589.3 | I've been there! | POLAR::LEVESQUE | | Wed Jul 08 1992 18:50 | 14 |
| I've been at Les Suites Journeys End a couple of times. It is a very
nice hotel and very confortable too. I'm talking about the one that is
located just beside a big shopping center called "Les Galeries de la
Capitale" west of Quebec City. It is about 10-15 min drive to
downtown Quebec. If you want a quiet environment, I suggest you ask
for a room not facing the highway nearby.
I can't tell you about public transportation but it is relatively easy
to park almost anywhere in Quebec City at reasonable cost.
Bon voyage!

589.4 | Chateau Bonne Entente Recommendations??? | FACT01::BORDEN | | Wed Jul 22 1992 09:17 | 6 |
| Thanks for the answers. We are also looking at another hotel called
Chateau Bonne Entente because Suites Journies End does not have a
swimming pool and we would like one. Anyone familiar with this one?
Regards,
Jay

589.5 | I liked it! | KAOFS::LOCKYER | | Wed Jul 22 1992 10:25 | 17 |
| I've stayed at the Ch�teau Bonne Entente two or three times. Quite a
nice place - very clean, nice grassy area in the middle of a number of
small "cabins". We didn't have kids when we stayed there, but it would
be a goof place for children - the play area and pool are away from
roads. Seems to me the restaurant was good and I know the bar was
fine...
Only negative, and I think it's vary minor, is the place isn't new -
you won't find much aluminum and glass, but then who needs it!
As I said above, I've stayed there more than once, and assumming it
hasn't gone rapidly downhill, I stay there again.
Regards,
Garry

589.6 | More about Ch�teau Bonne Entente... | KAOFS::LOCKYER | | Wed Jul 22 1992 10:30 | 13 |
| Ch�teau Bonne Entente is actually in St. Foy - just west of Qu�bec
City. Very easy to get to from the bridge over the St. Laurence and a
short drive into the city itself.
I stayed there when participating in a hot air balloon festival held in
a little town on the south side of the river called
Saint-Jean-sur-Chrisistolm (sp?). It seems to me the event was held
near the end of July or early August. You might want to keep on a eye
on the sky...
Regards,
Garry

589.7 | Merci | FACT01::BORDEN | | Sat Jul 25 1992 22:35 | 12 |
| Thanks to all for responding. At this point it looks like we will be
going with the Chateau Bonne Entente.
My wife and I are looking forward to this trip. Numerous people have
told us they enjoyed Quebec very much. As we both also enjoy mountains
the Laurentides will be our other destination. From looking at the
maps both the city and the mountains should be easy to reach for day
trips from either the Chateau Bonne Entente or Suites Journies end.
Again, thanks for the help.
Regards from Connecticut,
Jay Borden
