I am not sure this made it to the list - so I am resending. Sorry if you end up with two copies.... For those interested I have found a few cheaper/personalised alternatives to the Hilton. The following are in the Small Hotel or B&B market, I have never been to Montreal and so cannot recommend any but i thought i would share my research. I am also happy to get feedback from anyone who can add to this. There are few that appear to be within short walk of the Hilton. http://www.bbselect.com/countryinns/canada/quebec/montreal/0009.htm and/or http://www.bonsmatins.com/english/default.htm - these look like the same place http://www.bbselect.com/countryinns/canada/quebec/montreal/0023.htm These two are small hotels in the old part of town (again, within walking distance). http://www.bbselect.com/countryinns/canada/quebec/montreal/0037.htm and/or http://www.bonaparte.com/en/index.html (rates highly with tripadvisor.com) - these look like the same hotel. http://www.bbselect.com/countryinns/canada/quebec/montreal/0031.htm For those who don't mind 2 stops on the subway, in what seems to be a more interesting/restaurants/nightlife part of town... http://www.bbselect.com/countryinns/canada/quebec/montreal/0028.htm http://www.montreal-bb.com/index.htm Anyone who may wants to really save then we might get a group booking (maybe between 3 and 5) for.. http://www.bellesvues.com/en/index.html or http://www.bestlodging.com/sites1/19053/index.shtml (if you are interested in this let me know) Finally, I have an email request in to... http://www.bbmontreal.qc.ca/index.html - who offer a brokering service for B&Bs, so they may come up with something.
