bradm Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 We've stayed at the Econo Lodge Downtown, which isn't the best hotel, or in the best area, but is pretty cheap. Getting a room during the jazz fest might be tricky, though.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollie Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 For apartment-style hotels, check out La Tour Centre-Ville on Rene-Levesque Blvd. It's located a block south of St-Catherine and about 3 blocks west of St. Laurent. All rooms have kitchens and range in size from studio to large suite. I've stayed there many, many times and it's always served me well.http://www.hotelcentreville.com/eng/index.htmDon't forget to ask for discount rates if anyone in your group qualifies... e.g. government, CAA, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meggo Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 when i went up for jazzfest many moons ago we stayed at a [color:purple]fine establishment, called "la couronne" - "the crown". exactly which king it would be fit for i can't be sure, but what an interesting place! it was cheap and the location was good, i will say that. if you are going by yourself, i wouldn't recommend staying there. however, if you're going with friends who make you feel safe, definitely do! it's an experience. and if you stay in the room in the basement, check on the back of the painting on the wall.. we all signed the back of it one year.. hehehe.

Blane Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 you could always try the youth hostel near the old town as well. It's really well located and probably pretty cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairySari Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 About 4 years ago, I stayed at a place called Hotel Americain, I think it was on St Denis... not sure how close to all the action that is, but it cost us $60 a night for a room that four of us stayed comfortably in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
