Best Western Montreal Airport Hotel

GETS THE JOB DONE
The Best Western Plus Montréal Airport Hotel is not swanky. It is not fancy. It has more similarities to a motel than a hotel. However, it gets the job done if the job is having a relatively functional, clean, affordable property that is very convenient to the airport.
I was in Montréal (sadly…sad for it only being a single day… though I did have time for a great dinner downtown with my colleagues) for but a single day (overnight stay) business trip. I had the ‘wonderful’ fortune of leaving ORD at 6am one day then departing YUL at 6:50am the next (and this travel started just hours before one of the late Spring 2016 «blizzards» roared across the Midwest and Northeast… and involved a delayed connection in LGA! Yuck!). This is germane because I was EXHAUSTED when I finally got to the hotel and I simply needed a place to relax for a few hours peacefully before heading back out. The Best Western Plus Montréal Airport Hotel helped me achieve this goal in spades!
Albeit an abbreviated night, I slept very soundly. The room and property overall seemed very quiet and/​or the rooms were well insulated from sound. The bed was reasonably comfortable and the other room amenities were acceptable. The internet code that I was provided did not work. I figured that this was because I checked in right around midnight and that, perhaps, the code had transitioned at the turn of the clock. I really needed to be sleeping instead of checking emails so I let it go (I was provided with a replacement code the next morning that did work in the lobby while I was awaiting the shuttle over to the airport). The bathroom was adequate though, again, a bit more «motel-​ly» than «hotel-​ly». The room itself was way too hot for my liking when I arrived and, like many properties, it seemed that you may be limited to the «temperatures of the season» (i.e., no «air» in the winter). It did not seem that a window could even be cracked to help but by setting the temperature as low as it would go in «heating» mode I was able to adapt (exhaustion helped).
They do offer a complimentary breakfast but I was not able to partake in this as it starts at 6am and, being a nervous international flyer, I had to catch the 4:30am shuttle. Shuttles run on the half hour and seem very reliable though the driver provided no information: I had never been to YUL before so I had no idea if there was a difference in domestic versus international terminals so I simply «followed the crowd» as everybody seemed to get up at our first stop.
I would not recommend the Best Western Plus Montréal Airport Hotel if enjoyment of a lavish property is part of my needs for a trip. However, it is a solid bet for a very affordable bed for the night. So, if you need a simple room for the night and easy YUL access, I highly recommend the Best Western Plus Montréal Airport Hotel.

The second time around at this hotel I’m going to give them an upgraded rating.
The parking issues weren’t the same as last time as I was able to park at the front and while it was raining the day I was there there weren’t any floods going on like last time.
The hotel is well kept and the rooms are nice as I remember from last time. The staff here from the front desk to the restaurant as very friendly and accommodating.
I especially like the restaurant on the lower level as both for breakfast and dinner I’ve been treated well each time.
The room with a king bed is spacious and seems larger than a typical ~500 sq/​ft room. Either way the furnishings are good, the bed is comfortable and the bathroom has a vent which many these days don’t seem to have I’ve noticed.
For the price compared with other hotels around the airport this one seems to be the best bang for the buck again.
I’ll choose to stay at this hotel when I’m requiring to stay in the west island or near YUL again.

This hotel was very nice inside. The staff was down to earth. Did a late check in and the guy hooked me up with a late check out even when he said it wasn’t available. For the deal I got it was worth it!

Was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. We normally stay at Quality Inns. Our room was very comfortable and spotless!. No weird smells. A nice little coffeemaker and fridge was useful. The most impressive thing about this hotel is the staff. The moment you enter the lobby you are greeted with warm smiles and a «Welcome home ! «attitude. The front desk staff, that we were in contact with (Jessica, Lucija, Shakira and Walter) are wonderful !!! They made sure we got all the help we needed and we needed lots of help. They are definitely keepers!
Joanne (housekeeper) did a great job in our room. We also enjoyed our strawberry crepes and coffee, Line and Raouf (dining room staff) made sure about that. They do a great job !. Now, on our last day at the hotel, we ate breakfast again. We were treated courteously and efficiently by Farida, Denis and Melissa .
Hope I didn’t leave anyone out. The staff, at this hotel, are a great team!!!

Was on a road trip to the States for work, drove all night and into the morning and felt too sick to continue. Checking out hotels nearby and found this Best Western across from the Pierre Elliott Trudeau airport. Received a discounted CAA rate of $ 98.00 for one night; included king sized bed, free WiFi, free parking and complimentary breakfast. Cleanliness is everything for me and this hotel definitely had it. Was concerned of the noise level since this is across from the airport, but I passed out and didn’t even notice planes taking off in the air nearby. I was dead tired anyway.
Couldn’t find anything nearby in terms of food so I went to sleep without dinner, room service prices seemed extremely overpriced for me. Planned on saving room for the free breakfast and I must say I was very disappointed. Expected much more in terms of portion size as half my plate was empty.
Ordered two eggs, whole wheat toast with potatoes and tea. Very small portion of eggs to call it two and the potatoes were bland. Also included a minuscule slice of orange and pineapple on the side of the plate. Some items required diners to add $ 5 for like omelettes, crepes, etc. Doesn’t sit well with me being nickle and dimed since I’ve already downed $ 100 for the room the night before. IKEA’s breakfast is $ 1 and their portions are actually more than this hotel breakfast, frankly I find that slightly ridiculous and embarrassing or the hotel.
Lastly, my waitress wasn’t very welcoming when I was seated, before I even ordered she mentioned that tips are not included. I’ve dined before in restaurants, you have to earn the tip for me to give it. If I’m in the Dorval area in the future, I’ll be looking for a different hotel.

