Le Relais Lyonnais

Perfect location, excellent value

Pros: This is a small hotel, with only a small reception area. The room was very clean and comfortable, and the toiletries were all very high end (shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, etc) The location was absolutely perfect - a short bike ride from old city, downtown, Mile-ex and other cool neighborhood. There's a BIXI station (Montreal's public bike sharing system) right at the corner, and it's the best way to get around the city in summer and spring. The street is lined with pubs, bars and music venues, and gets quite busy on the weekends (but this is Montreal so everybody's super nice and chill).

Cons: Perhaps update or get rid of the old lcd TV mounted on the wall - it was incongruous with the otherwise upscale style of the room.
