Warum Gäste es lieben
- 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
Kurzfassung: 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.
Bewertet von @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.

- You are driving and refuse to pay $30/night for parking downtown
- You are here for shopping (Laurier Québec is across the street)

5 Dinge, die Sie wissen sollten, bevor Sie losfahren
💡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.
