Q: Québec City, Canada

Notre-Dame de Québec Basilica-Cathedral: Québec City, Canada (December 2016)

Focusing has been difficult the past few months, so I'm taking an alternative approach to A-Z this year: looking back at past travel, editing or re-editing images from travels before, and responding to travel-related questions. Hope you are able to join me on this journey to my past!

For Day Q, I decided to go with this shot of a stained glass window in Québec. I was trying to only post images I hadn't shared on my blog before … or images that I had shared before but that I was able to re-edit and make look better. I tend to focus most of my post images on location shots – like an exterior shot. I'm very particular about which interior shots I share, because there is only so much room for it on a blog post! And you all only have so much interest in seeing them. 

Other places I considered for this post: I can't think of any other Q places I've been to!

On to today's questions –

49. What's the worst piece of travel advice you have ever received?

Every time we ask for advice about when we should arrive at the airport, it's usually wrong. 

We once were told we could arrive at CDG one hour before departure and be fine. While we wouldn't typically follow that advice, we also had limited time for returning a rental car in "as good of condition or better" than we rented it in. So, we pushed our limits. BIG mistake. HUGE. Don't do that.😛

When we were visiting Sharm-El-Sheikh, we noticed the airport was tiny, so we asked hotel staff how early they thought we should arrive at the airport for our domestic flight to Cairo. They told us an hour. Once again, I got distracted – this time shooting the beauty of Sharm! We departed for the airport approximately an hour before we needed to board our plane. Then we saw the line. 😳 Trying not to freak, we jumped into line. We stood there for nearly 30 minutes with the line not moving. Then, we heard someone shouting "Anyone going to Cairo?" We rushed to the front of the line "Yes! Yes!" They asked for our tickets (the only flight tickets for our entire trip that we had been given in advance), which we temporarily struggled to find (another minor freak out) and then began going through security. Much to our surprise, we actually made it onto our flight to Cairo checked bags and all with only 30 minutes actually spent in the airport and a lot of time spent freaking out in line.

So, while we've generally gotten in trouble for listening to people regarding airport time tables, there was one time when we were wrong and the people we listened to were right. As it turns out, in Lana'i City, the airport opens as a specific time and not a minute before. Even if your goal is to arrive two hours before your domestic flight back to the mainland, you will not be able to get through security until the airport opens. And with two terminals, they don't let you go through security, even when the airport is open, until only about 30 minutes before your flight takes off. In this case, the cab driver we talked to was correct in saying we would be fine only allowing an hour at the airport. I guess it all depends on the city you are visiting, the time of year, and your comfort levels.

50. How much stuff have you lost while traveling?

I lost some of my favorite hair clips while traveling. That was a little devastating because I had had them since high school. I'm not really good at keeping track of my things, though, so it was inevitable that it would happen someday.

I've also lost (or left behind) $100 headphones, cell phone chargers, camera battery chargers, camera batteries, etc… When I unplug my phone from being charged or take a necklace off my neck, I have to put it in my luggage right away or it runs the risk of being left behind.

When you are packing it's a good idea to only bring things you are comfortable losing. And always double check your hotel room to see if you left anything behind! Check under the bed, in drawers, etc… In fact, ideally, just don't use the drawers. You are more likely to see any items you are leaving behind if they are out on surface areas rather than put away.

51. Which religious or spiritual site you've visited has been your favorite?

Justin and I went to the Mustafa Mosque in Sharm-El-Sheikh right after we visited The Heavenly Cathedral. While I do love seeing the insides of beautiful churches, I think my favorite spiritual site view was seeing this mosque as the sun was going down. We weren't actually allowed to enter because they were doing their five o'clock prayer but was nice seeing the gorgeous sunset, hearing the beautiful call to prayer, and taking in the architecture that made up the building. It was an experience unto itself.

Have you ever received really bad advice that you followed? What happened?

