We stayed at the Auberge de la Fontaine for 3 nights last week & just want to say that we've rarely been happier in any hotel. The staff is  incredibly helpful and welcoming, the room, bathroom, etc. were great, the mattress was firm, the breakfasts were delicious, and there were so many other nice & thoughtful touches. The owners are to be commended for running a terrific hotel, and I hope they give their staff big raises!   Thank you helping to make our stay in Montreal so wonderful.   Stephen Lehmann and Carol Sabersky (United States)

The true stand-out of our vacation, however, was our marvelous hotel, Auberge de la Fontaine.  The Auberge is beautiful, facing the lovely Parc de la Fontaine.  It's also located in the Plateau district, where there are many contemporary and charming shops as well as what seems like most of the best restaurants.  All of the restaurants we chose from recommendations and reviews turned out to be within walking distance of our hotel. 

We were fortunate enough to have one of the inn's most charming rooms, spacious and attractive with a large terrace facing the park, not to speak of an in-room double jacuzzi, quite welcome during the afternoons of days filled with long snowy and icy walks.  A good television (which helped us avail ourselves of both "South Park" and "Law and Order" in French) and an excellent sound system were among the accoutrements.  When we go back, which we undoubtedly will, we hope to have the same room in spring or summer wheather, and enjoy the lovely terrace even more. 

Each morning we came downstairs to an abundant breakfast of freshly baked croissants and pains chocolats, fresh fruit sliced and in fruit salad, as well as to eat out of hand, cheeses, patés, yogurt, hard-cooked eggs, cereals, breads, and usually a specialty like sugar waffles or an egg-and-spinach dish as well as some homebaked carrot bread or date squares.  This far exceeded the meager offerings we've encountered at most mid-level B&Bs, which usually seem to broadcast that someone said to someone else "oh yeah, we have to put out breakfast for the guests" -- an afterthought at best.  The Auberge's policy is to keep an open kitchen downstairs, meaning that up until midnight you can help yourself to coffee, tea, and snacks: cookies, crackers, and the cheeses, patés, fruit, and baked goods left from breakfast, if you wish.  We didn't avail ourselves of this to any excessive degree, since we were eating copiously outside the hotel -- but it was delightful to be able make ourselves tea and have a tiny bite on a couple of occasions.   More than anything, we just liked the policy, which speaks to the friendly, open nature of the Auberge in general.   Julie and Geoff Bryant (United States)
