Being a Montrealer i think i may be of service. Both zeus and 420SEL are right in the places to check out, they being the old port/vieux montreal and the downtown center.

If it was my decision i would say to get a room downtown (i.e anywhere on Sherbrooke between guy and St. Laurent.) Try the Ritz-Carlton Montreal (514-842-4212) and state that you are an Alum of McGill and they will give you a discount (use my ID # 9735761), at least they used to 2 years ago. From there you'll be a street away from St. Catherines and about a 5 min taxi ride to Vieux montreal.

If you want to try some great food and see some of the most beautiful women the world has to offer (No joke) then check out St. Laurent (try Globe, Buono Notte, Cafeteria, Mediterrano, the wait staff are all stunning and the food is great). The bars and restaurants are open past 3am wit the taps open till 3am as well.

Well i hope that helps. Have a great time,oh and make sure to check out the open cafes when you get a chance.
