Doubletree By Hilton Pointe Claire Montreal Airport West

“An affordable stay near Montreal”

The hotel looks like it was renovated recently, the lobby and room decor feels modern. Check-in was quick and the staff provided us with warm cookies.

The hotel looks like it was renovated recently, the lobby and room decor feels modern. Check-in was quick and the staff provided us with warm cookies. Staff also asked how many room keys we need, which I appreciate because we have more than 2 people. The hotel is right across from a decent-sized shopping mall and there are grocery stores nearby. The hotel pool water is warm and towels are provided. However, it was a bit chaotic as kids and even teenagers were diving constantly, which makes it difficult to enjoy the pool. Another problem was the bathtub in our room, the water is not draining properly and water builds up in the tub. Also, it would be nice if the hotel provide free coffee/tea in the lobby for guests.

Didn't intend to stay here, but here's what you need to know. If you're researching hotels at Montreal Airport (YUL), be aware that this is NOT the closest Doubletree. There are two. And like the previous reviewer, I boarded the wrong airport shuttle bus not realizing that this was the hotel I'd booked at. There are two airport DoubleTrees, one right at the airport and one whose name says it's at the airport but it's not!) This hotel DOES not have a regular airport shuttle pickup, although they did have a complimentary shuttle that you have to book from the hotel to the airport. So be very careful and don't make the mistake of boarding the shuttle bus you see at the airport without confirming which DoubleTree you're going to. The shuttle bus driver for the DoubleTree by Hilton Montreal Airport should be making an announcement to make sure passengers know where they're going. We rushed to get on the bus, and there was never an announcement. The Hotel Point Claire is perfectly fine if this is your intended destination. There's nothing to do around the area. It'll require an Uber or taxi to get to YUL if you don't have a car. We wound up at this hotel after our flight got canceled and other closer hotels weren't available. We got a comfortable night's sleep, had dinner and a drink, slept and then did breakfast the next morning. Ruby at the front desk was nice, quick and efficient checking us in. Room was comfortable. But sadly, we couldn't figure out how to shut off a fairly bright night light on the bathroom mirror. And the room bathroom has a "barn door" for a door, so your expectations for complete privacy in the bathroom may be diminished. (It's a horrible, horrible trend in hotel room design, especially for renovated properties. Not sure why architects, designers and hotel operators think this is a wise choice. Does your home have a sliding door on the primary bathroom?) We had a good experience at this hotel, even if we never intended to stay there. My key message is to make sure that you're choosing this hotel intentionally if you're staying at airport hotel!
