St. Paul was suggested to us by a friend in Montreal and I stayed there over the Labor day weekend.  \n\nIt's on McGill street close to the river front/harbor and at the edge of the old city.  The building itself is fairly grand looking and at least during the weekend the street wasnt terribly busy or noisy. There are a bunch of cafe's restaurants very close by.  We had our car so didnt depend on public transport but used the public bike system extensively and loved it.\n\nThere is a bar/restaurant in the lobby that was VERY loud when we got in late night but in spite of our suite being on the 3rd floor right on top of the bar, we couldnt hear a thing (and i am very noise sensitive).\nAs the previous review said, its done up in a very contemporary style, which i mostly like although some of the furniture in the bedroom seemed a bit Ikea'ish.  \n\nThe staff was very nice and like everyone else in Montreal, completely bi-lingual.  They gave us a very good suggestion for brunch (a place down the street, Cortet) and I saw them giving others suggestions for dinner.  \n\nIn the room, they had 3 complementary water bottles and a medium sized box of chocolates and that was in addition to the nice weather report and chocolates left every night.  \n\nWe also had the free breakfast our last day there.  Although it was fairly simple \"continental\" breakfast, everything was very fresh and attractively laid out.  I wish the staff would come and serve the coffee/tea on the table though.  The bread was delicious.  \n\nThe two things that can be improved.  The room felt quite stuffy and you can't open the windows.  It wasnt even hot outside.  The AC fan didnt seem to come on.  And my other issue was with the housekeeping.  The bathroom wasnt, as my friend calls it, clean Swiss style (The dirty wash cloths were still in the tub).  The room was cleaned well though. \n\nIn summary, i liked the hotel very much and would stay there again any time.
