I would stay here again. The room was clean and the spa/ pool area was exceptional. Only reason I didn't give five stars was because of the terrible smells in the hallway.

A very good value for the price. Everything in the room was brand new. Close to the Université Laval, which is good for me and anyone doing business, giving lecture or visiting. The inside pool atrium is a nice place to relax.

really 2.5/5 hôtel, the check in was good and the room was okay. but this is a hotel for families so it’s not for people who wants quiet and relaxing space. The walls between two suites are so thin i can hear people from the room beside me. i can hear them walking, running and everything. never coming back again lol

Very clean. Had touches of luxury- which was nice for people on a budget. The pool was beautiful with the real chirping birds and statues of polar bears and palm trees. My two year old had a lot of fun swimming. The hotel staff were very friendly. Although I spoke French with them the entire time, it appeared as though all staff were bilingual.

Pros-location, it as within walking distance to many stores and only 15 minutes to Old Quebec and the aquarium. There was a restaurant attached to the hotel that was very convenient!
Cons-staff wasn’t very helpful as far as giving information. The elevator didn’t work for most of our stay which was hard with a stroller and a baby. The pool was very small, crowded and didn’t feel clean.

When we first arrived we checked into a room that I had not booked. I went to front desk and told them about the issue and they were so amazing! They helped me get sorted into a different room. 10/10 experience, I would definitely stay here again!

Room was ok but rough looking. This place needs a reno. Bad patching on the walls, heater and plug coming off the wall. Marks everywhere. There is plaster falling off the walls in the hallway, the one floor is flooding down. The beds were comfy and tempture was good. It was clean and shower hot. Its the holidays so it is busy but still quiet which was nice. Pool is small but sauna was excellent. Its nixe that Boston pizza is attached.