What You Need to Know about Via Rail Canada

It's day fifteen (for me) in the A-Z blog challenge! This month I'll be sharing all about my Christmas/New Year's travels to Canada – providing insight into the places I went, reviewing the hotels I stayed at, and telling my story. Today's letter is T for transit, like Via Rail in Canada. 

Because our Amtrak train arrived in Montréal so late, our very first experience in Canada was exploring Montréal's Central Station before boarding Via Rail for our trip to Québec City the next morning.

Québec City: Restaurants & Grand Allée

It's day fourteen (for me) in the A-Z blog challenge! This month I'm sharing all about my Christmas/New Year's travels to Canada – providing insight into the places I went, reviewing the hotels I stayed at, and telling my story. Today's letter is R for restaurants in Québec City and some of the best things to eat there. Feel free to follow along as I make my way through the alphabet this month! :)

As I mentioned yesterday, one of the first things we did after disembarking the Via Canada Rail train was to search out good food. We went through the tunnel linking our hotel to the convention center and eventually made our way to the…

More Than Just a Hotel: Château Frontenac

It's day eleven (for me) in the A-Z blog challenge! This month I'll be sharing all about my Christmas/New Year's travels to Canada – providing insight into the places I went, reviewing the hotels I stayed at, and telling my story. Today's letter is N for new experiences at Château Frontenac, a gorgeous (more than) hotel built in 1893 with its focus being wealthy tourists.

Even though Château Frontenac was at the top of my must-stay hotel list for Québec City, Canada, the price was simply outside of our range. Plus, given that I didn't have status with the Fairmont chain, I didn't want to book a "cheap" room (there are no cheap rooms at this hotel!) with the risk of not being upgraded to a room with a view of the Saint Laurent River. At least with the Hilton, I knew I had a chance!

Nevertheless, you can't visit Québec City without making a point to check out the beautiful Château Frontenac.

Originally built to accommodate visitors to the 1893 Chicago World's Fair, Château Frontenac was not completed in time. Instead, the hotel more notably held guests from The Québec Conference of 1943 and was used as the filming location for Alfred Hitchcock's film I Confess. Château Frontenac is the most prominent feature of the Québec City skyline and stands at 262 feet tall/79.9 meters; it is the ninth tallest building in Québec City situated atop a high elevation of 177 feet/54 meters and was built in sections with the most recent addition added as late as 1993.

While we didn't stay at the hotel, we definitely took part in many of the activities found at the hotel including tobogganing, Christmas shopping at the local stores, eating maple candy just outside the hotel, and enjoying a lovely after dinner treat at Bar 1608 inside the hotel.

Before we ventured to Québec City, I had read about some of the many "sports" available there. Snow skiing, dog-sledding, ice skating, and, of course, tobogganing. Having grown up in a place where temperatures only dip as low as perhaps 30ºF for only a few days in the year, I was highly interested in trying some of these sports. But a lack of time meant we needed to stick with simple activities. And a lack of money meant we needed to keep those simple activities fairly cheap. Thus: tobogganing was our only option. (I've never snow skied before, so that would have required a learning curve, dog-sledding seemed rather expensive, and ice skating would have taken too much of our time.)

To toboggan, you have to go into a coffee shop just outside Château Frontenac (on the Saint Laurent River side) and pay for your tickets. You get one ticket for each person. Then, you wait in line beside the fence where the slide(?) ends to get a toboggan. Then, you carry the toboggans up the hill. There are no steps and the hill can be quite slippery as the snow compacts into ice. Wood boards will help make the climb easier ad prevent you from sliding as much, but good gripping shoes are certainly helpful.

Once at the top, it's a waiting game. First, you wait for your turn. Then, you sit on the toboggan and wait for everyone else to get settled. If it is your first time tobogganing, it's likely you will feel nervous having heard all of the screams coming from the people tobogganing before you. Don't be anxious. :) Tobogganing, at least a this location, in my opinion, was a bit like riding a roller coaster slide, if such a thing were to exist. It's bumpy and feels super fast at 45mph (or 70 km/h). Definitely a fun experience and worthy of doing at least once during your time in Québec City.

