After flying in from Washington, DC and Toronto Pearson, I made my way to the Fairfield by Marriott Montreal Downtown. This hotel was the most affordable Bonvoy option I could find for a hastily pulled together trip, but I was pleased with the stay and would recommend this spot again.

Overview

Built in 1986, this hotel features 154 rooms across 10 floors. Located on the edge of . I’d classify this as a Midscale / Essential property. In other words, this isn’t an Motel 6, it’s got plenty of premium comfort to offer.

Arrival & Check-In

The check-in process was easy; I was simply asked for my passport and credit card and was provided my keys.

Room & Features

Today I received a two queen bedroom.

Across from the first bed, you’ll find built-in space to lay your luggage. Next to that, you’ll find your coffee machine and ice bucket.

Under the coffee machine, you’ll find a minifridge and safe.

In the closet, you’ll find an iron, ironing board, and hangers.

The restroom is pretty modern, with great mirror lighting and few amenities.

The restroom also had a walk in shower, which I generally appreciate more than a shower/tub combo.

Dining

The hotel has a breakfast buffet that runs Monday through Friday from 6:30AM to 9AM, and from Saturday to Sunday from 7AM to 9:30AM.

While I didn’t have a chance to check out the buffet, it seems more akin to what you’d expect at a U.S. Fairfield.

Amenities & Facilities

Amenities include a fitness center, on-site laundry, and a meeting space.

Fitness Center

The fitness center is pretty basic, and has cardio and weights on offer.

Location & Accessibility

The Fairfield by Marriott Montreal Downtown is located at 1199 Rue Berri in the Quartier des Spectacles. It is about a two-minute walk from the Berri-UQAM metro station, and it sits right around the corner from the shopping and dining areas of Sainte-Catherine and Saint Denis streets. Tourist destinations like the Old Port of Montreal, Place des Arts, and the Montreal Convention Centre are all within a 10 to 15-minute walk.

Final Verdict: Fairfield by Marriott Montreal Downtown Review

My stay here was solid. This Midscale / Essential hotel meets your needs at slightly more affordable (but not by much) margins. The rooms are comfortable, the service is fine, but the location is the best aspect of the hotel. Being in such close walking distance to great restaurants and attractions is a major plus. Montreal is a very walkable city, but even if you’re not big on walking, the nearby metro station and bus stops (including the direct public bus to the airport) make this a good choice for anyone visiting Montreal.

Overall Rating: 7.75/10
