Thinking of hotel near Berri-UQAM Metro Station

Hi,

I am going to Montreal, wondering what the area around this Metro
station is like. One of the hotels has a good deal. Is it safe at night?
Is it a nice area? The hotel is Hotel Europeenne on 1620 rue St-Hubert.

Thanks,

Alec

Montreal is a safe city. This hotel is close to rue St.Denis where there are
lots of cafes and bars. It is pretty lively at night.

Berri Metro isn't a pretty area. By day you get a lot of squeege punks and
by night you get drug dealers. As Dave said, Montreal is a safe city
compared to others -- the worst that would probably happen might be someone
offering to sell you some drugs if you have a late night and walk to your
hotel, but unless that hotel is significantly cheaper than those a bit more
to the west, I'd see what else is available.

If they had a lot of Albanians Ireland in the late 19th/early 20th
century then you are, of course, right. Otherwise you're takling
bollocks.

No, London got it's act together a hundred years or more ago. Mark you,
they didn't have to call the archaeologists in every ten minutes as they
did in Athens and have had to do (even more so) in Rome.

They'll see what there intelli_gence is worth when the rest of the
passengers kick up a fuss.

You really think the other passengers are watching you ?
