Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to La Marée Haute, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the higher floors (4th or 5th) for a quieter stay. The hotel's proximity to the city center means that lower floors (1st-3rd) may experience more street noise from the pedestrian-friendly Rue Saint-Jean.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms facing the service entrance on the ground floor, as this area tends to be busier with staff and delivery activity.
Best views
Rooms on the south side of the hotel (facing Rue Saint-Jean) offer the best views of the city, while those on the north side may face a less scenic view of adjacent buildings.
Quietest floors
Floors 4-5 are likely to be the quietest, given the hotel's layout and the absence of any notable noise sources on these upper floors.
🔊 Noise notes
Guests on lower floors may be disturbed by the sounds of pedestrians and occasional street performers on Rue Saint-Jean.
Insider tips
Ask the staff about parking options, as the hotel may offer a discounted rate for guests who park off-site. Take advantage of the hotel's proximity to Rue Saint-Jean and explore the nearby shops, restaurants, and historic sites, such as the Château Frontenac and the Citadelle.
- 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
