Boxotel offers incredible value for money! The rooms are very reasonably priced, especially given the amenities, which include a full kitchen (complete with a dishwasher) and a stacked washer/dryer. We stayed in a room with a Murphy bed that folded into a couch and a desk that could extend into a table. I was thoroughly impressed by how many thoughtful features were packed into the space! The bed was exceptionally comfortable, and the high-quality linens were a nice touch.
My only complaints are minor. The spa was closed during our stay due to maintenance, and no breakfast options were available in the morning as advertised. However, I imagine this could be due to the quieter winter season with fewer guests, so I don't hold it against the hotel.
The location is another big plus! It's within walking distance of all the most exciting parts of Montreal. That said, one thing to note is the lack of free parking for guests. There's a lot directly across the street that charges 20 CAD for 24 hours, which seemed safe and convenient. Unfortunately, we discovered later that an AirTag had been placed inside our car’s mirror at some point during our stay—a common car theft tactic in Montreal, from what I’ve read. Thankfully, we left before anything happened, but it’s something to be cautious about when parking in the area.
Overall, Boxotel is a fantastic choice for its price, amenities, and location. I’d definitely stay here again, with a few precautions in mind!
