What do you mean early check-in rooms are taken???
July 4, 2008
I finally arrived to the OPUS hotel around 1PM. I still was not feeling well & because of Greyhound's very late arrival, all the early check-in rooms were already taken. So I had to wait until about 3PM to check into the hotel room. In the meantime, Matt and I had Bento Box lunches at the KoKo Restaurant. I finally made it up to the hotel room and was able to take a brief nap before dinner.

The Opus Hotel Montreal is a wonderful hotel with an attentive staff and beautiful decor. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
I was, however, dissappointed that we lost our "early check-in" reservation due to our very delayed arrival. Being that the hotel rooms were roughly US$250/night + taxes, one would expect them to be a little more accomodating. Instead of complaining, I enjoyed a Bento Box lunch at Koko Restaurant (connected to the hotel).
My room was amazing and I wish I would have taken pictures... The decor was unique to say the least and the bathroom was spacious an beautiful. Lots of mirrors throughought the room and bathroom for those of you that have multiple people getting ready for a night out on the town simultaneously. The room overlooked the outdoor bar area, which was both good and bad. It was good to see what was going on out there and for people watching from up above purposes, but it was bad if you were attempting to get a good night's sleep because the music was blaring up until 3 AM.
Continental breakfast was included and consisted of breads, assorted cheese, yogurt, fruit, pastries, juice, coffee/tea.
Room service was enjoyable... very delicious french fries! Alas, they only provide room service until 11PM. I found out the hard way... when I was craving french fries.
If you travel with your laptop, be sure to bring all the necessary cables with you or you'll be spending time surfing the net in the lobby.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend The Opus Hotel for my fellow high maintenance travelers. =) I do plan on visiting Montreal again and will most definitely stay at this hotel.
