Hotels Near Parc Jarry in Montreal

I recently had the opportunity to stay at the Omni Hotel in Montreal, Canada, and I must say that I was extremely disappointed with my experience. Several issues arose during my stay that greatly impacted my overall satisfaction. Firstly, the hotel's pool was not functioning, which was highly disappointing as it was one of the amenities I was looking forward to enjoying. This lack of functionality should have been communicated to guests in advance, as it played a significant role in my decision to book at this hotel. Moreover, the jacuzzi had a dirty appearance, which made it unappealing and unhygienic. I expected the hotel staff to ensure that such facilities were clean and well-maintained for guests to enjoy. Unfortunately, this was not the case. Another major drawback was the absence of smart TVs in the rooms. In this modern era of technology, it's becoming increasingly common for hotels to provide this feature as a basic amenity. Not having access to smart TV capabilities limited my entertainment options and left me feeling dissatisfied. Lastly, I was appalled to discover that my room had a strong cigarette odor. As a non-smoker, this was an unpleasant and uncomfortable environment to be in. I would have appreciated if the hotel had ensured that non-smoking rooms were truly smoke-free and maintained a clean and fresh ambiance. Considering the issues mentioned above, I cannot recommend the Omni Hotel in Montreal. The lack of a functioning pool, dirty jacuzzi, absence of smart TVs, internet connectivity problems, and the presence of cigarette odor in the rooms made for an unsatisfactory experience. I hope the management takes these concerns seriously and addresses them promptly to improve the overall quality of their guests' stay.

We stayed over New Year's Eve and had a great view over the crowds gathering at the Christmas market. The room was clean and was as expected. The only downside of the hotel is that it's not very convenient to get to the exit, as you'll have to go through the mall first before reaching the lobby and then take another elevator up to the rooms.

I'm a low maintenance traveller so my experience is probably going to be appreciated by people more like myself. The first thing I liked about this hotel was that it had a kitchen, which was great for eating leftovers or cooking cheap ramen. The second thing was the location was also great as it was walking distance to Saint Denis Street and St Catherine Street which comprises of many restaurants and bars. Both streets are also closed to vehicle traffic making them fully pedestrian-friendly. There's also grocery stores and banks. The hotel was also located perfectly next to a major subway station called Berri-UQAM where three lines converge, including the yellow line which goes directly to St. Helen's Island. The airport bus route 747 also stops at this major hub too which was perfect for me. The one con I did have was that the air conditioning is very loud. I personally don't use AC but my friend needed it, and it kept me up at night, so if you're the type of person that is a light sleeper that needs a colder room, bring ear plugs. It is an older hotel, but I honestly found it completely fine. I'm not sure if it's because I tend to seek lower-cost accommodations but this hotel didn't seem that old to me at all.

Despite an initial bad experience on the phone prior to check in (I called to make sure my credit card payment had not bounced and the person on the phone was quite rude), I am very pleased with my overall experience, the amenities and the staff friendliness went above and beyond my expectations. The rooms are quite spacious with a lot of storage, I also very much enjoyed having utilities in the kitchen, the possibility to use the washing machine and dryer at any time were definitely a plus - same with the dishwasher. The only thing that a was a little off-putting was finding some hair in the bathtub, also the fact that it wasn't really possible to fill the tub with some hot water (it kind of ran out after a while). Overall my experience was very positive and I would definitely see myself booking a room again at Hotel Saint Laurent

Because we booked the wrong date, this hotel did not allow us to change it, but the front desk worked hard to help with communication. The geographical environment is very good. It takes only 10 minutes to walk to the Old Town, China Town and other major places. 

Very good location in downtown Montreal - close to the Palais des Congres and Chinatown. Property well maintained. Room was small, but fine for 1 or 2 people. Room includes a simple breakfast of cereal, breads, fruit and hard-boiled eggs. Parking is available for a fee, but is very limited.

I came for a medical training in September 2022. - Bad customer service. Dubious practice on room rates. When I first booked in June, I was told I could book with a preferential rate from the training organiser. It turned out the preferential rate was more expensive than booking at the hotel directly (you get 15% discount if you stay more than 3 nights). I called the hotel, and the lady in charge said they couldn’t do anything, she wouldn’t apply the 15% discount on top of the conference preferential rate. That seemed fair to me, as I understand hotels lost a lot of business during the pandemic and tried to balance the finances. At that time I booked a room with 2 queen beds but I wasn’t sure if my husband and son would join, so I declared it would be for 1 adult only. In September, I contacted the hotel and asked to update the room occupancy to 2 adults and 1 child. THEY CHANGED the room rate and rose the price (instead of less than $1000 for 4 nights, it went to $1300!). When I asked why, they said bc I changed the booking, so they update to the new rate at the time of the change. It is still exactly the same room! I don’t mind paying more in taxes bc more people stay in the same room, but changing the rate, when they knew I was part of the conference and wouldn’t change hotel, was a bit lame… I called the same conference lady and asked if I could revert back to the conference rate. She said no, bc the conference rate has expired and she wouldn’t give it as a commercial gesture because she gets commissions on the bookings… what a bad customer service! Not sure if it was done on purpose, the room I got was a room just outside the elevator, so noisy… And we checked in, the 2 people in front of us complained very loudly about the hotel… - Room not clean and missing toiletries The beds and pillows were comfortable. They didn’t have a duvet cover, but 2 flat sheets… the duvets and the pillows were yellow from stains. The bedside tables were dusty. Carpets dirty (not the same colour, although the same patterns, as the ones in the corridors). In the bathroom, there were only soap bars, no shampoo or conditioners. I only got them because one morning, I saw a cleaning lady in the corridors and asked if she had any shampoos etc. To my surprise, she did and gave them to me. - Conference rooms neglected We had tea/coffees and pastries in the morning of the first day… but they were not refilled after lunch or the days after… unless we asked. And even after asking, we wouldn’t get hot water for tea… The toilets near the conference rooms either had missing hand soap or missing paper towels to dry your hands…. I get it that the hotel wanted to save money after being under occupied during the pandemic… but for a 4 star hotel, I expected better and better customer service. The hotel is well located, in the city centre… but I won’t be back if I have to come to another conference in Montréal.

