Jake, since you inquired about accomodationsl, here is a list. I am posting it, (and I hope you don't mind) because it may be helpful for everyone.
I am going to post this list of places as a guide for accomodations, based on location and cost. If there is a possibility of splitting a room with someone else, it may cut expenses down. I wish I could accomodate everyone, but my place is not that big. 
Anyway, the suggestion I made earlier of Ruby Foo's does not have great reviews, even though it seemed okay to me, I have never stayed there. I am tried to look for hotels that are: convenient, inexpensive, and in safer areas.
Downtown - Accessible to Metro and close to city centre.
Hotel du Fort - Not in the heart of downtown, but as one reviewer said: "It is located in the middle of 3 metros--all within a few blocks. You can be in Old Montreal via metro in @10 minutes at the most."
L'Appartement Hotel - I don't know much about this place, but it is a good location, price, and reviews.
Novotel- Good reviews, location and price. Right in one of the trendy areas of town, near Cresent St.
West Island - Closer to airport (and my place) but also, accessible to downtown through nearby Metro Station.
Quality Hotel Midtown - I have been here either, but they are a pretty good chain with good prices. This would be a good alternative to Ruby Foo's. Also, they are Kosher, apparently.
La Sunset - Good reviews, good value, close to my place, but best for those with a car as it is not close to a Metro Station.
Ruby Foo's - I put this here because the reviews are funny. I regret ever reccommending this place, but who knows, maybe someone is feeling adventurous!
I hope that helps. Anything else I can help with, please do not hesitate to ask. |
