Good, tasty burgers. I don't know if they're using local meat or not. Veggies that come with the burger are somewhat lacking - but they'll add jalapenos if you ask. The added fries fill up the basket and (if you came for a burger) you'll likely leave happy & full.

Pretty chill place for a happy hour. Had the Ballast Point Reef Rye Brown Ale & a salad while watching the game. While there, a person ordered the last of some brew & the bartender apologized & made some suggestions of similar beers to follow up with.

I love beer & I travel a great deal, so I was looking for a spot to try some local brews. They carry an excellent selection at a good price & the atmosphere at this bar is great.

The neighborhood is a little off, but don't let that deter you.

Decent food and an out-of-the-way location help hide this place from most of the traffic. It's not crazy overpriced and it's not crazy busy (at least when my friends & I went) but if you're craving mexican while in Stowe, this is the place to lose your salt shaker.

It's a Hampton - friendly staff, great beds, usually pretty clean. Breakfast is typical Hampton quality. I love being able to grab an apple on my way in or out at any time. The location is perfect for walking downtown Quincy as well.

From what I'd heard from others, their beer has steadily improved. I was in town on a business trip & wanted a salad. I tried their oatmeal stout & it was pretty good. The place was pretty empty, but it was 3pm on a Monday. The one bartender seemed bored and the people at the bar were mostly there to watch the NCAA tourney.

The salad was good, pretty typical of a pub. The beer was good also - I wish I'd tried their porter, but I wanted to go outside in the sun. I'd go again if I were in town.

Tiramisu

I came by one evening while on a business trip to Quincy. I travel quite a bit so I've had italian all over the country. Tiramisu wasn't bad. It wasn't the best I've ever had, but it was well priced and the portions were large. I'm not a wine drinker, but it looked like the sort of place you'd love if you love wine - a large wine rack occupies the back & they sell wine by the bottle if you're looking to just shop for wine.

The waitress was not very friendly and everyone looked rushed. Service was good and the food was good - just not excellent. I'd definitely go again if I was in town.

Oh god, the kids. They follow you everywhere. Ever had 4 kids chase you through narrow passageways? You feel like a fox being chased by hunting dogs. Lord of the Flies, man.

Honestly though, it's a great place to burn some energy while soaking in black lighting. The outside, like many Montreal (Ste Catherine) establishments, doesn't look like much. The inside? Not much either, but the play space feels huge. Seems much larger than most laser tag places.

Watch your 6.

Went to this location again this past weekend with two friends who had never been. Awesome food as always & we had our food probably 5 minutes after ordering which was crazy fast.

One thing - their OJ is very full of pulp which I don't mind, but my friend did.

    Great breakfast place. If you wake up Sunday morning and you're wondering to yourself "how can I get some coffee and food in me to kill the hangover" you can join half of Montreal in going to this eggscellent spot. Ok, that was a horrible painful pun. Be warned, mortal: while eating here you will encounter lots of puns. Prepare yourself.

    It really is good.

Seems like everyone comes here for the outdoor heated pool, which is very nice.

Pros:
- heated pool (open until 10:30pm)
- on the "Underground City" path, so you don't have to go outside for public transit or get to shopping
- thick walls, couldn't hear anyone else with my door closed
- nice views of either the garden or the city

Cons:
- slow elevators, can be difficult to get one that isn't packed
- Alcatraz feeling, due mostly to the concrete decor in the lobby & halls
- rooms are very spread out
- your car is likely two long elevator rides away

Tip: there is a general store downstairs near the expo rooms, as well as a Subway sandiwch shop & a liquor store across the street in the train station

    Very odd place for a hotel. It is the top two floors of an office building. It is indeed right on the Underground which you might have trouble navigating on Sundays. The beds are nothing special, the rooms are okay if you get one that overlooks the city or the pool.

    The pool though... the hotel has a heated rooftoop pool that is open year round. It has a small piece that goes into the locker room, so you can get into the pool indoors, then swim outside. This is so that you can go swimming in a 75 degree pool when it is below zero outside, or when there is a blizzard. Even gone swimming in a blizzard? It is very strange.

    Wifi in the hotel lobby only. Overpriced for what you get in my opinion.
