"It’s a small boutique hotel. As soon as you walk in it’s smells clean. My room was spotless and I’m a germaphobe. Even the carpet looked clean. There was no mold in the shower. The parking is minimal so you might have to park in the street and pay but there free transportation is amazing. That in itself was worth the price of admission. I’d definitely stay there again."

Montreal Beach Resort

8/10 Good
"Our room had very thin walls. We could hear other peoples toilets flushing, it was so loud that it would wake us up in the middle of the night. The neighbors sliding balcony doors sounded like we were experiencing a thunderstorm every time they opened and closed the sliding door. We stayed for two nights, during both nights while watching TV, our program would be interrupted with a message saying there is a problem with the serve and to call a number...it happened multiple time so we ended up watching TV on our small iPad to avoid the frustration. The room was extremely small for a Queen Suite with Kitchenette and Private Patio (which you couldn't see the beach from). The room was very clean and we loved how close we were to the beach (just a walk across the street)."
