A Very Good Deal We live in Vermont, an easy three hour drive from downtown Montreal, so we have been frequent visitors for the past 15 years or more to various hotels in the downtown area. When the price is right, the Marriott can be a very good deal. We booked under the "Sweet Deal" promotion, which included free buffet breakfast for two. I agree with the reviewer who stated that the service at breakfast was somewhat formal. We found it not to be the waitstaff, but rather the overly formal "host" who seemed to pride himself on intimidating those who entered his domain. We were happy not to see him again on Sunday! Buffet was OK, but not the best. Rooms: When I booked I was told that some rooms were more "deluxe" in furnishings, but all were the same size, not including suites. I believe our room was more deluxe as it did not look at all like the room posted by another tripadvisor member. It actually was quite lovely, with a crisp white duvet, a nice array of 6 pillows and a neckroll, beautiful drapes and new carpeting.(We were on the 18th floor overlooking the park). The bathroom itself was small, but the separate dressing area was nice and made the room seem larger. No robes. There was also the usual table with two armchairs, and a desk with high speed internet that worked fine. The pool and hot tub were nicely heated although very crowded with families and children. No locker area for changing, which I found to be not acceptable for a hotel of this class. Also an attendant nearly ripped the towel off my 6 year old son's shoulders as were leaving the pool area to go back to our room. Without a changing room, how does one return to their room without being soaking wet? This I found to be innapropriate. Hotel-service-respect for guests?? Location: A good location, a new underground connection will allow you to walk underground all the way to Old Port. Great in cold weather. Not too far from Chinatown and St. Catherine. Bell Center right next door has indoor skating, fun to do or just watch. Parking: Self park under hotel, very busy week days, Saturday & Sunday nearly empty. SUV's may not fit, but valet parking is available outside for bigger vehicles. Overall we like this hotel. We do have two or three other properties we prefer for overall service and room size, but if the price is right the Marriott is a good choice.

You don't even need to go outside! The Montreal Marriott Chateau Champlain is great! Great location, great staff and great view from the rooms! Everybody took care of us like we were the only customers! The new Marriott Beds are fantastic, with the numerous pilows! The hotel is connected by the underground to the Via Train Station and shopping - you don't even need to go outside!
