La Tour Centre Ville

Short money and great location

I have stayed at La Tour Centre-Ville for many of my "guy's" trips to Montreal. I stayed there once again last week when I was in town for the Radiohead concert. Price was $99 per night (stayed Tuesday and Wednesday night). The rooms are quite dated, still partying like it's 1969. Despite the aged look of the room it was quite comfortable with a queen size bed, dining area, separate seating area and kitchenette. There is a come-and-go parking garage beneath the hotel, which we hadn't previously known of, at a rate of $16 per day. Quite a deal considering we always parked blocks away and had to leave the car else pay again to park.

Unique Quality: Fairly nice view of south Montreal, if you look at least two blocks past the hotel. The view from the small kitchen window is quite comical, and better than TV in my opinion, as you look at countless windows in an office building, watching people diligently working...or not. The garage is a fantastic accommodation. Other than the price, my favorite aspect of this hotel is the location. Once arriving in Montreal after the 4-5 hour drive from Boston, the hotel is only minutes away on Rene Levesque. It's a few blocks from Quartier Chinois (Chinatown) and it's wonderful restaurants. Two blocks from St. Urbain and one street south of St. Catherine, La Tour is strategically located and an ideal locale. If you can get past the ancient rooms, the elevators not always working and the internet being down, it's a great place to stay. I'd definitely stay again if I was going to Montreal with friends.
