My room was at 63degrees all weekend. When I asked at front desj\k how get more heat, I was “sympathetically” told that it was not possible since hotel was on a single system. i find this hard to believe. Also, the ceiling lights in the living room was not working as well as the TV (which could very well be a lack of “how to” instructions. I will not be staying at this “luxury” accommodation again.

Well located but disappointing

First, Empire Suites and the LeLux hotel are the same place, just on different floors. It's in a good location, close to the Berri-UQAM Metro station and at the start of the gay village but walkable to the Quartier des Spectacles I splashed out and took a full suite, which was a waste: the sitting room had two chairs and TV, a place no one would want to spend time. And while there was a well equipped kitchenette, there were no dishes or cutlery -- bring your own. As well, the lamp beside the bed wasn't working and there was only one trash can in the whole place -- beside the toilet. I asked for another one, which did not appear. The free breakfast was basically cereal, toast or buns, not worth eating. Finally, the photos made the suite look much better than it was. In conclusion, this hotel seems to have big ambitions but poor execution. I wouldn't stay again.

Great location. Good food and dining nearby. Unfortunately construction and access was ridiculous with having to cross a plank to gain access. Yes it was a plank and it tipped up just like a pirate ship. Someone had to stand on the other end so you didn’t go flying off.

Avoid this hotel

The hotel staff was not helpful During our breakfast I saw a member of their cleaning stuff come and grab a croissant, she didn’t use the thongs, she used her bare hands The washrooms near the breakfast area were disgustingly dirty It was not a pleasant stay at all

One night was a good one

The staff are very good and welcoming. They were also helpful to get the pull out ready. Unfortunately our reservation said 1pm and the room was only ready at 3. The room was spacious, but the bathroom was dated and our toilet top did not fit the toilet. Still functional, but not nice to look at. The carbs (muffins, pancakes croissants) were delicious, but it was not a full breakfast. No meat, no eggs, no yogurt - these are stapples we're used to.

Security is lax

I guess the stay was as average as I expected. Indicated it was a 3 star place, seems fair. Sub par breakfast included. Only low quality bread, pancakes, and cereal. didn't see any fruit or yogurt. The place was safe enough, it was quiet enough. I appreciated that they let me leave my suitcase there before checking in and after but they didn't even check that I was staying at the hotel before they let me leave my stuff, and they didn't give me a ticket so anyone could have taken my stuff or I could have taken anyone else's stuff.

I made two bookings on back-to-back days with Empire Suites. Upon check-in, the front-desk staff told me I needed to pay an extra $300 for both my rooms overall (on top of a $250 security deposit), even though Expedia didn't show anything outstanding. When I tried to ask where the extra charge came from and why, I got no helpful answers or any explanations from the staff. The key cards were also unavailable for the first day, so we needed to be escorted to our room by staff. My 1st room was a Queen Bed w/ Sofa Bed on the top floor which was fairly nice and clean. The 2nd room was Standard 2 Double Beds on the lowest floor, and had stains on the bed and poor lighting. Bathrooms were decent/clean but toiletries were very minimal, and one of the rooms had a bathroom door that didn't lock properly. The room was on very cold AC settings, but seemed to be adjustable. Plenty outlet options, although the outlets on the lamp bases did not work. The TV channels did not work either. The breakfast did not seem to be high quality, and no staff checked for breakfast tickets either. There is one small elevator for the whole hotel. The front desk didn't always have two staff (sometimes none), and both before/during my stay, it was impossible to reach Empire Suites on the phone. The location is not on the best street, however it's close to metro stations and busy restaurant streets. Overall, not the worst experience, but definitely could have been much much better, so I would not recommend.
