Quick Help - on Montreal! About This Page:

[CRCrazy]

Help - finally got the details, sort of, on Amanda's team trip to Canada. She's already paid to stay with the team, so that's her plan for now, although she may bunk in with us after she gets there. There are two other girls going from her school (both seniors), but they are not staying with the team, they are staying with their families at another hotel.

I'm comfortable with Amanda staying at the hotel with the team, since we've known the coach & his family for twenty years, although she doesn't know many of the girls very well. They are staying at the Quality Inn Downtown. After going online - they only have hospitality suites with two double sofabeds available - John decided to take vacation as of last night - so that is NOT going to cut it for the four of us.

Anybody recommend any hotel in particular in the downtown area of Montreal?? I need to figure this out quickly, since we leave on Friday!

So far, I'm leaning toward the Courtyard by Marriott. They offer 2 queen sized beds, a pool, and free highspeed internet access (maybe a quick live trip report?), for about the same price as the Quality Inn - and they are a 3 star, not a 2. I'd also get a $100 coupon for a future Marriott stay of two nights or longer! Only trouble is, this hotel is a little further away from Amanda's hotel - not a lot, maybe a mile or less. The other hotels in Amanda's immediate vicinity seem nice, but are offering only double beds. The Sheraton Le Centre looks good - closer to Amanda, and still has a pool for Sarah, but it too is only double beds. Does anyone know if these beds are the supersize doubles like the Dolphin, or little ones like the All-Stars?

Anyway - if anyone has any input - thanks in advance!

Marie this is where my parents stay when they go Le Meridien Versailles, I tried to find a link online but couldn't But I know the booked it through AAA. I know it's fairly central since they always took the train up there. I've only gone up for day trips so have never stayed overnight.

Thanks, Kiarasmom! I checked out Le Meridien on their website - my AAA office doesn't list it as an option anymore. While it looks absolutely gorgeous, it is a little pricier than the other hotels we are looking at, and it doesn't have a pool.

My 7 year thinks the only reason to stay in a hotel, is to be able to swim in the winter!

Well - We've made a decision - we are going to go to the Quality Inn Downtown - it's directly across the street from the place Amanda will be playing at, and it is the same hotel she is staying in, so we can make sure she is all set! It doesn't have a pool, but our stay will be so short - we probably wouldn't have time to use it anyway!

It is all suites - 2 double beds, with a double sofa bed and lounge chair in the TV area - Jennie should be happy - maybe she won't have to sleep with Sarah! The price is right, although parking isn't included, and it is $18CAD for SUV's per day - so I'm guessing that will come out to around $30 for the two days, with the exchange rate factored in. It does come with a continental breakfast - which means COFFEE for John! Hopefully it will be clean, that's all I'm worried about.

Although I have to miss the Hard Rock Cafe in Boston for the Passporter Meet - this hotel is right near the Hard Rock in Montreal - so I'll have to have lunch there in honor of the Passporter! I'll be sure to wear my Passporter Pouch & Pin! Yes - John thinks I'm nuts!
