Accommodation in Montréal

Participants of CCCG '98 should make their own arrangements for accommodation. There are several hotels in the downtown area of Montréal. The Montréal E-Guide has the best comprehensive listing of downtown hotels.

A very nice and inexpensive hotel quite close to McGill is the Manoir Ambrose. Rooms there start at $40, including breakfast. Some people have reported to me that the web page is unavailable from their locations. If you wish to contact Manoir Ambrose, their telephone number is (514) 288-6922. Their fax is (514) 288-5757. They have no e-mail address.
