Staying at Montcalm Brewery was an enjoyable experience overall, with the charm of a historic building paired with comfortable amenities. The staff were really good and attentive, however, the dated windows posed some issues with temperature and noise insulation. My room was well-equipped, but a few minor maintenance hiccups arose that needed attention. Still, I'd gladly return for the warm atmosphere and central location.

Rooms

My room was spacious and equipped with modern amenities like a flat-screen TV and a mini bar. However, the windows let in drafts and noise from outside, which was a bit bothersome, especially during the snowstorm. A couple of minor repairs like a blocked sink were addressed quickly, but for the price, I expected a bit more comfort without these issues.

I had a wonderful stay at Montcalm Brewery, where the staff truly made the experience special. The personalized touches for our wedding anniversary were good, including a handwritten note and chocolates. However, I found the breakfast lacking, as it didn’t meet the expectations of a 5-star hotel. Overall, the charm of the hotel and its fantastic service made up for these shortcomings.
