Tons of hotels in the area. Jump on google maps as suggested and take your pick. We stayed in the Holiday Inn Express down the road. It was fair. Not great but good enough. The area isn't exactly the nicest area of Montreal so set your expectations low so that you can be pleasantly surprised if it's better.
