Reminds me of life in Canadian military barracks constructed in the 1950s. Rooms, washrooms etc fairly spartan with 50s/60s style. But everything scrupulously clean from floors to sinks to bedding and towels.
When asking staff for anything, they were eager to ask in any way possible.
Facility was nice and quiet, but it didn't appear many people were staying there during my July/Aug stay. However, if your room faces on to Rue Guy that goes past the building, you will get traffic noise, sometimes sirens, and the odd drunk/homeless shouting late at night. Suggest requesting a room that faces inwards towards the grounds from the opposite sides of the halls (I was in F block, third floor on the row facing out to Rue Guy).
I would absolutely stay there again. Also, being located between St. Catherine and Rene Leveque streets, lots of attractions, restaurants, night life, cathedrals, museums, etc are within easy walking distance.
Kudos to the facility and the staff working there during my stay.
