The Property — Beauséjour Appartements - Hotel Dorval
Beauséjour Appartements - Hotel Dorval is a practical, unfussy 3-star hotel near Montreal's Trudeau airport, aimed at travellers who want clean, apartment-style rooms with a kitchenette rather than frills. The lobby is small and businesslike, with a front desk that’s efficient but not chatty — you’ll see families and crew members checking in with luggage trolleys. The real asset is the location: a short shuttle ride to the airport and a 15-minute drive into central Montreal, making it a solid choice for stopovers or early flights. It suits anyone who values convenience over character.
Chronicles of Quebec
Quebec City, founded in 1608 by Samuel de Champlain, is one of the oldest European settlements in North America. Its Upper Town was fortified by the British in the 19th century, leaving a walled historic core that's now a UNESCO World Heritage site. The city’s architecture is a mix of French colonial stone buildings, Victorian row houses, and modern glass towers, concentrated within the old ramparts. Culturally, Quebec City leans heavily into its French-language identity with a thriving arts scene and festivals like the Summer Festival. Today it’s a major tourist destination, celebrated for its preserved heritage and distinct North American-French character.
Best Time to Visit
Full Quebec guide →Best months
June and September — warm, mostly dry weather with daylight up to 16 hours, and tourist crowds are thinner than July and August.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are peak summer months, plus the Quebec City Summer Festival (July) and the busy New France Festival (August). Hotel prices can double, and rooms near the old town sell out weeks ahead. The St. Jean Baptiste Day festivities on 24 June also spike demand.
Budget shoulder season
May and October offer the best budget shoulder months: milder temps (10-18°C), fewer tourists, and hotel rates drop 30-40% compared to summer. Early May can still be rainy, but October brings autumn foliage.
Weather & packing
Quebec City’s climate is continental with sharp season shifts: summers are warm and humid, but a cold front can drop the temperature 10°C overnight. Pack layers — a light jumper or cardigan even in June — and always bring a waterproof jacket.
Live City Briefing — Quebec

- The new Espace 400e interpretive centre, opened on the Port of Quebec in 2024, offers an interactive history of the city’s waterfront; it’s walk-in only and busy on weekends.
- Starting June 2026, the seasonal ferry to Lévis adjusts its schedule for summer, adding evening runs until 1am — check the Société des traversiers du Québec website for up-to-date times.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jun 2026Before you check in to Beauséjour Appartements - Hotel Dorval, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on an upper floor at the end of the corridor, away from the lift and ice machine, to reduce foot traffic noise.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms near the reception, breakfast area, or stairwell doors — these tend to carry early-morning and late-night clatter.
Best views
Ask for a south- or east-facing room on an upper floor — these often get better light and a more open outlook, but confirm the orientation at check-in as views vary by building.
Quietest floors
Higher floors (typically above the second floor) are quieter as they sit above street-level noise and lobby bustle.
🔊 Noise notes
Thin walls are common in older 3-star hotels. Pack earplugs, and avoid rooms next to the cleaning cupboard or service lift.
Insider tips
1. Book directly with the hotel and ask for a 'quiet room' — small properties often reserve their best rooms for direct bookings, not OTAs. 2. Check street view on Google Maps before you arrive: if the hotel faces a main road, request a room at the back or facing an inner courtyard.
- 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
