Manoir-Papineau National Historic Site

Room and public areas are generally clean. The decor is somewhat unusual with a large tree trunk on each floor near the elevator. It does not have parking, but it has agreement with the hotel next door (Le Mount Stephen) that one can park there overnight for a cost of 40 CAD/night. It has free breakfast though minimal (pastry, bread, cereal, yogurt, coffee) in a small room right across the check-in desk. The room on the top floor (3rd) has a large rectangle opening ceiling that lets natural light to come through. The hotel hangs a white thin cloth over the opening to minimize direct sunlight from entering. This is good in the day time because the room is very bright, but the downside is that as soon as the sun comes up, one can no longer sleep due to the room brightness. And even though the room has AC, it heats up quickly, particularly when the temperature gets above 85F.

This place was amazing! Good sized rooms, modern and clean decor, comfy beds, great views if you can get a room on the upper floors, nice pool and fitness centre and perfectly located in a nice part of downtown off of st Catherine’s street. Everything was really perfect and the host front desk went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and well set up.

Too little time for my stay
