love the location and the courtesy of the Hotel Lord Berri. I would stay again.

Took bus tour of city then visited the high points later; staff was helpful in helping us locate where we wanted to go next; ... staff helped us reserve cabs and print boarding passes. Hotel is in excellent location for walking everywhere. It is 2 blocks from metro that connects with all city stations (Berri-Uqam) and bus terminal to get to Quebec City. Excellent dining within a couple of blocks on St. Denis north or village to the east. A few blocks the other way (south) gets you to the port. We don't speak French but almost everybody was friendly and most everyone knows English too. What an absolutely magnificent city!

Great Location Poor Rooms

NYCTraveler Aug 23, 2009

The location of the hotel is great. It's right next to the Latin Quarters (the happening spot in Montreal) and near the ... biggest Metro Station (Berri / UQAM) which allows you to get to any part of the city with ease. However the rooms themselves are a bit lacking. The air conditioning unit is probably the same one they had when they first installed air conditioning here. The bed was bouncy and the mattress seemed they were not changed in more than a few decades and sank towards the middle of the bed. My girlfriend had an allergic reaction every time we stepped into the room. They should have invested in new beds for this place instead of the new flat screen tv that was in my room. The front desk person telling me that they do not offer complimentary continental breakfast for Orbitz customers also turned us off to the Hotel.

This is a cheap hotel located in the middle of everything. There are absolutely no frills or ambiance but it is perfectly ... clean. It has everything you need if you are looking to save money and don't plan on spending much time in the hotel. I would stay there again.

Very disappointing

traveler Aug 13, 2009

The room was in a poor condition, had a strong smell, and was dirty. The bed mattresses were old and stained, and had a ... strong smell of cigarette smoke (although the rooms were non-smoking). The bathroom had hair on the walls, and the bathroom door was dirty. Not all the lamps in the room were functioning.

The hotel was in a great location, just minutes from the Subway. There were many neat places to eat at nearby. The rooms were ... clean. I felt I wasn't greeted adequately at the reception, though later, the staff were a bit more friendly. One thing I didn't like was they put a $200 charge on my credit card in case of incidental charges on my account without telling me. They of course cancelled this charge when I checked out and everything was satisfactory. I don't know if this is standard procedure but I would rather them have told me this instead of me having to find out the way I did.

I was visting with my adult daughter and it was our first time to Montreal. The Lord Berri was at a very convenitent location ... for touring and sightseeing and easy to get to; room was clean and comfortable; staff was very helpful; and, lots of nearby restaurant choices at reasonable prices. The hotel only had 4 parking spaces - which were taken by the time we arrived - but there was a parking lot immedately next door with loads of space. We both thought the room was a bargain.

Hotel Lord Berri is a very no-frills experience. We paid $99 for the night, and I wouldn't pay any more. I'd say the only ... reason the super 8/travelodge-esque hotel is worth that price would be its superb location in relation to the Montreal night life. If you need a place to rest your head and not much more... this works. super bonus: Access to metro is only two blocks away.