Prices decent, indoor pool a tad small and room had a very strong chemical smell, customer service mostly pretty good, and value for the money also very good.
M’lady and I were spending the night in Montréal, and I was looking for a hotel with a pool for a decent price. This one caught my radar, and since I’ve mostly had positive experiences with the brand, after reading a few of the reviews for it, I reserved a room at it.
I didn’t have any issues finding the hotel with all of the road changes as compared to the maps on my car’s GPS, however leaving there in attempt to get to the nearest gas station, we ended up going in circles several times until I switched to one of the navigation applications on my cell phone.
The guy at the front desk who checked me in initially gave me the receipt for someone else, and since I was so tired, I didn’t realize that the top part of the form I was signing was supposed to have my information at it. Since the price was more than what I had on my reservation, I was able to catch that, and the attendant at the front desk corrected that accordingly, and printed the correct form for me and charged me the correct amount.
As soon as we entered the room, we noticed a very strong chemical smell. We were so tired, that we decided to just let it be, and went to bed. We were surprised at how quiet the room was however, considering the hotel’s right next to both a train track and an airport.
In the morning, we went to the included breakfast, which had a very decent selection. What seemed to be the main server didn’t switch to English when I was trying to change our order for the eggs to medium well done, since I couldn’t think of the right word in French for that, which I really liked (in my experience, most usually when they see any small flaw in my French in Montréal, they automatically switch to English, however I like practising my French).
We went to visit the pool, which wasn’t very large. It had an interesting showed with what seemed to be fresh water coming down, at one side of the pool. The water was a tad chilly, but after swimming for a bit, we got used to it. There was no hot tub, which is odd, as all the other Best Westerns I’ve been to that had a pool also had a hot tub, but either way no big deal.
All-​in-​all, while there was some room for improvement in my experience at his venue, I still see myself returning to it when in the area.

I liked this Best Western Plus Montréal Airport Hotel although it #6 of the 8. It was clean & comfortable but not quite the first night. We had to change rooms because of equipment noise. There was something going on with the hot water, as there wasn’t any most of the time. The staff were very friendly & apologetic. We drove into town, chose this one for the free parking & the breakfast. Every day you had to pickup small cards that got you your made to order breakfast. Unique as different. I would come back again as the beds were comfortable & the amenities just OK. The parking was a challenge at times. I think they had park & fly promotion going on. The Staff were very thorough with the cleanliness, accommodating & friendly. Which was to our liking. Well done BW.

Great staff, excellent price for great rooms. Comfy bed, really good included breakfast, nice little pub, free airport shuttle. Only beef was single elevator was slow and needed a brake job. This will be my new go to hotel in the area.

Hôtel correct, proche aéroport mais sans nuisance sonore. Chambre simple avec lavabo dans entrée. Pour le prix cela pourrait être mieux, et un peu moins étriqué. Seul intérêt service navette aéroport sympathique et efficace. C’est un lieu utilitaire et il né faut pas en attendre plus.

I have stayed in plenty of Airport hotels and they are all pretty much the same. Expensive beer, clean but beat up rooms, and that smell (if you have been to an airport motel you know what I am talking about). This hotel is pretty much the same. Wifi is free and they provide a good bed so what more do you really need. Breakfast was good but kind bland as one would expect. If you need to catch a flight in the morning this is a good hotel, if you are looking for a vacation destination you should head somewhere else.

So I stayed here for a business trip I took to Montréal. The hotel was clean I loved their free breakfast. I did not like their restaurant. Food was not good and it was overly priced. If you are up to walking about 5 minutes. There is a convenient store (maxin I think its called) near the traffic circle, there is also a subway, a bar, a Chinese buffet, and a gas burger joint. So walking distance there are a lot of alternatives for food.
Overall, great experience and great hotel to stay in. Staff are also really friendly.

Not bad. I had never stayed at a Best Western «plus» before, but was pretty pleased. It was a step above the normal flea-​bags that line highways.
I came in super late for the night at about 4am and was only planning to stay for a few hours until my rental car facility opened. Thank goodness for hotel vouchers, boo on you flight delays!
So I stumble in, can form coherent words, but the staff was very helpful. It took a bit of time to get things processed (but then again, it probably just seemed like forever) but then I was on my way to my room.
The lobby was very nice, elegantly decorated. The rooms, were just fine though. Nothing special, but decent, and definitely served my purposes well. The hallway to my room was very long too, which was a bit annoying, but hey, whatever.
In the morning, I had free breakfast that was pretty good too. It was an upgraded continental, and again served my purposes quite well.
The courtesy airport shuttle is also very helpful, and it runs regularly.
While I do not plan to be getting stuck at the Montréal airport again, if I do, I know where I can get a decent bed.

AVOID!
I had a reservation for a non-​smoking room and they gave me the run around saying they were full and «upgraded» us to a smoking room suite. This room was so putrid it made my fiancé extremely nauseous. After much «discussion,» they found another room to put us in that wasn’t as bad.
Upon checkout, I found that my original reservation was canceled and the prices I agreed upon were inflated by 25% (which is not fun when you have a budget set for your trip). I asked about it and then received a snippy comment from the guy behind the counter and said to call his manager if I had an issue. And then he slammed the business card down in front of me.
I’m contacting Best Western right now to see about their company policies regarding pricing, room switching, and dishonesty.
