We decided to drop in for a tour here on our second visit to Quebec City, mostly just to try…read moresomething new. The tour was about an hour long and our tour guide's English was great. Plenty of jokes and interesting descriptions about the history of the place. This building was originally a jail when it was built, intended to reflect the ideology of a British man who was set on reforming prisons. Like many countries when faced with an influx of immigration, the population housed in the jail were disproportionately made up of immigrants being punished for minor offenses. It was later converted to an English-language college that didn't last very long. The building finally wound up becoming an English-language library that now serves as the English-language cultural center of Quebec City. The library is filled with artifacts as well. And that old library smell is heavenly! The tour was a little boring, but not terribly, which is the only reason I give it 4 stars. I would have liked some more photographs from that time to be displayed throughout (even though I know they're probably incredibly rare). I did find myself checking my watch, but probably because we came in starving. If you're a history buff, library nerd, or jail hobbyist (lol), definitely try to check this place out.

This was a very enjoyable tour of a building that has been through a lot in it's life. The tour of…read morethe jail and the glimpse of living conditions during Quebec's history was excellent. The library was very beautiful. Definitely worth 90 minutes of your time.

The staff were warm and friendly, which made the experience even better. We also loved exploring the souvenir shop with so many unique local items.

They ask that you arrive 30 minutes prior to your booked time and this is so you have the tour and history of maple farming. It was worth it as we learned a lot. The dinner is in a building next door, large long tables and you dine family style and as much as you want. We enjoyed this as we met other people, both local and from another country. There was also this night a large school group. They were well behaved and we enjoyed watching them when the entertainer who was playing music got them all up for a line dance. The food was delicious and when you add maple syrup to anything it did taste wonderful. We loved it and it was an experience we are happy to have done.

The rooms are huge - gorgeously decorated with paintings on the walls and dark woodwork and paneling. Our group was set up outside under a tent, and everything was just perfect.

Thirdly, breakfast was not included, but when we asked to know where the nearest breakfast places were. The head desk person told us that we had a message written in our reservation stating that we were so kind that we got one day of free breakfast. How amazing is that! Honestly, very much appreciated. For people that are visiting Quebec for a first time. And staying at this hotel for the first time, I have to say I would definitely come back. Everything is super clean.

After finally settling into our rooms, it came to our surprise, when my family and I were given a bottle of sparkling Champagne! There was even a letter, explaining how we were so kind towards the staff, that the hotel supervisor wanted to give us a little something special and make sure that we enjoy our stay. It was so thoughtful; no one in my family was expecting this kind and generous gesture. Unfortunately, breakfast is not included; however there is a restaurant that is connected. When asking to know about any other locations to go grab a bite, the staff member at the desk heard about our kindness and told us that it was added in our reservation that we were allowed one day of free breakfast at the restaurant next door. This was so amazingly sweet! Honestly, wasn't expecting that a small act of kindness can lead to all this. Anyone who is visiting Quebec City for the first time, I truly recommend this hotel. I honestly had an amazing time, that if I ever came back, I would definitely come back to this hotel. Everything was perfect; from a clean room, to beautiful decorations in every hall, there was nothing to be disappointed about. Especially with the staff members who were super nice, kind and very welcoming, everything was just perfect. Overall it was a great stay and great time. Definitely recommend as a place to stay.
