Mont Shefford Kid friendly Vacations

Seamless check in at this spacious property in a hip section of Montreal. It was like being in French speaking Brooklyn.

Pas de stationnement, pas de moyen de rejoindre l’hébergement, j’ai écrit plusieurs messages sans réponse. Un courriel m’a été transmis 5 heures avant 16h avec les instructions. Messages automatiques seulement. J’ai appelé au téléphone à plusieurs reprises et aucune réponse… Finalement, l’appartement était très bien mais beaucoup de stress inutile.

The hotel is 5-star and fantastic. No question. The staff could not possibly have been kinder or more helpful. The room was spotless, if small, and the marble and quartz tiled bath was impressive. The location on the Golden Mile was unsurpassed as well. However, I reserved this short stay with my 10-yr old son kind of in a hurry, and there were some things I neglected to confirm. First is...there is no pool in the hotel. Wow. My son was SO looking forward to jumping in the pool the second we arrived after a long hot day of travel. Boo. As a result, and the staff was immensely helpful with this, we were forced to learn the local subway system, and buy tickets to a nearby water park. Unfortunately some kid fouled the pool an hour after we arrived and our day there was done. But again, the staff was great to help us navigate the adventure. Second, and it's just so pedestrian of us, but there was no mini fridge or even chest of dresser drawers in the room. I mean, there were a couple of small drawers but not what you expect. We dined extravagantly the first evening and hoped to save leftovers for the next day. Nope. [Yes, I could have asked the kitchen to refrigerate our box of haut cuisine...but come on.] The bougie class obviously travels differently from us plebs. So I get it. But next time it's the Marriott for me...get the amenities we pedestrians expect!

Front of restaurant hostess was rude, didn’t accommodate a simple request to have a drink outside and made it a point to say there was no seating by making an elderly couple move inside. The hotel manager didn’t assist, and let us leave and go elsewhere to have drinks. For a five store hotel they should provide said service not a 1 star.
