Ditto what Ichabod said. Hotel Dorian is even more economical than Le Gouverneur, plus it's located above Taboo; however, I would never stay at either hotel.
 
Keep in mind Montreal has huge taxes, especially on hotels.
 
My favorite hotel (after having visited Le Village 18 times since May 2005) is the Courtyard by Marriott on Rene Levesque, but it's like $250 USD per night (including taxes) during May.
 
I also like Hotel Mount Stephen which is even more expensive. I no longer stay at the OMNI Mont-Royal as it's showing its age.
 
You can stay anywhere in Montreal, as the metro and bus system will take you virtually anywhere in minutes for cheap.
 
My favorite time to visit Montreal is mid-May and late September when the weather is most pleasant.

Delvalboy,
 
The Gouverneur Hotel is not shabby. It is very acceptable and used by Quebecois, French-Canadian visitors, and families on many repeat visits. It is not luxury, but there is nothing wrong with it. It is 29 stories high (I think), so you have size, services, and anonymity, if you wish. No problems or questions with guests.
 
You can find good prices for it on many of the discount sites (priceline, hotwire) and sometimes the hotel site itself. You can usually get it for a base price of $104-$127 (and sometimes under $100), plus taxes and fees. It is your best buy in the Village.
 
The Gouverneur is part of a full square block of buildings, including offices, banks, shops, drugstore, etc. On the ground floor of the complex is a large, new food court with a dozen different fast casual cuisines with large open area for seating; many singles eat there. There is also a large IGA grocery with a superb bakery, where you can get fresh croissants every hour of the day. They also have many prepared salads, veggies, sandwiches, etc. which are sometimes useful. There are numerous fast-casual restaurants along Ste. Catherine, which is right outside the hotel. St. Hubertus is fine and inexpensive and plenty of room for singles.
 
From the Gouverneur you walk underground to the Berri-Uqam metro station and also to the splendid national library and the campus of UQAM (University of Quebec in Montreal). It is an urban campus with all buildings connected underground. Montreal also has an Underground City downtown filled with shops and restaurants and connected to all the major buildings downtown, so winter or bad weather is no hindrance. A different approach to intense winter than the skyway system of the Twin Cities. And March will still be part of winter in Montreal.
 
Getting from the airport to the Gouverneur is very easy. Get on the 747 bus at the airport and ride to the Berri-Uqam stop (simply ask the driver). It is the last stop before the bus station and one block away from the hotel, straight ahead. Or take the 747 to its first stop, Lionel Groulx Metro, and transfer to the Green Line or Orange Line metro and ride to the Berri-Uqam metro stop. Your bus ticket is good for all buses and metros for 24 hours. So you simply use that ticket. If you plan much use of the metro, the next day is a good time since you have a free pass for that 24 hours. The ticket costs $10 CD. (That's about $7.50 US these days and a great bargain.) You buy them from a machine in the airport, close to the doors to outside. Get two and save the other one for when you return to the airport; you won't have to fool around with buying a return ticket.
 
The Gouverneur is a 5 minute walk to Campus, another 2 minutes to Stock and another 5 minutes to Taboo. If this is your first visit to Montreal, you ought to at least stop in at all three venues for a few minutes. Be aware that they will vary from night to night, so try them more than once, and they will be busier after 9:00 rather then before. Their best nights are usually Wed-Sat.
 
The hotel is a 15-20 minutes easy walk down to the Old City, harbor, and Place Jacques Cartier. This is the 18th century part of town, filled with restaurants, tourist shops, art galleries, and the Grande Roue, a very large ferris wheel with little cabins, from which you get splendid views of the city and harbor.
 
Bon voyage!

The Gouverneur, now under new management, with a new name (Hotel Place DuPuis), is a DUMP.
Based on the TripAdvisor reviews below, the change of name didn't improve the quality of the hotel. You can put lipstick on a pig.....
When Bozo stayed there, the linens were dirty and rug was filthy.
Read the TripAdvisor reviews before you even consider staying at this fleabag:

You're better off sleeping with the homeless on the streets than staying at the Gouverneur/Hotel Place Dupuis.
 
Stay at one of the nicer chain hotels downtown like the Marriott, Delta, Sheraton, etc. It's less than a ten minute Metro ride to the Gay village. Or, if you're a walker, you can hoof it in about 30-35 minutes. During March, you should be able to get a good rate. Most hotels offer a discount to AAA members.
As for the Gouverneur, AVOID!

Fairytail is also still working but mostly Latino dancers. Both Atlas and Spunk are semi private-ish and have a greater variety of dancers. I would recommend Jimmy from Adonis and spunk, nice and sexy guy. I haven’t been to buffdaddys events.

Thanks dutchal. I didn't see that before and it wouldn't let me search for "Den" (Search Results for Query: =34']den The search could not be completed because the search keywords were too short, too long, or too common.).

Here's a thread, with links to three more: https://www.companyofmen.org/threads/411-on-den-in-nyc.113808/#post-1419149

Has anyone had a massage from Den in NYC? If so, how was it? thanks

Nice work, if you can get it.

Just based on the fact that they very frequently cancel events, sometimes in advance sometimes last minute, I'd not make this the primary reason for the trip if it is a hike for you. They kept switching days from weds to thur to every sunday to every other. Kinda gets hard to keep track of. If you happen to be out on LI already and want to add this on.. and wouldn't feel bad if it's cancelled... then go for it.
 
I only went once and it was eh. Maybe 5 guys sitting on couches around their platform stage. guys are not naked all the time, they come up to the stage dance for 1-3 songs and end up naked then put their undies back on and leave. I think most of the guys were huddled around the drink area chatting while the guys on the couches were just sitting around. I didn't find it very comfortable at all. Seems to be more of a holding area till you use one of the private lap dance rooms. So if you are the kind of person that can just sit back and vedge out you'll be fine.
 
The guy that was in the lineup email that I wanted to see was a no show. Guess that happens a lot so don't count on those guys definitely being there each time but there will def be several guys avail.

I fount Nathan on RM...

Swinging Richards in Atlanta is the most upscale and the classiest of the male strip clubs south of the US-Canadian border. Its size and layout provide a comfortable environment to kick back and have an enjoyable and relaxing evening. And the quality, quantity, and diversity of the boys is unmatched. Bozo has not experienced the above scenario, though he hasn't been in Atlanta for a couple of years. However, if this is what's happening there now, let's hope someone from Swinging Richards is reading this thread. They had better know that gay men are their bread and butter. Nothing wrong with having gals at the club as long as they comport themselves properly, but once they have a few drinks, and the well-behaved women become screaming and cackling hens, it crosses the line. It begins to infringe on our enjoyment.
Why not adopt the Montreal model used at Stock and Campus? Have one night a week dedicated to the ladies. The rest of the week...... just for us boys
 
While Bozo is on a roll, here's another unsolicited recommendation: STOP THE SMOKING!!!
We are now in 2017. People scream and yell about the effects of climate change (or is it global warming?). Yet it's somehow acceptable to sit an indoor, unventilated room and light up a cigarette containing dozens of cancer-causing carcinogens and blow your smoke into the same unfiltered air that scores of people around you have to inhale? Air is community property. Bozo's clean and healthy lungs shouldn't be forced to breathe in your filthy smoke. Bozo doesn't want your smoke polluting his lungs or getting into his eyes, skin, nails, teeth or beautifully coiffed (natural) red hair.
If someone can't sit at a club for a couple of hours without smoking, let them go outside and puff their cancer sticks out there....till they need an iron lung....or drop dead from cancer.
