text: For a belated birthday present, my best friend Wendy took me on a Canadian weekend to Montreal. She booked our accommodations here at the Chateau De L'Argoat, a Victorian-European boutique hotel. The establishment has only twenty five rooms, ranging from generally accommodating to very posh, and their prices are quite reasonable. \n\nOur room was painted a light blue on the second floor, with a view of the Montreal cityscape from the rear of the building. Canadian movie and art posters tastefully adorned the walls. There is a subway station only two blocks away, which was quite convenient. They do have a small parking lot, but its very tight. We parked our car there, and used the subway or walking for our travels \n\nThe staff here is great - very friendly and helpful, and excellent at giving directions. A continental breakfast is provided every morning in the coffee room, with warm baked goods, bananas. oranges, and breakfast beverages. The maple muffin was exceptionally good. There are also several good beer houses and restaurants within walking distance. \n\nDISCLAIMER: I visited here in January of 2008, but my experience here was so good, that I felt compelled to write a review, even though its been a year. The next time I am in Montreal, this is the ONLY place I will be staying.