After the fun toboggan run, we went into the small coffee shop to get a hot chocolate … only it didn't look so good, so we left.

Do not be surprised to see people in the coffee shop taking up tables and seats to prepare for their own toboggan run. People will be in various states of dress (for the cold) putting on multiple socks, adding layers on top of layers, and making sure they are in order before venturing out into the cold. Service workers in this location don't seem to mind. (I'm guessing they make most of their money on toboggan tickets.)

As we wandered around to the front side of the hotel (facing the city), we discovered Tire Sur La Neige (maple taffy on snow). While this wasn't our first experience with the delicious treat (video of that to come in a future post!), we did enjoy it all the same.

Exploring the inside of Château Frontenac was an experience in itself.

We enjoyed the beautiful Christmas trees, each hosted and decorated by companies…

See the decorations they used?

A thermostat?

A sponge?

Old newspaper ad clippings?

We also glanced through stores at expensive goods beyond our financial level. 

As nice as it might be to own a real fur, I simply couldn't see paying hundreds of dollars for something I would never wear.

Then we made our way to the bar 1608.

The line to get in was incredibly long and we had to wait almost an hour to get in, but it was worth it. (You cannot make reservations in advance.)

I ordered hot chocolate and Justin got some speciality drinks off the menu.

We also got a cheese and meet plate.

Sitting at the bar, we watched the snow come down in blizzard like conditions outside. 

The location of 1608 and the octagonal shape of the windows only dramatized the snow making us grateful to be in such a warm location.

As we left, we spotted a window where meat and cheese hung to entice guests to visit the hotel bar and restaurant… Of course, we felt it only added to the experience making the meat and cheese bar all the more enticing. :)

Even though I can't say for sure whether or not a stay at Château Frontenac is worth it, Justin and I thoroughly enjoyed exploring the hotel and would consider both tobogganing and returning to 1608 again in the future.

How familiar with cold weather sports are you? Have you tried tobogganing before? Would you ever consider exploring a hotel, like Château Frontenac simply for the sake of exploring it? … even if you aren't staying there?

Is it worth taking a ride on the Lévis Ferry?

It's day ten (for me) in the A-Z blog challenge! This month I'll be sharing all about my Christmas/New Year's travels to Canada – providing insight into the places I went, reviewing the hotels I stayed at, and telling my story. Today's letter is L for the Lévis Ferry, a transportation option that goes between Québec City and the city of Lévis across the St. Lawrence River (St. Laurent) every 15 minutes beginning at 6 AM and continuing until 2 AM daily. The ferry provides fantastic views from the water and a great opportunity to explore another nearby Canadian city without hopping in your car.

Rather than sharing in depth the adventure that is Lévis Ferry, instead I'm going to let my images and video speak for themselves…

A few notes:

+ the amount of ice on any given day can alter the schedule

+ Other websites have indicated that you can pay for one ticket and ride round trip, but mine and my husband's experience is that you need to buy both the to and from tickets to ride round trip.for 3.55$ CAD per ticket. They make everyone exit the boat and then reboard once you get to Lévis.

+ Unsurprisingly, it is COLD out on the water. Wear warm clothing.

+ You can hear ice cracking as you pass through if you are outside; it is the coolest thing! :)

+ Indoors, the boat offers a snack and hot drink vending machine. Make sure you have Canadian dollars and coins for purchases.

+ Cars can be taken across the river on the ferry.

Having seen the images and video, what do you think? Would you consider taking the Lévis Ferry to get a different view of Québec City or explore the city of Lévis?

