Scene
Charming old home paired with updated section for leisure travelers
Set on a wide boulevard in a residential area of Quebec City, Auberge du Littoral occupies two buildings: a beige-brick house with a charming forest green turret and homey wraparound porch, and a more modern but blander, boxier building that houses the property's newer facilities. Reception, situated in the house, has a cozy, bed-and-breakfast vibe, with original and updated elements like wood wainscoting, a chandelier, and stained glass windows. The reception area extends directly into the attractive, wood-floored breakfast room and coffee lounge, with a brick fireplace and a bay window. As evidenced by the hotel's two different buildings, this property offers an amalgam of new and old elements, which range from more modern spots that can lack character to charming areas that can verge on outdated. Couples and families from afar and Quebec City locals alike are drawn to the hotel's quiet, laid-back atmosphere outside the city center.
Location
Outside city center, right off Highway 440, near some sights farther afield
The hotel is situated in a quiet, residential area off Highway 440, a main route for accessing Quebec City from the east. The riverfront is mostly lined with hotels, and although there are a few restaurants and strip malls within walking distance, a car is recommended for getting around. It's conveniently equidistant from the city center and some popular regional attractions. Montmorency Falls, Orléans Island, and Old Quebec are a 10-minute drive or less. Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport is about a 25-minute drive.
Rooms
Mostly modern renovated rooms, but some dated leftovers
The Auberge's guest rooms come in two styles. About two-thirds have been renovated and are modern, if somewhat generic, with cork floors and a dark-brown-and-white color scheme. Accents like striped bed runners brighten them up, and the furniture is functional. Bathrooms are chic, featuring shiny, black sink tops and spacious walk-in showers.The un-renovated rooms have unabashed motel-style decor, with dull gray wall-to-wall carpeting and floral or quilted bedspreads. However, they're still tidy and well-maintained, and feature bathrooms with combination showers and tubs.All units have air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, tea- and coffee-making facilities, mini-fridges, microwaves, hairdryers, and free Wi-Fi. According to the category of the room, other extras are offered, like i-Pod docking stations. The Presidential Suite has two Queen-size beds, a fully equipped kitchen, a dining room, a living room with a fireplace, and a private balcony.
