Fodor's Expert Review Delta Montréal

Government employees and jazz festival performers cycle through the Delta regularly, enjoying over-sized rooms view glorious views of the mountain or downtown.

Despite the hotel's location in the heart of the festival zone, it's pin-drop quiet. You can sleep! Plus, there's free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel and in the rooms.

room

At long last, all the room are renovated. The white bedding has a colourful runner at the end of each bed, plus a matching accent pillow. There are smart desks with generous connectivity panels. As always, the Delta has impressively large rooms.

YOU SHOULD KNOW You have to ask for a mini-fridge.

bathroom

There is counter space galore! What a treat. The long, white counters are a luxury, as are the fluffy white towels, dark wood accents, and glass showers. Most rooms have tubs.

lobby

Don't judge the room decor by the hotel's lobby--which is bland. However, the wide-open space makes it easy to meet up with large groups of people. Also, reception is spacious and friendly.

Check-in and check-out is a delight. The Delta is known for its exceptionally friendly, professional and attentive staff in Montreal.

pool

There's a salt-water pool, even though it isn't advertised on the hotel's web site.

YOU SHOULD KNOW The pool hours are limited: usually from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m., subject to change.

dining

The family-friendly Resto-Bar Le Cordial provides classic breakfasts (hot or continental) at off-putting prices, as well as more moderately priced lunch and dinner. While the food is decent, don't bother. You're in a city with a food scene. Eat out!

YOU SHOULD KNOW Attention all late-night grazers, the room service menu is quite limited and even those offered are "depending on availability."
