Where should I sleep

There are many hotels in the Montréal area which are only a Google search away. We’d suggest securing accommodation sooner rather than later to avoid disappointment.

The studio host has recommended Trylon Apartment as a good spot for accommodation nearby.

Airbnb and VRB are also good resources for finding affordable housing.
