Review: Sheraton Montreal Airport
I had about 24 hours in Montreal, as I was arriving from Tunis on Tunisair in the evening, and leaving the following evening to Munich on Lufthansa. Given that I was tired as heck and was just planning on working, I decided to stay at the Sheraton Montreal Airport. The paid rate for my one…

one addition, the club charges for alcoholic drinks including beer and wine during the evening happy hours.
@Luke H - I'm there weekly, no they don't. Beer & wine are free in the lounge, but if you go to the restaurant or bar they are charged.
I'm a little confused. The floorplan shows a donut-shaped building with continuously curved hallways and four digit room numbers but the hallway pictures show straight hallways and your room number is three digits. Am I looking at it wrong or did the pictures get mixed from a different hotel?
@ Grant -- That's a great question. The map is definitely of the right hotel, but I think I was just in a weird wing that wasn't part of the main building, which is probably why I had to walk through the conference hall. Good observation, though.
That place was a Hilton for YEARS, then was a Wyndham for about 2 years before re-flagging to Sheraton maybe 5 years ago? I was surprised how quickly it cycled through the Wyndham flag. It still feels to me like it's a nice Sheraton in the public spaces with a low-end Hilton hiding in the rooms. It is actually quite lovely in the Winter, when the courtyard inside the "donut" is full of snow and they put up some lights etc. The new in-airport Marriott is far and away the best option at YUL.
Let me know if you 're interested in a visit of ICAO headquarters next time you're in Montreal!
@Grant From my days at the property when it was a Hilton, I believe Ben's room (and hallway pictures were not in the circular part of the hotel, but rather in the nominally rectangular part of the hotel shown in the second picture of the post ("Sheraton Montreal Airport exterior", with the angled windows).
Rooms on the circle are 4 digits; rooms in the "rectangular" structure shown in the "exterior" photo are 3 digits. The structure is located off the top of the diagram of the circular part of the hotel.
At least, that's my recollection from 20+ years ago.
Next time you should try the Marriott attached to the terminal. It is by far the best airport hotel at YUL and one of the better airport hotels in North America. The views from the room and even in the fitness room of the taxiways and international gates are amazing.
For YUL the Marriott is #1, then the Aloft...
Last time I stayed at this hotel it was a Hilton...
I stayed in this hotel last October. In my room they had not stocked the tea/coffee supplies, the glasses were a little dirty and most unusually, there was a half full large carton of Tropicana in the fridge, presumably from a previous guest. The rest of the room including bed seemed clean and it wasn't a big deal but looking at other tripadvisor reviews there does/did seem to be a cleanliness issue at this hotel. I sent an email after to the GM, in particular to mention the personal item from a previous guest in the fridge and he had a "couldn't care less" attitude or else he just didn't believe me. It always surprises me how bad the management can be at some of these chain hotels(although thankfully most of the time the management is good).
I've stayed here a couple times and usually get upgraded to the same suite but on the third floor - same view. Completely agree with you review and the breakfasts are much better than the average US based Sheratons. The staff in the club lounge are also great !
There are two buildings - the donut shaped building and the 4 story rectangular one.
In the middle of the donut building is the newly renovated health club/pool etc. There are also locker rooms that contain a steam room.
The shower (most important to me) was great - good pressure etc.
The furniture in the rooms however need a refreshing.
