589.0. "Help With Quebec S'il vous plait" by FACT01::BORDEN () Thu Jul 02 1992 21:27

    My wife and I are planning to go to Quebec city and the Laurentides for
    a week near the end of August.  We found a hotel called Suites Journeys
    End in the suburbs of Quebec City.  American Express had a special rate
    of CDN$70.00 per night.  Anybody know about this place?  We chose to
    stay out of the city to have a quieter environment and be between the
    city and the Laurentides.  Is there good public transportation into
    downtown Quebec or is is better to drive in and then take public trans?  
    
    Also all suggestions for sights, restaurants, places, anything to see or
    avoid both in the city and in the Laurentides are greatly appreciated.

    Doug,
    Thanks for your reply.  We will take your advice and take a look at
    I'le D'Orleans.

589.3I've been there!POLAR::LEVESQUEWed Jul 08 1992 21:5014
    I've been at Les Suites Journeys End a couple of times. It is a very
    nice hotel and very confortable too. I'm talking about the one that is
    located just beside a big shopping center called "Les Galeries de la 
    Capitale" west of Quebec City. It is about 10-15 min drive to 
    downtown Quebec. If you want a quiet environment, I suggest you ask 
    for a room not facing the highway nearby.
    
    I can't tell you about public transportation but it is relatively easy 
    to park almost anywhere in Quebec City at reasonable cost.
    
    Bon voyage!

589.4Chateau Bonne Entente Recommendations???FACT01::BORDENWed Jul 22 1992 12:176
    Thanks for the answers.  We are also looking at another hotel called
    Chateau Bonne Entente because Suites Journies End does not have a
    swimming pool and we would like one.  Anyone familiar with this one?
    
    Regards,
    Jay

589.7MerciFACT01::BORDENSun Jul 26 1992 01:3512
    Thanks to all for responding.  At this point it looks like we will be
    going with the Chateau Bonne Entente.  
    
    My wife and I are looking forward to this trip.  Numerous people have
    told us they enjoyed Quebec very much.  As we both also enjoy mountains
    the Laurentides will be our other destination.  From looking at the
    maps both the city and the mountains should be easy to reach for day
    trips from either the Chateau Bonne Entente or Suites Journies end. 
    Again, thanks for the help.
