A propriedade — Motel le Marquis
Motel le Marquis sits on a commercial strip just off the Autoroute 20, a classic roadside motel with a two-storey facade, parking in front of each room, and a small outdoor pool. The lobby is functional: a front desk, a rack of local pamphlets, and the faint smell of coffee. It suits a cost-conscious road-tripper or anyone wanting a no-nonsense stopover for a night, not a destination stay.
Crónicas de Quebec
Quebec City was founded in 1608 by Samuel de Champlain as a fur-trading post, making it one of North America's oldest European settlements. Its strategic location on the St. Lawrence River led to fortifications, and the upper town’s stone ramparts and narrow streets reflect centuries of French and British military rule. After the British took control in 1759, the city expanded beyond the walls with Victorian suburbs and grand hotels like the Château Frontenac. Today, Old Quebec is a UNESCO World Heritage site, its architecture a mix of 17th-century French colonial, 19th-century British, and modern additions. Culturally, the city leans proudly Francophone, with a bustling arts scene, winter carnival, and a growing tech sector around the Université Laval.
Melhor época para visitar
Guia completo de Quebec →Melhores meses
May to October for mild weather and the city fully open; July and August are peak but offer the warmest days (20-25°C) and the most festivals.
Peak / Festival Surge
July is the busiest month, driven by the Quebec Summer Festival (Festival d'été de Québec) in early July, which draws huge crowds for concerts. Hotel prices double or triple from the June average; Motel le Marquis will likely charge £80-120 a night.
Orçamento da temporada
September and October are ideal for discounts: crowds thin after Labour Day, weather stays pleasant (10-20°C), and hotel rates drop 30-50%. October also brings autumn foliage in the nearby parks.
Tempo e embalagem
Quebec City’s climate is continental, with warm summers but cool evenings due to the St. Lawrence breeze. Pack layers: a jumper or light jacket for evenings, even in mid-summer.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Motel le Marquis, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 2nd or 3rd floor, facing the back courtyard (away from Rue Notre-Dame Est). These upper floors reduce street noise and avoid ground-level foot traffic.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms (especially those at the front near the lobby or street-facing) – they pick up street noise from the busy east–west route and any late-night footfall. Similarly, rooms directly above the lift shaft may have mechanical hum.
Best views
Front-facing rooms on the 2nd or 3rd floor overlook Rue Notre-Dame Est and the historic St-Roch district – it’s a gritty, interesting urban view, not a scenic panorama. Back rooms look onto neighbouring buildings or a small courtyard.
Quietest floors
2nd and 3rd floors, back-facing rooms (courtyard side) are the quietest. The building likely has 3 floors – top floor is best.
🔊 Noise notes
Rue Notre-Dame Est is a main arterial road with buses, trucks, and cars from early morning until late evening. There’s also foot traffic from the nearby bars and restaurants in St-Roch. No major clubs, but a steady hum till 11pm weeknights, later on weekends.
Insider tips
1. Check-in before 8pm if possible – the reception can be understaffed late; call ahead if arriving after 10pm. 2. If you have a car, street parking is paid and limited; ask if they have a deal with the nearby garage (often cheaper than meters). 3. Request a fridge for your room at booking – not all rooms have one, and it’s handy for drinks/snacks.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
