Le Square Phillips Hotel And Suites - Montreal, Canada     

During a 2-week vacation in Quebec, this was the best of the hotels we stayed at. Location was very convenient in Downtown, just a block from St. Catherine St. and the Jazz Festival, maybe a 15 minute walk to the Old Montreal area. Service was excellent, very solicitous, from the front desk to the concierges to the bellhops. The room was very spacious and comfortable, kitchen pretty equipped. Breakfast (included) was buffet and had plenty of options (waffles, croissants, breads, cereal, fruit, etc). Valet parking was very convenient. Rooftop indoor heated pool was a hit with our kids. Overall a home run.

We followed other Tripadvisor members' advice and stayed at Le Square Phillips for 3 nights in late June. Four of us (2 teens, 2 adults) shared a 2 bed studio (single room). The beds were extremely comfortable. The kitchen area was nearly as big as a second room and featured a table for two along with a full refrigerator, microwave, stove and dishwasher. A full continental breakfast with cereals, fruit, yogurt, waffles, etc was served every morning. The hotel was a 15 minute walk from Vieux Montreal. It was also just down the block from Saint Catherine Street, a very long street in downtown Montreal with lots of shops (ideal for teenagers). An entrance to the Underground Mall was also 1 block away. There is an excellent pizza restaurant a few doors down from the hotel (they serve 40 types of pizza) that we loved and highly recommend. Staff were very nice and accommodating. We had to valet park our car ($20/night), but the price included in/out privileges and we never waited more than 5 minutes when we wanted the car (we walked almost everywhere). The hotel includes a rooftop pool, but it is only accessible by one ladder at one end, and the entire pool is about 4' deep - ideal for swimming laps, but not good for young children. There is also a coin-operated laundry room next to the pool area - a plus for families traveling with children. We were very pleased with this hotel and would stay here again. (We usually stay at Marriott type hotels - this was fully comparable.)
