A hotel in Montreal: which district to choose?

A European correspondent asked me lately if it were possible to make a stay in a hotel of Montreal without having to spend a fortune while having comfort necessary for a pleasant voyage. Doubtless. It is necessary to take account of two things: hotel establishment that you will attend and the district in which it is.
Firstly, which type of establishment will you choose? If your goal is to make a pleasant stay without you ruin, put side immediately the international large chains of hotels. Admittedly you are ensured to find there all comfort required, but also to spend a price which is not really justified. One can as many find services and of comfort in hotels of less fame. That they are small hotels, inns or of Bed and Beakfast, one can place oneself there very comfortably, often at a price half less low than in a large international hotel.

Secondly, in which district will you reside? You will find hotels, motels and inns in almost all the areas of the town of Montreal. But all the districts of the city do not present as much interest. It is useless to save on the price of a hotel room in Montreal while going to reside in a district of banlieu if you have to spend a fortune in the taxi and other transport costs. Publicities on the Net will present establishments to you whose advantages seem interesting, but if you do not know so much is little the various districts of Montreal, you are likely to have good bad surprise. The city is very wide and the suburbs are not always easily accessible in public transport. Without counting time wasted to return to you in the centers interest of Montreal. It is to better choose more central districts, not necessarily the downtown area, often except price, but in the districts bordering which are at the same time residential and very urban and which one can easily walk to go to the various tourist points.
In short, remain on the island of Montreal, remain more close possible downtown area and avoid the large chains of hotels and your stay in Montreal will be a full success.
