Hôtel Maison du Fort

Marielle and Maison du Fort are simply lovely. A warm welcome by the proprietor and the property. No pretense but everything you need is there. The location is fantastic; no car is needed as you can walk to everything in Old Quebec. The accommodations exceeded expectations. We stayed in Room 6 and it is beautiful and it is huge! You are located on a quiet street and can get a good night's rest, then you are greeted in the morning by fresh coffee, juices and homemade goodies! You must eat at the Conti one night, it is great dining. And Old Quebec is a must-see - I will go back.

This trip was a gift for my husband and me in retirement and, as it turned out, was a gift in so many other ways! The travel directions were clear, concise and brought us to the Maison Du Fort with no difficulties at all--not one. My husband did get a little turned around when going to park the car but that was the last time we were "turned around" for our entire stay. Marielle is the proprietress of the Maison Du Fort and was there to greet us with warmth and enthusiasm. She was a fount of information and conversation, offered suggestions if asked, gave us useful maps and bulletins but, otherwise, let us just explore. She always was interested and curious about how we filled our day. Marielle is proud of her establishment. It is evident in the love and care, the thought that goes into each room and into the needs of each guest. Our room was large and very comfortable, especially the bed! It included a bath that was impeccably clean. Not a necessity or an amenity was overlooked. Marielle had a satisfying continental breakfast ready every morning at about 8:00, complete with trays to take back to our room if we chose to wake up and eat in private. She also included an English- language newspaper for our pleasure--a fact that both my husband and I appreciated very much.
