RECOMMENDED. Always a fan of Courtyards for predictable quality. This ~ 1-year old property does not disappoint. A modern multi-story facility directly connected to the Suites hotel next door. Decor is modern. All facilities in excellent solid condition. Checkin fast n' friendly. Room quiet despite location next to Trans Canada highway. Rooms well laid out with contemporary styling. Bedding exceptional. Bath area well illuminiated and with bit more style than old gen Courtyards. Easy highway access, this is an industrial area, downtown 15-25 minutes away. Overall - one of the best Courtyards in my experience.

We recently attended with our sports team to a tournament in Montreal. Everything was arranged by telephone and from the moment we got there the facilities and service were top notch.
The staff were friendly and knowledgable. The check in with a large group went very quick as the hotel was organized and were waiting for us. The staff were always available to help us out. They provided a free room to store our equipment. The rooms were excellent and the price was more than affordable. Travelling all over Canada to numerous tournaments and over the various years this would rate as the best hotel we have ever used.

The previous reviewer gave an excellent detailed overview, so not too much to add for description. This is definetely best suited if you have business in the area or are looking for an airport (15 min travel time) hotel. If you are looking for city center, then stay in the center.

Yes it is new (I stayed in late Nov. '06) but I found the design, finish and detail well above average. Staff were very friendly and helpful, terrific rooms and I rate the gym well above average for this type of hotel, all brand new best-quality equipment. Only way to beat this would be a dedicated health club.

For an industrial type location, it is nice to be able to walk 10 minutes to shops, theatre and a variety of restaurants as I didn;t have a car rented (I could walk to our office).

Bonus to me was location, large rooms, free internet, large bathroom with large towells and lots of shelves, the great gym and a decent full breakfast available for a decent rate. I was on the north side and was very quiet. Missed a few more batroom amenities but that was minor.

The Courtyard Montreal Airport is a new, above average Courtyard that nevertheless follows the formula set by this Marriott chain.
LOCATION: About 10 minutes by Hotel van from the airport, 15 to 30 minuntes by car to Centre Ville(downtown) depending on traffic. In the Northwest corner of Montreal's St. Laurent neighborhood, which affords some facilities in walking distance despite the industrial office park location(see surrounding area below). The building is less distinctive looking than its picture(ie. bland modern).
LOBBY: High ceiling, off white tile foor, lighted panel photos of downtown and two attractive lounge areas all well lit give the lobby a clean attractive feeling with a slight touch of elegance. The restaurant(now breakfast and dinner), a small bar(no license yet) sit behind the main lounge and are more upscale than usually found at Courtyards.
Rooms: Elevator floor landings are reminiscent of full service Marriotts, hallways are bright with a multicolored modern carpet.
Rooms have deep blue carpeting with sperical silver design and some seafoam green, and a muted version of this green is reflected in the wallpaper-all and all, quite attractive. Floor to ceiling sheer curtains backed by a blackout curtain, and faux cherrywood furnishings round out the look. Bedding is the lastest in Courtyard bedding(a welcome change)-white comforters with foot mufflers, upscale linens. The beds are very firm but still have decent padding, though I liked the memory foam laden beds in the new Courtyard in Hershey, PA that I stayed in last December a whole lot better. Rooms have an alcove with a small refridgerator, and there is a flat screened but traditional TV. Rooms are a decent size, but 4 rooms per floor have an extended length adding a sofa to both the two queen bedded rooms and the king bedded ones.(these rooms are spacious). Ceilings on the 6th(top)floor have 10 foot ceilings, adding some spaciousness to even the traditional rooms(we stayed over our 7 days in all three versions of the 2 queen bedded rooms). Bathrooms are a decent size(if not large) but are attractive with faux tile floors and faux green marble in a number of places. Bath amenities are stingy, two small bars of soap, and a container each of shampoo and conditioner. An in wall air/heat unit with thermostat for each room. One room we stayed in had an unpleasant compressor noise from the AC, the other two rooms were fine. Only windows on the north side of the building open. Muted sounds from the hallways was the only noise we heard.
Hotel Amenities: There appears to be some room service. In the basement there is a decent sized heated pool and hot tub, a small excersize room, a childrens playroom and modern washers and dryers, all shared with the attached Residence Inn, as yet unopened when we were there. Off the lobby, there is a card key entry room with five PC's and a printer, and a bank of hook-ups for your laptop in one of the lounges, all free of charge.
There is a tiny store for snacks, etc.
Surrounding Area: None of it pretty, but a block away is an entertainment complex with a very comfortable multi-screen cinema(showing many American films), upscale Italian, SteakHouse and Chinese Buffet restaurants, a downscale breakfast and snack bar, and an Ok coffee house plus, I believe, some sort of nightclub. Across the street is McDonalds, a chain family restaurant and a chain Sports Bar. There is a pizza place behind the complex. A small block further is a mid-size indoor mall with 3 department stores. Our favorite place for breakfast, Chez Coras was a 10 minute walk thru parking lots or ask the hotel van to take you. Chez Coras is Canada's IHOP, but so much better!
Staff: Very pleasant, not always knowledgable and trying to get the new hotel off to a good start which was sometimes confusing for them and their guests. We always got a warm Bonsoir when entering the lobby. And, unlike other Courtyards, there was a bellman on hand to help with luggage. No concierge.
There is no Courtyard and no outdoor space you would like to spend time in.
One final warning-driving in Montreal can be difficult. Signs are universally only in French despite the bi-lingual billing of the city.
