Fodor's Expert Review Springhill Suites by Marriott

Handy and quiet, with large rooms and underground parking—rarities in Old Montréal—this all-suites hotel attracts families, government employees, and business travelers who want standardized service in an old-world location.

Don’t brush off the free breakfast as a token jam-and-toast affair. It’s a deluxe offering, with hard-boiled eggs, an assortment of breads, cereals, yogurts and cheeses.

room

Thank you, West Elm. They helped make the recent room renovations a success, adding a cool wooden bench over the heater, modern desks and an overall boost in style. There are still microwaves and mini fridges in the suits, and dedicated work areas.

The rooms don’t exactly ooze sex appeal, so this is no place to mix business with pleasure. You are here for business.

bathroom

Efficient and smart looking, the bathrooms have glassed-in showers, dark wood accents, and square farmers sink. You’ll recognize the body products, by Paul Mitchel

lobby

Indoor fire pits? Yes, please! It’s hard to recognize the lobby after its recent renovation, with new circular area rugs, tiled floor, curvy wall dividers and pendant lighting. Even the reception is curved and paneled for style. The new mobile check-in is a convenient hit.

pool

Bring your swim trunks! There’s a saltwater pool and fitness zone with an inspiring nature mural. Kids are welcome here.

dining

Pioneers of the lobby market concept in Montreal, the Springhill Suites were the first to offer an advanced selection of frozen dinners, snacks and ice cream—instead of a full-on restaurant and room service, which pushes up the room rates. Craving some Sriracha popcorn or Cake in a Jar? Get it, and more, at the 24-hour lobby market. You’ll also find frozen dinners, flatbreads and salads.
