Montreal Airport Hotels

Airport hotel guide for overnight stays, early departures, and business trips at Montréal-Trudeau International Airport.

Budget Hotels at Montreal Airport

Montréal-Trudeau’s hotel prices cluster tightly, so the real question is what each rate includes. Free shuttles are the norm here; what you pay more for is proximity, and above all the terminal connection.

The entry point

The Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Montreal Airport is the cheapest of the six and the easiest to recommend on value. It is under a kilometre from the terminal with a free shuttle, a five-minute walk from Dorval station, and the rate includes a hot breakfast buffet from 6:00 am on weekdays. A free bed-to-gate ride plus free breakfast covers the two costs that matter most before a flight.

Mid-range without the premium

  • Aloft Montreal Airport: one kilometre out, free shuttle, heated indoor pool, 24-hour gym and a 24-hour grab-and-go counter for odd-hour arrivals.
  • DoubleTree By Hilton Montreal Airport: free shuttle every 30 minutes, indoor pool, and Dorval Railway Station next door for downtown trips without a car.
  • Sheraton Montreal Airport Hotel: the dependable 24-hour half-hourly shuttle, a 24-hour gym, and the cheapest parking of the group at $20 per day.
  • Novotel Montreal Aeroport: mid-range rates with family rooms and a wellness centre, but 15 minutes away with no shuttle, so add taxi costs unless you drive.

What the premium buys

The Marriott Montreal Airport In-Terminal Hotel costs more because it removes the transfer entirely: connected to the U.S. departures terminal, it turns a 5:00 am preclearance queue into an elevator ride. Before dawn departures, especially transborder ones, that premium is usually worth paying; for a midday flight it rarely is.

Ways to save

Driving in for a week or more? A park, sleep and fly package can beat booking parking separately. Daytime layover? A day-room arrangement costs less than wasted sleep. Only need a wash and a seat? A lounge pass may be cheaper than any room.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cheapest hotel at Montreal Airport?

Of the six hotels in this guide, the Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Montreal Airport is the entry point: under a kilometre from the terminal, with a free shuttle and a complimentary hot breakfast buffet included in the rate.

Do the cheaper YUL hotels still have airport shuttles?

Yes. A free shuttle is standard rather than premium at Montréal-Trudeau: the Fairfield Inn & Suites, Sheraton, Aloft and DoubleTree all run one. The premium at YUL buys the in-terminal location, not the ride.

Is staying downtown cheaper than staying at Montreal Airport?

Sometimes for evening arrivals with late departures, since the 747 bus runs 24 hours and its $11.25 fare doubles as a day pass. For early flights it rarely pays: the bus takes 45 to 70 minutes and an early U.S. departure through preclearance wants you at the airport up to three hours ahead.
