Any recommendations for a nice hotel. Either in Montreal or on the way from NYC. I prefer new, modern hotels.

Expect delays on Sundays afternoon/evening.

Here is a link to check the wait time (it's the 'St-Bernard-de-Lacolle' border crossing), it's updated hourly.

If you go by car they usually just ask for papers (if you're a US or Canadian passport holder), if you go by bus, most of the times they ask you to go down with your luggage.
