Bestil hvis You want a modern, spotless base with free parking and easy mall access, and don't mind a 20-minute bus ride to Old Quebec.
Hvorfor folk elsker det
- Free indoor and outdoor parking (a rarity in Quebec City)
- Ultra-comfortable Egyptian cotton bedding
- Sleek, no-nonsense design that feels more expensive than it is
Hurtig oversigt: A stylish, eco-friendly sleep sanctuary stranded in a shopping mall parking lot—perfect if you have a car, less so if you want cobblestones at your doorstep.
Anmeldt af @cath_nad: I stayed here for a quick business trip and was obsessed with how efficient everything was. The bed was super plush, and the bathroom lighting was perfect for my morning routine. It’s small but feels incredibly chic and modern.

Reality check
The 'thin walls' complaint is consistent—light sleepers hear hallway chatter and plumbing noises from neighbors.
- You are driving and refuse to pay $30/night for parking downtown
- You are here for shopping (Laurier Québec is across the street)
- You prefer a modern, minimalist aesthetic over old-world doilies

5 ting du bør vide før du tager af sted
💡The 'closet' is often just an exposed rack/pole, typical of the minimalist design.
💡The concrete ceilings look cool (loft style) but do absolutely nothing to dampen the sound of the person walking above you.
💡You are technically in a 'hybrid' business/shopping district, so the immediate walking view is parking lots and malls.
💡The bathroom doors are often sliding barn-style, which offers less acoustic privacy than a traditional door.
💡The geothermal heating/cooling system is eco-friendly but can sometimes struggle to make the room 'ice box' cold in peak summer.
