I stayed in the Delta Montreal for three days on business. My company booked it because they had negotiated a cheap rate.
On the positive side, my room was large and had a nice view of McGill College and the hill above it. I can't comment on the location, since I didn't get to go to any major sights, but one of my colleagues kept saying that the "real Montreal" was on the east side near Park Ave., but that we would have to drive to get there.
On the negative side, the room really needed restoration. As other reviews have pointed out, the carpeting was dingy, stained, and threadbare. The wallpaper in my bathroom was peeling badly. And several items did not work properly - beginning with a fairly important one: the toilet. I actually had to reach into the tank to fix the stopper a couple of times before calling maintenance. I didn't like what I saw inside the tank - rust-covered, brown, old. They sent someone up, who fixed it, but left marks on the floor from his shoes or tools. The bathtup faucet also had a slight leak. One other maintenance issue: the hallway of my "non-smoking" floor (20th) smelled of cigars.
The appliances also had issues. The TV had bad reception - most of the people sounded like they were speaking French! (Just kidding.) Seriously, the picture was fuzzy/snowy on most channels. Finally, the coffee maker took about half an hour to brew 4 small cups - I asked them to replace it, but the next day it was just as slow, so I think they forgot. Not the end of the world, but when you need your morning coffee before a business meeting, you don't want to wait. My only other complaint is that they wanted to charge me $20 to "rent" a small refrigerator. I've recently stayed in Marriott hotels in London and New York (5th Ave. in Manhattan) -- where you would expect fees for everything -- but those hotels did not charge me for this service, so I would think a hotel in Montreal could be just as generous. Apparently not.
The hotel also was less than generous about its towels and soaps. My bathroom was stocked with only two bath towels and one bar of soap that was supposed to serve for both sink and shower.
One last thing: The hotel boasts of a large workout facility, and the picture on its Web site looks great, but it's really a very small, narrow workout room, with older equipment that is jammed together, and the weight training equipment is separated by the aerobic equipment, so if you get on the treadmill, you have to watch the weightlifters pace back and forth in front of you to get to their various pieces of equipment. Not a big deal, but just be aware that the workout facilities are not as expansive as advertised.
