ECONO LODGE, Montreal

The hotel sits directly at the Berri-UQAM transport hub, giving fast metro access across Montreal and a 2-minute bus ride to the airport via route 747. Old Montreal is 1 km south, and Lafontaine Park is 750 metres north. The Gay Village is 800 metres away. The street is busy and can feel lively, especially during events. Parking is across the street in a secure public garage. Several supermarkets, cafés, and casual restaurants are within a 5-minute walk.

Rooms include a private bathroom with hairdryer, cable TV, telephone, safe, wardrobe, and carpeted floor. Some rooms have a fridge. Air conditioning is central; in warmer weather, portable fans are provided. Rooms are compact and basic in style. Corridor and room-to-room soundproofing is limited, so rooms away from the lift and stairwell tend to be quieter. Beds are comfortable, though bed size (double or queen) should be confirmed at booking. No balcony, coffee maker or microwave in rooms.

The breakfast area is compact but provides a self-serve continental spread: yogurt, fruit salad, muffins, bagels, bread, cereal, cheese, and jam. Coffee and juice are available around the clock from a machine in the breakfast room. No restaurant or bar is on site. Several casual dining options are within a short walk, including pizzerias, a sushi spot, and a pub.

The hotel does not offer a spa, swimming pool, or gym. Lafontaine Park (750 metres) provides green space for walks. The central location gives easy access to parks, cultural venues, and the Old Port area for leisure activities.
