We stayed here for one night after arriving in Montreal on a cruise. We used my husband's Priority Club points for the room. On the positive side, our suite was huge -- 2 separate bedrooms, a large living room, a kitchen area and bathroom. We slept comfortably and soundly despite the Montreal Jazz Festival taking place on the street behind the hotel. And in-room Wifi was free.

Although located within 15 min. walking distance of the touristy part of town, I wouldn't say it was a particularly attractive area. It's on a busy street, and we had to walk through Chinatown and streets devoid of anything interesting to get down to the tourist section. The front desk worker seemed overwhelmed by calls & people trying to check into rooms that weren't ready yet. Our suite had a touch of a stale smoky smell when we first walked in, but we turned on the air and didn't notice it after awhile. Something was clearly wrong with the toilet as it made a really loud foghorn sound (just like on the cruise ship!) moments after flushing. A repairman who had been sent up to fix the hot water in our kitchen sink (apparently unsuccessfully) attempted to address the toilet problem but wasn't successful at that either.

Despite these issues, I still think we overall got a better deal than my sister's family who used Priceline and stayed for $100+/night at the Intercontinental. Their room was tiny compared to ours, and Internet cost extra. Would I stay there again though - probably not.

We recently vacationed in Montreal with our 18 year old son. We did not want to book 2 hotels rooms so when we found Candlewood Suites we went ahead and made a reservation. It was the perfect solution for us. My wife and I had a comfortable queen bedroom with 2 night stands, dresser, closet, window, AC and a LCD TV. Our son in the lounge area had a nice sleeper sofa, another larger LCD TV and DVD player. There were 2 -leather like, full recliner, chairs and end table. A lanai and window faced the old town and port.

The bathroom had a full size shower/tub. There was also a fully furnished kitchen with refrigerator, microwave, cooktop, coffee maker, dishes, pot and pans. An eating counter and bar stools too.

On the ground floor (RC) rez des chaussee is reception, business center (free internet and printing), laundry, and exercise room. The place was very clean, and conveniently located. The Holiday Inn Express, their sister property is next door. 5 minute walk to the old town, it borders Chinatown, 10 minutes to downtown and 15 to the train station. Nice IGA supermarket 3 blocks one direction, small grocery store 2 blocks another. Neighborhood surrounding is not great but it was OK, we felt safe at all times.

Don’t book it if you want a luxury hotel experience with nice amenities, full service, bell hops etc. There is not daily maid service.

Book it if you want a clean, conveniently located hotel with lots of room. A real value here.

I've stayed at this hotel 2 times..n its always been a good stay...very clean...very roomy...extremely friendly staff that are always willing to help...we had 7 people in the room for new years when maximum was 4...and never got noise complaints...its full of teens and party people so if you want a fun place stay here. First time I stayed we were loud but we just got a warning from a really nice security guard...Next time I go to Montreal im staying here again..

I spent 4 nights in Candlewood. Comfortables beds, nice kitchen, the bedroom have a lot of space and the bathroom was bigger than I expected. The location is nice too, but this hotel isn´t in the best part of Sta. Catharina Av, but you can easily go there by foot or by subway, this hotel is near Notre Dame cathedral and the old Montreal, around 10 min by foot or you can take the subway too.

This hotel doesn't have breakfast and daily maid, but its not a problem to us, because have a kitchen and you can change your towels every day.

If you want a good bedroom and nice location for a reasonble price, this place is perfect to you.
