The long strike is well and truly over and everything was back to normal when I stayed. The staff are all very friendly and the foyer area is nice. The rooms are not huge but certainly large enough and the rooms clean and beds comfortable. The price was also fine. There is a great food court and shopping centre also... more

I have seen all of the previous comments about the effect of the strike . When we checked in the effect of the strike was clearly explained to us by the front desk .It would have been nice for the bar and restaurant to be open but it was no big deal for us .The staff serviced our room every... more

We were very disappointed with our visit to the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth. The hotel was on strike - which we were not made aware of when booking our hotel stay. My husband and I were away for a romantic anniversary weekend and were deeply disappointed to find out that the staff was bare bones; the pool, sauna, hot tub and... more

What a gorgeous hotel! We have stayed here so many times we can no longer count and each time it is exquisite. I have to say that reading some negative comments about the cleanliness during the strike (labour disruption while we were there) I never found a problem. Our room was made up every day with clean towels and things... more

This is my family's favorite hotel of all time. It's a beautiful hotel in downtown Montreal, in the heart of (in my opinion) the best city in Canada. This hotel is connected to the train station (across the way) through an underground tunnel. It's also connected to the underground city and Metro the same way. If the weather is bad... more

Excellent location right above train station. VERY convenient if taking AMTRAK back to New York City. Hotel workers were on strike, so there was no bellman to help with luggage and towels were located in the hallway by the elevator. Minor inconvenience. Excellent room with large beds, plenty of pillows and great big bathroom. Carpet was so "gushy" that I... more

A Holiday Inn masquerading as a 4 star hotel. Location (above the central train station) is the one and only redeeming factor of this hotel. Obnoxious and intrusive staff was rude and unprofessional. I would never again stay here and could never recommend it to others. A real disappointment in an otherwise enchanting city and country. more

I understand when you have labor issues that quality of service might decrease but the only person i was impressed with during my stay was the concierge. The front desk people were abrupt and due to the strike my room was not cleaned during my stay. It also was evident the cleaning stay did not clean the room based on... more

Stayed at the Fairmonth Queen Elizabeth for 2 nights in September, 2008. I felt bad crossing the picket lines to gain access to the lobby, but after flying through the night to Montreal, I just needed a room. The front desk staff were up front about the strike and gave us an opportunity to book somewhere else. We chose to... more
