Hotel Hilton Montreal/Laval (Laval, Canada)

Frequent travellers to the city are accustomed to paying top dollar for a room. Those that want to save a significant amount on the room rate are encouraged to take the short commute to this superior-value suburban establishment that offers complimentary parking and Wi-Fi to save guests further.

Reviews are awash with examples attesting to the outstanding personnel for whom nothing is too much trouble. Friendly and flexible front-of-house receive much fanfare for their efficiency and perpetually upbeat attitudes. From check in till check out, rest assured you're in the most hospitable of hands.

Light-sleepers might approach this hotel with trepidation, situated as it is next to a busy freeway, but needn't worry, according to scores of well-rested reviewers. Rooms are well soundproofed against both outside and inside noise, leaving you to get the most from the much-loved beds and bedding.

While the newly renovated lobby and front-desk area is much-loved, guests still find some standard rooms dated and drab. Although undeniably comfortable, old-fashioned spaces are not to everyone's tastes and visitors welcome the news that an ongoing modernisation program has already begun addressing this issue.

Negative experiences at this hotel are fairly infrequent. Some disgruntled guests think breakfast ought to be complimentary and find food and beverage staff to be a little rude and unresponsive. Others think the location so far from downtown Montreal is an inconvenience. Such critical comments are thankfully rare.
