Delta Centre Ville: A good location in downtown Montreal

by Bwana_Brown

In October, 2003 I attended an international conference in Montreal, sponsored by the Paris-based CIGRE organization (in English the 'International Committee on Large Electrical Systems'). Because they were using the conference facilities of the Delta Centre-Ville, that is where we stayed. I liked both the service and the location of the hotel - altogether a top-rate facility.

I have experienced quite a few different hotels in Montreal over the years and have found them all to be of quite a high standard. Unless you are really going cheap, you are likely to enjoy your time in the city!

The Delta is a 28-storey hotel with a circular restaurant on its top floor (we never made it that high) and we had a great view of the city from our 27th floor room. The room was very spacious and had a great king-sized bed.

We also took advantage of the underground parking at the hotel (US$13 per day). I also found that the restaurant on the main floor of the hotel was very good. As far as location is concerned, the Delta is only a few blocks away from the historic and picturesque Vieux Montreal area or you can strike out north for just a few blocks and you are into the underground-connected shopping maze in the modern core of the city. The room rate was US$100/night or $120 including taxes. The photo shows part of the roof-top restaurant peeking out to the left of the 'Delta' logo.

Auberge Place D'Armes: Fantastic Location

by Bwana_Brown

All of my previous trips to Quebec City had been due to either business meetings or just a one-night stop-over on the way home from Montreal or points further west. During this late-May, 2005 trip to the city, my wife's sister (Pauline) was visiting us from Cornwall, England. We had to come up with something a bit different for her visit, so we said let's spend a few days in Quebec City. No point in sparing the expense, or 'let's throw the cat another goldfish' as we would say in the Maritimes! We booked ourselves into a very nice Auberge (Inn) located in the heart of the walled-section of Quebec City.

This photo shows the pedestrian part of Ste Anne street running in front of Auberge Place D'Armes, with its small oval black sign. Adjoining it on the ground floor is a nice little restaurant, the Pain Beni, with part of its suspended red sign visible. We were located on the top floor overlooking both the street and the Chateau Frontenac hotel across the square.

Our bill, with taxes, came to C$350 (US$280) for three people for two nights. This included the extra person charge of C$20 per night.

Our room at Auberge Place D'Armes was very comfortable and well appointed. The main bed was great for a nice slumber (2nd photo) and, in European style, the TV was hung from the ceiling on a swivel arrangement to provide more useable space in the walking part of the room. To the right of the bed was a small washbasin and a full bath/shower with a dividing curtain from the remainder of the room.

The other end of the room (3rd photo) featured a real brick wall and contained a small couch which doubled as a pull-out bed. To the left on this photo, another very small room contained the toilet with a second washbasin and mirror. Our view out over the Place D'Armes toward the Chateau Frontenac was through two sets of windows to the right.

Since the Auberge is located on the pedestrian-only part of Ste. Anne street, we had no problems at all with noise. I imagine this would be a great spot during the summer months, with the sidewalk tables already set up on the street (but, this time, it was too cold and windy for anyone to use them) along with the stands of various artisans!

Auberge sur Mer (Inn on the Sea): Oceanfront setting

by Bwana_Brown

Located in Bassin on the southwest coast of the island of Havre Aubert, in the Iles de la Madeleine, this inn is a large old house with a great view of the nearby lighthouse off to its right (from this vantage point). The inn has nine well-decorated rooms and we were lucky enough to get one upstairs with a centre balcony overlooking the ocean. The lady who owns the inn has some trouble with her English, but between the two of us we had enough French and English to figure out what we were trying to say! This was the best accommodation we enjoyed on any of the islands during our week-long explorations of the archipelego.

It was fun sitting out on our 2nd floor balcony in the evening, sipping our wine as the ocean airs wafted by. As the light faded, we saw, in the distance, the cruise ferry "Vacancier" leaving for Montreal with its lights blazing. It reminded us of enjoying a similar view while in Cancun not too long before, watching the Cozumel cruise ships departing each night! This accommodation cost us C$161 including taxes (US$120) for one night with breakfast included.

The dining room (2nd photo) was very well decorated and had great window views over the Gulf. The breakfast we had in this spacious dining area was the best that we had during our trip. After serving yourself fresh orange juice, we had a fruit entree of blueberries, strawberries and cooked rhubarb around a scoop of sherbet. This was followed by the main course of French toast and strips of bacon as well as steaming hot coffee. The closer to the meal was a light merangue dish.

St. Ubaldé "La Maison Denis": Such confidence!!!

by pfsmalo

We had not booked this b+b, just turned up. Friends of the owner were washing down the deck and we were told " the owner is not here" but don't worry, come in, it's o.k. We were shown the rooms on a take your pick basis while 1 friend contacted the owner. Owner was in Montreal for the weekend, but no problem "it's 60 dollars, just leave the money on the table when you leave". We were speechless!!! We were also told everything for breakfast is in the fridge, Help yourselves. A great night's sleep, a good breakfast. Needless to say that when we left, the 60 dollars were left on the table, with a note of thanks, but we still haven't seen the owner!!!

Please see above.

Auberge Maison Roy: Quebec city b and b

by pfsmalo

Made very welcome , even though we had not reserved. Even got the room with the small balcony.

Off road car parking available right there . Appreciable in town.

Ste. Anne de Beaupré Auberge "La Grande Ourse": Not far from Quebec city

by pfsmalo

Forget the kitsch of Ste. Anne de Beaupré, there is plenty to visit other than the basilica, and stay at this lovely b and b for 1 or 2 nights.

Very, very homely and once again a great welcome and the feeling you are almost at home. We even had a four poster in our room.

Maeva montreal: Montreal hostel

by pfsmalo

Essentially a backpackers hostel, they do have one or two private rooms, albeit without en-suite washrooms.

Very friendly atmosphere

"Le Pimbina": Mont-Tremblant's best ?

by pfsmalo

Stayed here for 2 nights at the beginning of our trip and never regretted it, from the welcome to the ENORMOUS breakfast, this was a superb stay.

Never got to use the hot tub but there is one if you need it. Is also on the main road that leads from the old Mt. Tremblant village up to the new village on the mountain.

Chateau Frontenac: Historic hotel in Quebec City

by bkathryn

The Chateau Frontenac is an historic hotel in the heart of Old Quebec City. Though it's a bit pricy, it's lovely to stay in, if you have the opportunity!

Great views.

Camping with a view in Tadoussac

by AKtravelers

The campground in Tadoussac is on a bluff overlooking the town. If you get there early enough, you may even be able to secure a site with a view of the confluence of the Saguenay and St. Lawrence Rivers. If not, the place is big enough where you should usually be able to find a vacant site.
The campground is easy to find. Don't enter the town, but continue on the Trans-Canada highway as it climbs from the ferry landing. The campground will be on your right.
One warning. Because of the steep hill and the all-night traffic on the Trans-Canada highway, you will hear trucks breaking and/or climbing all night. If you're sleeping in a tent, it could seem pretty loud if your site is by the road.
