Good value for price point. Close (walking distance) to St. Catherine Street and LGBT-friendly businesses. Bed was comfy for two people. Bathroom was a bit on the small end, but functional (even with the weird toilet handles).
Parked in a metered spot across street, which was pretty easy, meters were free after 2100/9 pm (granted this was a Monday night in late August). Check-in was listed at 1800/6 pm but I got in later.
I would've appreciated an extra towel or two but not the end of the world. Some reviews on other sites made Hotel Star Montreal seem terrible, but the price was good and it met expectations. Many reviews talked about thin walls, but that was not a problem (again it was a Monday night).
It's not fancy by any means, and if you're looking for a hotel with a gym/pool/bar/parking structure etc., then you might search elsewhere. If you're looking for a well-priced place that meets basic needs, then this is a good option.
