It's not a glamorous place, but for a casual but clean hotel with kind staff (in the hall, at breakfast, at the front desk of course), it was great! With free breakfast, and proximity to the sites (a ten minute walk to Vieux Montréal; fifteen minutes to McGill/the McCord), it had all we needed.
The kitchenette was perfect for our morning coffee, and the gym was clean. The free buffet had rotating eggs and and meats each morning, plus cereal, toast, and Montreal bagels. No, it wasn't crêpes, mimosas, and espresso, at least not on our days, but was pretty substantial for a free buffet. The hotel, helpful as can be, even posts a breakfast traffic forecast.
Other reviews mentioned cigarette burns in the carpet and old AC units. Maybe they are quietly renovating--I too saw a couple cigarette burns, but thankfully didn't smell the cigarettes. The heat system seemed up to date (and our room was cooking!). The kitchenette had particle cabinets, but cleanliness was there. That, and we didn't know what to do with all the storage space!
Despite being a casual place, a comfy bed and duvet set are non-negotiable. You need to be able to sleep like five stars, and our comfy bed had the right pillows, duvet, and was exquisite! The garage is a little tight, but was on-site. In all, Hôtel Faubourg was perfect for what we needed. Not a five star place, but had all the amenities we hoped, and more, and was comfy enough that we'd come back.
