Checked into Delta Montreal (http://www.deltamontreal.com/eng/index.html) recently.
Drove into the indoor garage where I picked up an automatic ticket stub. They were doing construction in the indoor parking lot and the parking spaces were quite small/narrow. After finding a parking spot, I took the elevator to the lobby. From the lobby, I checked in and was told that my room would be non-smoking with twin beds. I asked about the possibility of an upgrade and was informed that for about $20/night, I could get a king size bed and larger room in one of the upper levels. I asked if there was anything else that came with the upgrade and was informed that free internet came with the upgrade and free local and toll free calls (although I had my Montreal cellphone with me so I didn't really need this option). I opted for the upgrade.
If you give your automatic parking stub to the front desk and tell them that you will be using the parking during your entire stay at the hotel, they will give you a yellow stub which allows for in/out priviledges. The cost of the in/out ticket stub is charged to your room at about $22/night (taxes included). If you don't plan on using the in/out priviledges, you can find cheaper parking (both indoor and outdoor) within a few blocks away.
My room was nice. It was on the 20th floor (which is supposedly the highest floor that does not require a keycard to use the elevator). Everything worked fine. The heating system made what I would consider a lot of noise and I had to turn it off in the evening in order to get some sleep.
The room also had a balcony. I would say that the view was okay considering that there are a lot of tall buildings downtown and I wasn't facing anything of particular interest. Two of the SPs that I saw mentioned that the view was nice while the others didn't say anything about it.
The internet connection was okay but did have some noticeable issues with watching streaming videos. When browsing the internet (regular web pages), my connection would also time out a few times in the day.
I'm not sure if this was part of the upgrade or not but each day, housekeeping services replaced the spa sample products that were originally in my room (shampoo, 2 types of soap, conditioner, hand cream, etc.). They also replaced the bottle of water and the coffee (although I didn't have any coffee). My room came with a bathrobe which was nice.
On the first morning, the lady from housekeeping showed up at about 8:30am and asked me what time she can clean. Since I was about to take a shower, I asked her to come back in about 1 hour. At roughly the 1 hour mark, she knocked on the door and I opened it. She asked me what time I wanted my room cleaned. I informed her that she could clean it right now. She told me that she was not allowed or supposed to clean the room while there was someone in the room (which to me seemed stupid if the customer didn't mind). I informed her that I would be stepping out to the gym and grabbing a bite to eat between 10am to 11:30am and she could clean my room between those 2 times.
When I got back to my room at 11:45am, my room had not been touched. I waited a few minutes and then called housekeeping services because I had no idea when the next time I would leave my room.
The person apologized and I said that I was not sure when I would leave my room again and I would at least like housekeeping service before that time. She informed me that I didn't have to leave my room.
The view from my room's balcony was also very nice or at least that is what one of the SPs mentioned to me. She mentioned that I should always stay at this hotel when I'm in Montreal. However, since the hotel is downtown with all the tall buildings, I can't really say much about the view. From the balcony, I could see a little of the Olympic stadium on the far left. On the right, there were a lot of tall buildings.
Something to note is that they slip your bill underneath your door on your last night (most of the hotels that I've stayed at leave it on your door's handle or place it in an envelope). I was with one of my overnight SP's during my last night at the hotel and I'm not sure if she saw the bill since she got up to use the washroom once at about 5:00am. When I went to the washroom at about 6:00am, I noticed the bill on the floor.
I got a good/decent price for this hotel and one of the SPs that I saw actually didn't believe me when I mentioned the price that I paid per night for this hotel.
