Premium location: the fortress is right in front. You can walk from the front desk to the front entrance of the fortress in less than 10 minutes--closer to 5. Pool, bar, & parking all good (tight parking). Property consists of 2 hotels main & bldg across the street. I booked 6 mos. in advance for 2 people & still didn't get in main bldg. Add'l bldg rooms very small (even by European studs); you have to sit and pivot to fit onto toilet. Free bathroom amenities are a "community" shampoo/soap bottles in bathroom. Hence, rooms nothing great, but the fact you can get a hotel this close, w/ a pool, w/ a/c, near the airport, & a great view (from bar not your room) makes it worthwhile. Also, great bakery in walking distance. The staff was nice enough, the location is safe, and housekeeping does a great job. If you arrive late, you may not get a parking space so keep that in mind. We did not get the breakfast; we chose to walk to the bakery each day for coffee and pastries. Many nearby restaurants were simply average, but the tapas bar in the Fortress named, "Escargot" was very good. If you stay at Montmorency, take advantage of exploring the fortress in the evening when the crowds are gone. So, overall, I'd give it 4-stars because of its location.
