I've only been to the city once in my life, and even then only briefly.

Accordingly, I seek advice. Can anyone recommend a pleasant (but not tremendously expensive) place to stay, and places to eat, near the corner of Rue St-Denis and Rue Marie-Anne Est?

Within walking distance would be awesome, but a short, straightforward métro trip would also be good. Our plan would be to drive to a hotel in the city, park the car, and then foot it for our stay there.

Can anyone assist?
