The non-smoking hotel has a bar/lounge and restaurant that serves breakfast and Italian cuisine and is open from 7:00am until 10:30pm. The hotel offers its guests free wireless Internet, as well as free high-speed wired Internet, in all its public areas and rooms.

The hotel's 154 rooms and suites all come with a fridge, coffee-maker, hairdryer, cable TV with pay movies and a desk. The hotel's junior and executive suites are located on the top floors of the hotel and offer additional amenities such as a living room with a pull-out couch and HDTV.

The hotel is located in Montreal's Latin Quarter district, an area with many bars and restaurants, and is close to several Montreal attractions. St. Denis Street, popular for its restaurants and bars with outdoor terraces, is within five minutes walking distance, as is the popular shopping area of St. Catherine Street, as well as the Gay Village. Old Montreal, Chinatown, and the Old Port are all an approximate 15 to 20 minute walk from the hotel (all distances and travel time estimates: Google Maps).

The hotel restaurant received a few compliments from reviewers for being good value for money and offering a healthy and affordable breakfast. 

Many reviewers mentioned that the hotel was in need of updating and that it looked old. There were a few comments about the the hallways being dirty and the carpets stained. Many reviewers excused these factors by comments about the hotel being  "basic but cheap" and that "you get what you pay for". 

The hotel's parking lot, at $17/day was mentioned a few times as not having enough space for cars. A few reviewers noted that there was a parking lot next door for a slightly lower price ($10/day and $15 for overnight).

Some guest reviewers also found the hotel loud, with many complaints about large groups of students staying in the hotel. Some guests reported being disturbed at night by "noisy teens" in neighbouring rooms or the hallways. One reviewer commented that it is "the hotel of choice for inexpensive group accomodation". This was seen as positive for guests travelling in large groups, but less so for guests that wanted a quiter hotel experience. Some guests said that hotel staff were helpful when they requested room and floor changes due to noise, but a few reviewers found staff were not very attentive in meeting these requests. 

Although the hotel restaurant received some compliments for quality and affordability, a few guest reviewers commented that they would have appreciated an included breakfast. 

Some reviewers commented that the immediate area surrounding the hotel was a bit unpleasant, and that there were some homeless people in the area, although none reported feeling unsafe or threatened.
