Review from Scott O.

Overall a good value. I'd likely never outright recommend this place, but it worked for us and it likely will for you too. REALLY soft beds, to the point of being uncomfortable and a fairly disinterested staff take off another star.
All said the price is right and being located just under Vieux-Quebec is fantastic. Give it a shot. -

The boy and I stayed here for one night, before continuing a road trip from Halifax to Montreal and Ottawa so I cannot speak to the hotel amenities in a ton of detail (we did not eat there or use the pool), however we had a pretty good experience here.
I mean, if you have seen one chain hotel (BW, Holiday Inn, Days Inn, etc) you have seen them all so I can't say there was anything original about it. Just your standard mid-range hotel, but we had good service from the front desk and valet - everyone we dealt with was friendly. Just be mindful that you will pay $20 a day extra to park + tips for the valets (they had a pool so we usually just threw a toonie in, but that could add up if you are in and out alot!). Our room was nice and clean - 2 queen beds. The lobby was quite small, which made it easily crowded when lots of people were checking in/out, but not a major issue.
I will say that the entrance to the hotel is on a bit of an awkward one-way street - you have to drive past the hotel and loop around in order to park in front, which was not a huge deal but sort of annoying, esp if you are in a city you have never driven in (just something to keep in mind if you are driving yourself).
Also, it is a good location but not super central. If you are looking to be close to the old part of Quebec it may not be the best choice for you. If you are driving (which we were) and don't mind parking in Old Quebec to sightsee in that area (which is what we did) than you are fine, but if not you are looking at probably a 30 minute walk to Old Quebec.
Again, not a big deal but just something to keep in mind depending on how you are structuring your trip. It really didn't matter for us as we were only there a short time anyway and we were more concerned about getting a deal than location, but if I went back again for a longer period I think I would stay somewhere more central.
So, not great but not bad. If you are looking for a reasonably priced, clean hotel than this would be a good choice, I think! -

I spent two nights here during a recent visit to Quebec. It's not a luxury hotel, but it's clean, comfortable and affordable.
The pool/jacuzzi is open from 7am-10pm, free wi-fi, plus 3 public computers in the lobby.
It's centrally located, so there's a lot to do in the neighborhood. The staff is very friendly, and you can exchange currency here. (My request was met with an "of course, madam!" from the employee at the front desk) They also have plenty of brochures about attractions in and around the city.
There were lots of kids running around while I was staying here, but that's not the hotel's fault, and it's possible that all of the hotels in the area are like that.
All in all, a very good experience! -

How much....
The hotel it self is located in the center of town, which is convenent and all. The hotel it self is a bit run down looking i would say it wont hurt if it got a face lift.
The room we got was a double queen. The room is space the bathroom is working kind of. The room has an old TV, the molding on top felt like it was going to come down on you. The bathroom had OK lighting the toilet was poorly working, the shower took a while to heat up, the vent in the bathroom keeps it cold. The solution was to run hot water for a bit to warm up the room and then take the shower.
The pool closes at 10PM, you need your guest card to get in the door. After 10 PM it wont let you open the door. Seriousl 10pm after a long day you cant even relax BOO. When i did get in the pool is small but warm and just a nice feeling. The jacuzee was not warm but did circulate water poorly - basicly it was like sitting in a warm pot that circulated water.
The other thing that kind of pissed me off was the parking?
One its valet for 20$ CAD per day they will park your car. They will park and return your car as many times as you want that day but its 20$ per day WTF. The solution was to park one day and then walk around and find a cheaper parking lot which we did for 10 CAD per day wich is cheap. The one thing is that it is kind of un-attended lot at night but you can park and leave as you please when you please. The hotel valet is un-avalbile between 12 am and 6 am. So if you want to check out at 3 am and go home YOU CANT.
The hotel does have an indoor resturant - if i where you i would skeep it so expensive might as well go to some bistro or something around the hotel or walkt to the old city - 10 min or so, lots of places to eat there.
The hotel does have a free WIFI internet if you need it.
The staff can seem a bit un-attentive at times and a bit cold as well but then again im not there for them.
If you just want a place to sleep in the middle of the city this is the place for you.
Would only return if the price is right.Listed in: Quebec

The only plus is just location. Located in the newly developed La Roche neighborhood, it is within 15 minutes walk to Old City. Be mindful that you have to take the stairs up the wall... or take the elevator (which closes early). There are plenty of restaurants nearby in either Rue St Joseph or Rue St Jean (I particularly love this street).
Valet parking is $20/night.
Gym and indoor pool exist but quite the bare minimum.
However the housecleaning service I have to rate one star only. They did not even make our bed nor take out the garbage. Funny thing is that they took some of or linens and didn't even replace it. I had to callfl for fresh linens and made my bed when we returned to the hotel late after dinner.
They just replaced our towels and that was it! If we stay in a three star rated hotel I expect some cleaning service too!!
At best I would rate this Best Western a two star. -

I stayed here for a conference at the nearby Centre des Conres in QC. The convention center is only a 10-15 min walk away. I found the staff courteous (and english-speaking), the room clean and well-furnished, and the area non-sketchy. I pricelined the reservation so I think it was cheaper than the regular rate - very affordable.
pros:
- pantene pro-v shampoo/conditioner! (yes, this goes at the top. i love me some non-terrible hotel shampoo.)
- tv with all sorts of french canadian/vermont channels
- gym (treadmill, weight machine, bike, elliptical, medicine ball)
- shower with decent (and adjustable) water pressure
- coffeemaker in room with decaf and regular options
cons:
- no continental breakfast, and their 'all american' breakfast is like $15
- no refridgerator in my room (wishful thinking)
caddy-corner (that's "diagonal", for anyone keeping track) from the hotel is a sports apparel/equipment co-op that is only in canada (mountain equipment co-op) which has some neat stuff if you like that sort of thing. also a drugstore across the street. -

This is not a luxury hotel, but its location is good. Many good resturants are around the area. Parking is an issue, but once you are used to valet parking (cost $25 per day), you will fee OK. The good thing is about this hotel is that internet access is free. I am writing this review using one of the three computers in the lobby that are free to all guests. Many staying here are families. Good value.
