Le Centre Sheraton Montreal Hotel
"The room was good. Breakfast was descent. I booked this hotel because it had a hottub. Well it was "broken". At $400/night, you pay a maintenance crew to fix it the day it breaks. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone because this is on management and they messed up or don't care."

"The hotel was really basic, no pool, parking was a bit complicated. On the other hand tho, the staff was incredible. This young gentleman man at the front desk, I wish I caught his name, shaved hair, he really went over and above for our stay."
