Hotel St. Denis was the "most affordable" hotel I've stayed at for "no thrills." The prices have likely skyrocketed there as well.

Taboo a/c seems to always be "broken". I agree eliminating the US testing return requirement would increase travel. Nice report.

Taboo, Expose, Campus, Stock (and Club Unity).

12is12...I would just disregard what I wrote regarding shower pressure in hotels as most people aren't sensitive or OCD like me to be affected. If you're not the type of world traveler to bring your own shower head (and wrench) while you travel then you will be just fine. In 1992 laws were passed to restrict GPM (gallons per minute) of water via water savers in showerheads. Lawmakers got wise to the fact people would bring their own shower head or remove the water restrictor, so they started using water saving shower valves in new construction so it didn't matter if people brought their own showerhead to bypass the low flow.

Congrats Luv2Pplay. Excellent choice; however, I didn't realize prices had gone way up. I normally book OMNI on Booking. com I've stayed at the OMNI several times beginning in 2007. Their corner rooms offer nice views and their bathrooms/tubs are huge. I even have a list of my fave room numbers and email the manager before my visit.

I usually stay in the Golden Square Mile area such as the Omni Mont-royal hotel. It's a safe upscale area with The Village just a five minute metro ride away. If you have the money the new Hyatt in Le Village looks great; however, with any new or recently renovated property your shower pressure will surely be affected (even if you bring your own shower head) compared to hotels built prior to 1992 (if this matters to you). Recently I've been booking AirBnB and finding very nice places all to myself for half the price of hotels. The properties I liked on AirBnB were former Embassy Suites hotel rooms converted into apartment condos that people have listing on AirBnB. They are in a prime location and within walking distance to Le Village and the metro, which will take you everywhere.

I posted this video last week from Taboo's public page: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=457331532818302&ref=sharing

Wow! You can get a hotel in the Golden Square Mile area for around $250 (OMNI hotel, etc.) Also an AirBnB for much less.

Montreal in every way. Hotter is subjective so I won’t put forward my impressions there, as SIrBIllybob said.

I believe the new Hyatt (former Gouverneur hotel) will start accepting reservations sometime this Summer 2022.

Wow! Do tell! Plus, you shouldn't have to apologize for sharing your honest opinion. After all you LIVE there! If anyone has a better perspective it's YOU after going nearly 50 years to these things!

Awesome. I hope that includes driving into Canada from the USA? Still have to fill out ArriveCan , but I read you can also just answer questions directly at the border. The Taboo Facebook page showcasing their recent local dancers doesn't look to appealing for twink lovers. I've seen better street trade on Ste. Catherine.

I wonder when "ArriveCAN" will end?

Update

It's been almost 3 years since my last visit to Montreal in September 2019. These videos are getting me in the mood: https://youtu.be/X3U24i9j450 and https://youtu.be/c4XfP7Ze97A

2 days sooner

I'm looking forward to the day when US tourists can fly to and from Montreal without having to take any kind of COVID test upon arrival or departure to either country, or have to prove vaccine status. Hopefully this day will come sooner rather than later.
