"Contemporary and colorful, this stylish budget hotel is located in hip and happening Griffintown right by the Lachine Canal, a burgeoning residential area on the waterfront. Owned by Le Germaine, a Canadian hotel chain known for high style and designer touches, the Alt was developed to serve business traveler looking for a budget stay, but without compromising on quality or comfort. Rooms are tidy and small with everything you need to get right down to work: a station with an ergonomic chair, super-speedy free Wi-Fi, and well-placed electrical outlets. The bed is a dream, too, with Egyptian cotton sheets and a goose-down comforter that go well above the average business hotel in this price range. Full of panache, stylish meeting nooks, and a trendy bar beloved by Griffintown professionals, this affordable business hotel is a nice, well-located home base for a trip to Montreal." - Isa Tousignant, Todd Plummer
