부동산 — Howard Johnson
The Howard Johnson in Quebec City is a reliable, no-frills chain hotel a short drive from Old Quebec, with a functional lobby that smells of coffee and cleaning products. Its main draw is value: clean rooms with essential amenities, free parking, and a decent breakfast buffet that saves you time and money. It suits budget-conscious families or road-trippers who want a quiet base outside the tourist-packed walls, and don’t mind a twenty-minute bus ride to the historic district.
Quebec 연대기
Quebec City began as a French fur-trading post in 1608, founded by Samuel de Champlain, making it one of North America’s oldest European settlements. Its fortified core, Vieux-Québec, retains 17th-century stone buildings, narrow streets, and the landmark Château Frontenac. The city’s dual heritage – French and British – is visible in its architecture, from the Ursuline convent to Parliament Hill. Today, it’s a UNESCO World Heritage site and a vibrant cultural hub, proudly French-speaking but increasingly bilingual and international.
방문하기 가장 좋은 시간
Quebec 완전 가이드 →최고의 달
June, September, early October: warm weather (15-25°C), fewer crowds than July-August, and outdoor festivals like Fête Nationale (June) or autumn foliage.
Peak / Festival Surge 근처 오락거리
July and August are peak: weather is hot (sometimes 30°C), the city is jammed with cruise-ship crowds, and hotel prices double. The Québec City Summer Festival (early July) and Fêtes de la Nouvelle-France (August) drive demand—book three months ahead.
Budget Shoulder 시즌
May and September-October are the budget sweet spots: hotel rates drop 30-40%, crowds thin, and the weather remains pleasant for walking. Fall foliage peaks in late September.
날씨 & 포장
Quebec’s climate can switch from sunny 28°C to rainy 15°C in one afternoon; June often brings cool evenings and thunderstorms. Pack layers: a light rain jacket, a sweater for evenings, and sturdy walking shoes for the cobbled streets.
City Briefing 근처 오락거리 — Quebec
- The Québec City tramway project has been delayed, so expect ongoing road construction on Route 175 and near the hotel through summer 2026—plan extra 10-15 minutes driving into Old Quebec.
- The Dufferin Terrace boardwalk near Château Frontenac is undergoing partial renovation this spring and summer; some sections may be closed, but the castle and views remain accessible.
- A new food hall, Le Bistrot de la Gare, opened in the Palais Station area in early 2026, offering affordable local dishes—great for a quick meal before heading to Île d'Orléans.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Howard Johnson, here's what to know about choosing the right room.

Rooms to avoid

Best views
Rooms on the east or west side of the hotel (top floor) will likely offer views of the surrounding neighborhood, while those on the north side may have a glimpse of the nearby river.
Quietest floors
The top floor (third floor) is likely to be the quietest, as it's farthest from the road and any potential noise from the lobby.
