Thanks for the tip!! We are staying at the Delta in two weeks, so we'll hope for the best. If it comes to it, we don't mind making our own bed, and can certainly live for two days without the room being cleaned...

There haven't been any news reports at all that I can find since last weekend's strikes. It appears it was something of a "warning shot" by the union, and having made their point, they are laying low for now.

Still, the news reports from last week quote union officials as saying that any future strike-oriented tactics will be sudden and unpredictable, in order to prevent hotel management from being able to take steps to prevent disruption of services. Travelers to Montreal would do well this summer to be prepared for possible disruptions.

My sister works at the Sheraton Center Downtown Montreal. She told me that the Unions representing of all the hotels you mentioned came to an agreement with the employer except for the Hotel Reine Elizabeth-which is still on strike I beleive.

I've been at the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth since Friday the 18th. Workers walked out on the 19th, supposedly returned the next day. I say supposedly because we did not get our room cleaned until that evening after multiple calls. Everything is back to normal now though. Today's Gazette reports that only the Hyatt is still on strike. Management here at the Fairmont did a great job actually in keeping things going.

We are staying at the Hyatt in 10 days. How do you go about finding out if they are still on strike?

You could check our daily newspaper:

just type - hotel strike - in the search

Thank you so much, MomOfTravelers, for the link. I will check it every day as I do not want to get stuck in a hotel without housekeeping, services, etc.

I think the Delta is still on strike. It's on my way home from work and I always see employees protesting (peacefully) on the front lawn. No idea if it is a full strike though.

Thanks for the update. I have been using the link to the Montreal Gazette to check on the strike, but they are not reporting any new news. I just got an email from the Hyatt informing me that their workers and many others are still on strike and that it is affecting their housekeeping and other services. I had made a new reservation at the Fairmont, but that is one of the hotels the Hyatt mentioned on their email as also having sriking workers. We want to stay at a hotel where they are NO STRIKING WORKERS. Does anyone know which ones these are? Thanks for any help on this matter.
