Travellers to the Trudeau airport area will be welcomed by the new boutique style decor at the hotel and will appreciate standard free business amenities including in-room high speed internet, deluxe continental breakfast, 24 hour airport shuttle, in-room refrigerators and business desks with ergonomic work chairs in all rooms.
Guestroom renovations include new mattresses, bedspreads, draperies, new light fixtures, new furniture, new carpet and paint and curved shower rods with new curtains.
