Central Location with Great Amenities

clean room comfortable beds great location breakfast option

My room featured a closet with hangers, very useful. The on-site restaurant provided convenient dining options. I found the beds comfortable and the location quite central for exploring. Breakfast was a good value. It offered a full selection of American-style options.

The lack of an elevator in the older building posed a slight inconvenience with luggage.

EXCELLENT Location and Friendly Staff

clean hotel helpful staff ideal location fresh towels

I found the hotel VERY clean, and the staff proved helpful throughout my stay. The location was ideal for seeing the sites I planned to visit (EVERYTHING is within walking distance!). On the days I opted out of room cleaning, the staff considerately left a basket of fresh towels outside my door. I appreciated THAT SO much.

The restaurant patio was sometimes noisy since it was DIRECTLY below my room. Despite that, it was manageable.

Rooms

9/10

The room was spacious AND clean, with a REALLY comfortable bed for a restful night. A beautiful view of the cathedral was visible right from my skylight, which I just adored. I can say my room was perfect!

Facilities

10/10

The hotel's location provides easy access to D-Day tours. Quebec Place is just a short walk away. The cathedral is up the street, and the main shopping avenue is just down a block (SO convenient!). You can even mail postcards right across the street.

Service

The staff were friendly and helpful (they even carried my bags to my room!). Breakfast had good value and tasty food, so I DEFINITELY recommend it. I was greeted with a fresh bathroom and good amenities.
