This place is listed on here 3 times - as this one had the most reviews, I decided to post here. \n\nI LOVE B&Bs that don't feel like B&Bs. The traditional B&Bs are run out of someone's house - meaning shared bathroom and awkwardness in mingling with people you have no desire to be BFFs with. Auberge Les Bons Matins feels more like a hip hotel than a B&B. We fell in love with it immediately. \n\nFirst off, the fellow at the desk was really friendly and helped us hunt for parking, as that was unsuccessful, we opted to \"cough up\" the $11 CAD and park in the little lot out behind. The sarcasm is that parking in Montreal is EXPENSIVE and we easily paid $40 elsewhere on a previous trip. So this was worth it - not only was the price right but it was gorgeous back there and I'm sure our car was happy with the scenery. It truly felt like we were in the suburbs and not downtown Montreal. \n\nWe had a beautiful room - stayed in Suite 705. Super clean and beautifully decorated. The trains did start rumbling in the morning at about 6 am but we were not far from waking up anyway so it was not a big deal. My only gripes about the room were this - 1) the toilet was on the other side of a glass door with a sheer white curtain. We're not really into having a 'shared' bathroom experience so opted to leave the room if the other was in it. That might just be us. 2) VERY creaky bed!!!! Forget relations - I think the whole building would have heard. The mattress wasn't a good quality one either - I'm not fussy but this one was definitely on the low end. \n\nThe location is amazing - only a couple of blocks to bustling St Catherine Street and I could literally throw a rock and hit the metro. This proved really handy - we left our car and simply hopped the metro to the show and dinner we planned for that night.\n\nBreakfast was wonderful and quite friendly. Best dang waffle I think I have ever had... \n\nAll in all, this place is a gem and perfect for couples! Highly recommend it for your next trip to Montreal!
