Montréal

Fodor's Review:

Clean and basic, this all-suites hotel fits seamlessly into one of the narrowest and oldest streets of Old Montréal. The entire hotel was refreshed in 2010, starting with a stained-glass installation in the lobby. Apple green accents replaced the frumpy pastel decor in the suites, which were modernized with flat-screen televisions, iPod docking stations, and a wavy-patterned carpet that's a little hard on tired eyes. The gym, located beside the salt water pool, has an inspiring nature mural. Free WiFi was added in 2012. Busy rue St-Paul is a block south, the Vieux-Port is a five-minute walk, and Place Jacques-Cartier is three blocks east. Pros:  Fodorites love the free, bountiful breakfast; large rooms and underground parking—both rarities in Old Montréal; salt water pool; Häagen-Dazs for sale in the lobby. Cons:  not much style for the money; difficult access on a narrow street; poor views. www.springhillsuites.com. 124 suites. In-room: a/c, safe (some), Internet. In-hotel: restaurant, pool, gym, spa, business center, parking. Breakfast.
