Better Hotel in Montreal, opinions please.
I am beginning to plan a trip to Montreal this Summer & have a ton of Best Western points I need to use. The only two properties that appear to be in a good location are the Hotel Europa (my 1st choice from what I see ) & the Ville-Marie Hotel & Suites. Any comments, comparisons & info are welcomed. I more concerned about location, than amenities.

I don't have any experience with either hotel so can only comment on location.
One is on Drummond just below Ste. Catherine
The other is on Peel near Sherbrooke
Really, they're both "equivalently located" to my eyes. Central in downtown Montreal. Near a lot of food courts, shopping, McGill University (Peel/Sherbrooke slightly better for this and walking up the mountain), both within easy walking distance of Peel Metro for seeing areas further afield.
In truth, the "downtown area" is not my favorite part of Montreal as I find the Mile End, McGill Ghetto, and Plateau neighbourhoods more charming, but I will grant that it's not a bad location: central, well-served as a result by transit and many tourists seem to appreciate for its hustle & bustle, shopping and proximity to Crescent Street nightlife.
Enjoy; my thought is between those two ultimately it really makes little difference as far as location is concerned.

I would agree they are both equal in terms of geography. I've stayed at the Europa and it suited our needs fine: to be centrally located to downtown shopping and public transportation.