Don't recommend this hotel. This hotel doesn't even deserve 1 star, should be -5 (negative 5) out of +5 (positive 5). Unless you plan to pay a high price for a ”slump” experience, look no further, this is it. My first time to Montreal and will not visit again because of terrible experiences in this hotel. Reasons: 1) Did not honor what's advertised. Expedia stated that it offers valet parking, but it's not. It's self-park. I would not have stayed in this hotel had it not listed ”valet parking” as part of package price. 2) Concierge staff, Mikal, provided unclear and vague information on garage entrance location. Had to ask three times before Mikal walked a bit further to point the side entrance. It's off the street, had he not pointed it out, I would have missed it. I did not see it when I drove by when arriving at the hotel. 3) Made no efforts in guarding customer confidentiality and data: Lack of clear boundary on who can and can't stand behind the front desk counter: This made me feel uncomfortable seeing how any staff, housekeeping, security, front desk, guest services, even manager, Tamara's friend could stand behind the front desk counter to look at any computers and customers' information and data. This could come across as careless handling of customer confidentiality and data. There were two boxes with customer room assignment and data at the counter, even guests in line would easily access if they want to. At one point, there wasn't any staff at the front desk or in the lobby, all gone, with guests waiting, which if they want, they could easily access customer info. The hotel staff don't seem to care. For example, when Tamara checking me, Carl, Jason, Axel, Mikal and Tarama's friend all came over to peek over Tamara's computer with my profile and data on the screen. 4) Lack of sensitivity and priority: Housekeeping Carl, Front Desk Staff: Axel, and Jason, Concierge: Mikal, Manager, Tamara, were all busy doing their own things. At one point, there were 12-15 guests in line with Jason working alone while other staff focusing on other tasks rather than checking in guests to clear the waiting line. 5) Tamara offered me an upgrade, which was a terrible upgrade. Gave me things I did not need and a run-down and dirty room full of issues: hairs all over, dented walls, dented refrigerator, dark room, dirty sinks, food residuals on the chair, dirty carpet, warm (not hot) shower temperature, dusty surface, dirty walls., lack of enough electrical outlet, and many more (recorded with videos). 6) Negative attitude by some staff such as Axel, accusing me being disrespectful and screaming at him when I was not. He hung up my phone call abruptly three times when I called from the landline to raise cleanliness issues after arriving the assigned room. Axel also did not practice active listening. When I called I was hoping they could help locate a clean chair. Axel did not wait until I was done talking by cutting me off saying, ”Jason, seems t

There is no breakfast on the front desk floor. You can order a semi-buffet for 29.9 Canadian dollars. You can squeeze the orange juice yourself (you don’t have to doubt the freshness). It is worth recommending that the front desk is very patient. The room that was arranged at the beginning was very dark. Said that the line of sight is not good and uncomfortable, and then waited for three minutes to change to No. 1608 with a good line of sight, which happened to be able to see the scenic spot No. 67. The room is really big, the toiletries are very good, and there are no slippers in foreign countries. Everyone Prepare yourself in advance, the overall evaluation is really super comfortable.

Positives first: the area felt safe, close, by car, to various restaurants and the Ikea store. Parking was convenient for our car and teardrop trailer. In walking distance, Boulangerie Ange offers amazing bread, sandwiches, quiches, desserts and more. The breakfast room in the lower level was busy but not too crowded. Coffee-meh, but served in real cups. The usual offerings of a hot buffet including the baked beans popular in Quebec. Absent were Yoghurt and peanut butter- cost cutting? The room was very clean and while the furnishings were dated they were very well maintained. The family owned chain is obviously investing in the property, making it more attractive for guests. Light sleepers may find the sound of the air conditioning annoying as it is extremely noisy. We finally turned it off. Toiletries and towels are basic and thin and the tissues dissolved on first blow! The price was reasonable though and overall I would stay again. Thank you to the friendly front desk staff who accommodated our request for a later checkout than their stated 11am.
