Verified traveller

Disliked: Staff & service
Hello. I wanted to provide some feedback about my trip this weekend and stay at Renaissance Montreal Downtown Hotel. On June 21, 2025 while trying to nap in my hotel room, the television automatically turned on and was extremely loud at around 430pm. I confirmed that this also happened to a friend who was staying at the property, and also woke him up. I'd like to suggest that housekeeping mute the volume on the TVs so this does not happen in the future. Following this, once I fell back asleep, a staff member knocked on my door DESPITE having the Do Not Disturb sign on my door handle. This was to inform me that the hotel would not have power that night from 12am to 6am and I was provided a glow stick. Also, the room was extremely hot because of the power outage and disrupted my sleep, and my phone did not charge overnight. I have never had to complain in the past about staying at a Marriott property in the past, but considering the poor service on this occasion, I would appreciate some sort of compensation. Thanks in advance, David Knox 647-987-3793

Average for this kind of hotel though good location for walking to local attractions, old port and Mount Royal. Carpets needed renewal or good clean. Air con constantly going on and off and noisy. Shower was dripping on arrival and fire alarm went off on one night of stay- a bit chaotic.

The hotel is in a nice and safe location in downtown Montreal, and very close to some of the attractions. Lots of cafes and restaurants are nearby. Check-in was quick and the staff is very professional. The corner loft room was spacious with a nice sized bathroom. My only negative feedback would be - 1. Not enough drawers in the room 2. Netflix was very slow and had a delay in loading or didn't load subtitles at all 3. The window curtains are not motorized and it is not always convenient to open/close the curtains especially behind the TV console.

I felt this property has slipped since I was there last. Not as clean and staff not as helpful. I also told them I smelled cigarette smoke coming out of the vents in my room thru the night. I have stayed many times there but will be moving on my next trip to somewhere else.

The property was lovely, the restaurant was very good. But for many of the rooms (both sides of my corner suite), the only view is a brick wall barely ten feet out the window. It is dark and feels rather prison-like in that respect.
