Confederation Place - Hotel
Not very clean lots of hair from previous room users, mysterious fluids on the fabric walls. The duvets they have are just between two sheets so I'm guessing there's no get changed between people and are in contact with their bodies. Good location. Bantu box breakfast was better than some continental ...

Hochelaga Inn
Continental breakfast was fresh and had a decent variety. We would have liked more options for common allergens (ie dairy) but otherwise it was good. The room was comfortable. Only complaint is the slew of text messages during our 24 hour stay that I somehow signed up for.
