First off, I have to thank all the people who have submitted their reviews on La Presidence Deluxe Apts.
After choosing Montreal as our vacation destination, the biggest headache was trying to find a place to stay. One that would be just as great as it looked in the pictures, clean, had a great staff and perfect location.
After going through what seemed like one million websites, I came across this hotel and decided to check tripadvisor for reviews. After reading all the reviews I went onto the hotel's website and tried to make a reservation and had some difficulties doing that, so I called their 800 # and was happy that the internet rate was honored even though my reservation was taken manually. I just had a really good feeling.
Five days later we headed to Montreal, upon arrival we checked in at The Crown Plaza reservation desk as both hotels share the same building. La Presidence occupies a few floors and has it's own elevator.
We occupied a 1 bed room suite which was located on the back of the 3rd floor. (We didn't mind). The suite was beautiful with a full kitchen which consisted of stove with a huge microwave on top, toaster, coffee maker, electric kettle and a refridgerator and all the necessary utensils, and I have to add that everything was clean and spotless.
There was a little breakfast nook for two, and the living room had beautiful drapes, a beautifully framed mirrow hung over the couch and there was a coffee table and television set and a leather armchair with ottoman (which every man needs)
The bedroom has a desk, a table and a television as well, and is separated by a set of french doors.
The bathroom was beautiful, spacious and had picture light over the bathtub (especially beautiful).
We liked the location because we could walk 10 mins to the beautiful restaurants or jump on the metro (which is right around the corner) to see other parts of this beautiful city.
I do not know a word of french, but I thank Valerie (the beautiful receptionist) who helped us with everything, from directions and understanding the metro system to giving ideas on great restaurants.
I'd also like to thank Martin (Manager) for his courtesy.

Folks if you're looking for a nice hotel that won't dissapoint, try this one.
We're still talking about it.

My husband was in 7th-heaven (he was thrilled). That meant a lot to me because he's the one who dots all the i's and crosses all the t's (an editor).

Just returned from a 7-night stay. While the Junior Suite with kitchen was well-decorated and roomy, there were a few problems. The bedroom had one oversized nightstand and one closet with four hangers for two adults to unpack into - not sufficient. The bathroom had no towel bars or hooks. The "large-screen" TVs are about 25" at the most.

Maid service consisted of a change of towels everyday and wiping out of the sink. No vacuuming or kitchen floor sweeping until after 7 days. What was strange was that the maid did clean the odd dish left in the sink, but we were provided with dish soap and sponge to do our own. Not so helpful. It would have been nice to have clean floors every couple of days.

Biggest disappointments: Upon check-out we were directed to the Crown Plaza front desk for refund of our GST. I thought - Gee, what a nice service. After handing over our hotel statement I was handed a receipt to sign and then informed that the refund would take two weeks. Upon closer inspection of the "receipt" I saw that I had just signed an irrevocable power of attorney authorizing some private company to take 20% of my refund. I had never heard of such a rip-off anywhere else in my travels in Canada. I hope no one else falls for this. Also we were charged $19CAD/day for parking in the attached garage that charges the public $15. If you won't be using a car everyday, refuse the additional charge when you check in and pay the garage directly for a $4/day savings. Not so sure I'd give La Presidence my business again.

My friends and I stayed here over Memorial Day weekend (2 nights). The location is convenient - metro stop right there and definitely away from the party atmosphere of Crescent/St Laurent. Self parking is a plus. Check in and out a little confusing - in at the Plaza desk (arrived after 6pm) but out on the La Pres side. Stayed in an Exec Suite - very roomy, fantastic kitchen with stove, fridage, real plates/utensils, etc. Nice to enjoy dinner in the dining area with friends before heading out on the town. Large bathroom - stained glass ligth over the shower was beautiful - and so nice to have good lighting IN the shower for once! Bedroom was very spacious with comfy bed (according to my friends) - however, don't plan on more than one night on the sofabed. Flat, hard pillows and a thin, uncomfortable mattress. That was the only disappointment. For the money, I would recommend to others whole heartedly (just don't count on the sofabed for sleeping space).

I think this hotel is very very nice. It is on the first 6 floors of the Crowne Plaza Montreal. You have a little side entrance that gives the feeling of a botique hotel. We stayed on the 5th floor with a view of not downtown, but of a little Cathedral and the Metro, nothing exciting, but not to bad. The rooms are very nice, with a kitchen, big refridgerator, lovely light in the shower, opening windows, a ton of English/French TV channels, nice high speed internet, a amazing breakfast buffet(pricey), and super super close to the Metro.

The huge drawback is it is not that close to the Cresent street parties and clubs. If you want to be next to these and stumble drunk in to your room at wee hours of the morning, then this is not the place to stay, but if you need a nice room, that is not near any traffic and is a five minute ride to Cresent, then stay here.

If anyone cares, it is about 15 minutes to get to Circuit Gilles Villenueve, which isn't bad at all, so if you are looking for a good prices GP hotel next year, then this is a nice place to stay.
