Safety concerns about vehicle break-ins and limited security are reported across multiple reviews. The location is convenient for drivers near the highway but not central; reaching metro typically requires a short bus ride. Expect a budget, no-frills stay with clear trade-offs.

The property is not safe, my car's windshield on left front side was broken by someone in the night. When I found it in the morning, i went to the reception and reported it. I was disappointed when the reception agent told me they don't have any concern regarding the car damaged. So i was able to fix my car by myself 😡

My car was stolen from the parking lot right outside my room. There were no CCTV cameras in that part of the lot. You can hear every neighbor. There was a kitchenette with an induction cooktop - but no dishes except for coffee mugs. Who travels with induction cookware & dishes?? Window is exterior door was cracked. Water damage to the bathroom door which did not stay closed. Carpet in hallway was stained & torn. STAY SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!

At best, The Hôtel Newstar is a low rate motel. The building itself has several offensive odors and is poorly light with quite narrow hallways. When we first arrived there were several concerning situations at the front of the motel and I was quite concerned about the safety of the parking lot. My instincts proved to be true - during our stay the police were called to the hotel and my car was hit in the parking lot. So an overpriced, poor quality stay has become even more expensive. The rooms need repair and the furniture needs replacing. The floors are not carpeted, but linoleum. I would not use the shower, the television didn’t work properly, and we could clearly hear televisions and footsteps from other rooms. We spent as little time as possible at Newstar.

Reasonable price. Room had a kitchenette but no pots or pans not even any plates or cutlery. Boy at the reception got me few paper plates and plastic forks. Bathroom was smelly, very low water pressure. Cost cutting at the best, we were on a tight budget this time so didn't mind but next time I'll be sure to book somewhere else.

Photos on the website are fake. The room doesn't look like it does in the photo. It's dirty and smells bad. The sheets are dirty and smell of cigarette smoke. The bathroom looked dirty and hadn't been cleaned. Mold was everywhere. They don't clean the room. We were in room 3, but they only provided two towels. There's a bar and casino open to the public inside the hotel. No security, and the doors to the outside were all open. There's no public control. I wouldn't recommend it at all.

All good other than the small cockroaches in the shower/toilet. Everything is sparkling clean. But i believe the bugs come out of the shower drainage. It’s gonna be a good idea to use a cover when customers aren't using the rooms. Again.. everyone is neat and super clean.

Not smoke free. Smells like cigarette everywhere in the building. Upon checking in at around 3AM, I was told that the room they’re giving me is a non-smoking room. While on the way to the room, you can tell someone is already smoking—actively smoking in one of the rooms in that building because you can literally smell cigarette just from the entrance, throughout the hallway, and even inside the room they just gave me. I went back to front desk to report it. They moved us to another room because I literally just checked in. They had to send someone with us to confim the issue and gave us the key to another room. The new room did not smell like cigarette at that time, so it’s fine. But again in the middle of the night, someone was smoking again and we can smell it in our room, even if our door was closed! A decent bed/shower. Very thin walls; you can hear almost everything in the next room. However, active smokers inside the building, that scent will linger in your clothes.

We arrived to the hotel in the evening. We had reserved for a double room a few weeks in advanced, but they informed us they had overbooked. Staff was super helpful and tried their best to help with the situation. They gave us a discount and we stayed in a single room for the first night. My friend did not have a bed/matress, pillows or even a single blanket. On the second day they gave us the room we asked for. It was really an inconvenience. Was slightly disapointed with the look of everything. The smell of cigarette was strong and our room wasn't the cleanest. If it weren't for the helpful staff it would of been horrible but they made sure we felt welcome even through the troubles.

Keep in mind if you book with a kitchenette, they rent the stuff for the kitchenette and they might not have it available, the kitchenette had absolutely nothing to cook or even boil water. and we had the worst experience with the one front desk lady that was on shift when we arrived she was very rude, she did not even want to help by checking the reservation. after her shift was over we were helped by a guy who was nicer. The lady at the front desk in the evening did not speak English but she at least tried to use her translator.

When I arrived, I gave $100 in cash as a deposit. The next morning, the girl told me she had no proof that I had given the $100 deposit. She took my name and email. She told me to come back when the manager would be there. She said it wasn’t a problem, that it was something that happened often in this place because there were always new staff. She said she would check the video and give me back the $100. It took 5–6 days before I was able to speak with the manager. When I called, no one ever answered. Later, they told me that I had never given any deposit. So, I really don’t recommend going to this place. It’s the first time something like this has happened to me. I rent hotels every week.

First off, I booked 6 months in advance to secure my stay and this hotel cancelled my confirmed reservation of 5 days because I wrote to them to notify them that I am going to arrive 1 day late due to an unexpected commitment at home. They would still have charged my credit card for the full 5 days. I arrived on Thursday instead of Wednesday just like I notified them only to hear that they cancelled my reservation, and no other rooms were available. This happened at a time when all hotels were fully booked and I couldn't find a place to stay for my entire family, including 2 toddlers. We were all tired and exhausted from a 6 hour drive from NY. My family ended up staying 2 hours away from Montreal because of this. I would not recommend staying here. It was very unprofessional of them. They did not even attempt to help me find a solution. No hotel should do this to anyone, especially a family travelling with children.

The property was clean and quiet, but to access the main town, we needed to catch a bus daily in order to get to the Cadillac underground station, which had superb connection to anywhere in town. Surprisingly, although there was a kitchenette in the room, the hotel did not supply any pots and pans, which made self-catering challenging. To obtain additional coffee/tea pods or toilet paper..., please ensure you go to reception to ask for those at no additional cost. We found some local people were renting some of the rooms to live as rented accommodation. There was plenty of parking outside, and an excellent dépanneur shop nearby to buy bus/underground tickets or any other goods.
