  1. 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.

  2. 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. 

  3. 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.

    Hyatt Downtown / Gouverneur

    The website today says they are accepting reservations for after July 1.  Rooms start at $319.  (I'm an old fogey and remember when the Gouverneur cost $88 for any room, included breakfast, and you got the 14th night free.  I also remember friendly Sebastien and Isabelle at the front desk.  I also remember sitting in the lobby in the morning near the elevators and watching fifteen dancers I knew from the clubs get out of the elevators and leave the hotel after overnights.  It was a very friendly, active place.  I met a couple of members from this board at breakfast, and we became friends and enjoyed the clubs together.  The gay waiter, whose name I do not recall, knew all the gay men and introduced those interested.  But time moves on. )

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

    Also an AirBnB for much less.

    Finally, a reader DM’d me to criticize my input and to categorize it as problematic in the same way he considered another member, he also named, to make contributions he opined were similarly lacking in value. What is this … middle school? How immature and inflammatory. I thought we were all adults here. Obviously, I am not reading his lame follow-up. 

    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!
