This hotel was centrally located. It's directly across a small park/square from the Chateau Frontenac and the Dufferin Terrace/St. Lawrence River can be seen one block down the hill. You can walk to numerous restaurants and shops on the Rue Saint-Jean. The hotel was very clean and the staff kind during my check-in. Be aware since this is an historic building, more of a B&B type feel, you get some wearing on the property. The wall paper was peeling from the walls of my bathroom in a couple of places and the floor in my room was uneven, sloping downward due to settling of the structure over time. The fixtures were dated, but in good working condition. Though dated, the room was charming and had a warm feeling. My one concern was due to the old nature of the building, there was no deadbolt lock or extra security mechanisms on my room door. As a trauma survivor, this was the first thing I noticed about my room and thus, I slept at night with furniture stacked against the room door. The door lock could be easily picked with a paper clip and at least if someone tried to break in while sleeping, I hoped the noise from the furniture would wake me. If safety and security are important for you, I'd recommend a different hotel for this reason. Also, the room walls are very thin at this hotel and I could hear the man in the room next door's entire hour long business conversation with swear words included! Overall, a nice and "safe" place to stay.
