Hôtel Palace Royal Centre-Ville par JARO
Beautiful property and the best part was the convenience of being able to walk back & forth from the conference center between my talks to all the amazing resturants in the area.

Hotel Manoir Victoria
Ideal location. Place was clean. Room wasn't ready so they gave us an upgrade. Two negatives are that the room was too warm even with the thermostat at lowest setting and the TV was way too small for the distance to the bed.

Hôtel Manoir Vieux Québec
The room was super clean and looked close to brand new. If you arrive with much luggage enter from the road behind the hotel. Easy access there, the front steps are too steep for anything but people!
