While opinions varied, the self-service breakfast was often described as satisfying and good value for money, considering the variety offered.

Rooms

Maison Montplaisir offers rooms that are generally described as spacious and clean, creating a comfortable environment for guests. Many visitors appreciate the large, well-equipped rooms and find them to be quite accommodating. However, the experience can be inconsistent. Some guests highlighted issues with cleanliness, such as stains on sheets and unpleasant odors, including cigarette smoke and chlorine. The outdated bathroom facilities work fine but could use some modern updates. Guests have noted that the beds may lack proper support and can be squeaky. Additional concerns were raised about noise, especially with rooms located near communal living areas where televisions are often on late into the night. Moreover, rooms without proper ventilation or air conditioning might pose challenges during hotter months. Despite these inconsistencies, the overall concept of the hotel has been positively noted by guests. Nonetheless, the cost of the rooms might not always match the quality expected by travelers.

Beds

Maison Montplaisir offers a mixed experience when it comes to the comfort of their beds.

Overall, though, there are guests who have enjoyed a comfortable night's sleep, highlighting the need for the establishment to address the inconsistencies in bed comfort and maintenance.

Cleanliness

Maison Montplaisir seems to have varying levels of cleanliness according to recent guest reviews. While some visitors appreciated the hotel's very clean premises, highlighting easy access to staff, top-notch equipment, and a well-equipped kitchen in a quiet neighborhood, others had a less favorable experience. There are numerous mentions of inadequate cleaning in rooms and bathrooms, with reports of dust, grime, and hair being common issues. Some guests mentioned that the common areas and rooms could benefit from more meticulous attention. Complaints about overpowering smells, including stale tobacco and chlorinated air, further mar the experience for some visitors.
