Grand Times Hotel Laval Centropolis

For all those bad reviews I read before I booked I decided to try it and here is what I noticed. Stayed at Times Hotel last night and overall, it was just okay. The place looks nice at first glance kind of like a luxurious hotel you’d find on Temu but the experience didn’t really match the appearance. First, be aware they charge $17 a night for parking, which felt excessive. Check in was frustrating staff seemed untrained and it took a full 15 minutes just to get my room key. Not exactly the welcome you hope for. Once in the room, the issues continued. The AC unit was extremely loud, making it hard to sleep, and the room was noticeably dusty. I later found out that since it’s an “eco hotel,” they don’t clean the rooms during your stay, which might be fine for some people, but it just felt like an excuse to cut corners. Also, $4 for a bottle of water in the room? That’s just unnecessary. It’s not the worst place I’ve stayed it has potential but definitely not worth the price with these issues. You might want to look elsewhere if you value cleanliness, quiet, or good service. 310$ for one night at the time of this post.

One of the strangest hotel rooms I have ever stayed in - a mixture between dungeon and a bordello with it's "open to all viewers" shower stall that has a semi-opaque curtain on the outside of it that the 'shower-ee' has no control over. It's a dark, ostere, depressing and cold room perfect for voyeurs!!! Very, very odd, and, frankly, completely inappropriate. The pool is also an oddball. There are NO towels in the pool area (you have to go to the front desk to get one); there is NO change room and NO lockers (you must change in you room - where there is NO bathrobe); there are only 2 lounge chairs and a couple straight back chairs. Not inviting or convenient in the least! Otoh, the lobby looks very good complete with a couple Porsches on display to match the Porsche poster in the room. The owner must be a fan! Service was without flaw but can't make up for the oddities encountered. Definitely not worth the $400+ a-night they got from me!

Not a good experience and I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. I book hotels about 16 times per year for more than 20 years. This was the worst experience of them all. 1- Worst choice for newly married couples: They didn't provide anything special for me and my wife. We were a new couple going from our wedding ceremony right to the hotel wearing the wedding dress and toxido and yet they didn't offer anything not even a complimentary breakfast. They even charged me 30 CAD for the parking ( this is very disappointing) it shows how much they don't care about providing a nice experience. The least we were expecting is a small gesture or recognition of a newly married couple. 2- Worst choice for light sleepers: Noisy air conditioning system. 3- Unwelcoming environment: staff don't know how to smile. The only good thing about the hotel is the room size