Hilton Québec City

It's day nine (for me) in the A-Z blog challenge! This month I'll be sharing all about my Christmas/New Year travels to Canada – providing insight into the places I went, reviewing the hotels I stayed at, and telling my story. Today's letter is I for the "inn" or, rather, the HiltoN, we stayed at in Québec City, Canada. Feel free to follow along as I make my way through the alphabet this month! :)

image from Hilton Hotels website

Our time in Canada was short and we were hoping to get the most out of both cities. Since we would be returning to Montréal for New Year's eve, we opted to continue on taking Via Canada Rail (another post) to Québec City from L’hôtel Le Germain Montréal. It ended up taking yet another half day before finally reaching our ultimate destination… (So tomorrow we get to the actual city exploration bit! Hooray! Are you ready?)

Destination: Québec City, Canada
Date: December 2016
Hotel: Hilton Québec City
Brand: Hilton
Elite Status: diamond
# of travelers: 2
nights: 2

Making the Decision

My first choice for a hotel in Québec City was the Fairmont, or Château Frontenac (Wondering why? I'll cover that in another post since it is more than a hotel). I had every intention of booking and was even going to take advantage of my Club1Hotels free sign-up for a cheaper room. Alas, it didn't work out … or at least not with a trip to Hawai'i in my near future. The cost was simply too much. Instead, we opted to use points and stay for approximately 100$ CAN per night. With my Hilton status, this ended up working out to be a great deal for us. Read on and you will see why… :)

Getting There

Planes, trains, and automobiles…

Okay, so maybe we didn't take a car or taxi, but I recommend it. Dragging your luggage uphill from the train station on icy and snowy roads when you aren't familiar with the area is not the most fun experience. Maybe if you are traveling here in the spring, summer, or fall when the weather is nice? … Or, perhaps, if you are a good packer that knows how to and successfully packs light? (I only had one roller bag and a backpack with my camera, but I didn't feel that was light enough for the hill climbing we did.)

However, we did officially arrive by train – Via Rail Canada – to the cutest train station I have ever been in. It was super small and, upon arriving, made me feel like I was in a European Christmas village with all of the French language and cute decor.

We did not use the airport, so I can't remark on that other than to say there is no airport shuttle and that, if you choose to rent a car, parking costs $21 a night and you have very limited in/out privileges (read 2 free in/outs and 1 free exit). In other words, don't plan on doing much driving or plan to pay $32 for the valet to park your car, so that you can have unlimited in/out privileges. The upside is that most of Québec City is within a 15-minute walking radius, so, even if you don't opt for taxis, you will rarely have the need to drive anywhere so long as you stay inside the city.

Checking-In & Status Recognition

When we arrived mid-morning, the line for check-in was already lengthy. We waited a good 30-45 minutes in the Hilton Honors line, noting that neither line moved much during the entire time we were waiting. There were approximately three staff members behind the desk, but it seemed to take at least 15 minutes for each couple/family to be checked in.

On the upside, when we finally got to the front desk, the person we spoke with was very courteous and immediately apologized for our wait. She noted my Hilton status and promptly offered us a room upgrade to the 21st floor and a room with a view overlooking the city and river. She also gave us $16 in free drink vouchers per night we were at the hotel, free breakfast buffet vouchers for the more expensive hot buffet (as opposed to continental), and free bottled waters. Upon seeing our room (and enjoying our free drinks and food!), we felt any line that would get us these phenomenal perks was worth it! (Even better if they offer you these perks without making you wait in line!)

Elevators, Room, View

While we didn't notice this immediately, one thing we came to realize rather quickly is that the elevators in this hotel close fast. Do not attempt to hold the door open, because the door will close on you.

Aside from that, our room (and stay at the hotel) was quite lovely. We had paid for the most simple room on the ground floor, so an upgrade to a room with a view of the river was very nice. In fact, later, upon talking to the concierge, when he asked what room we were in, he remarked "Ah! 2121! The room with the view! Are you liking it?" I mean – how many concierges know the hotel so well that they can comment on one particular room?

Justin and I had plenty of space to spread out, so we did. :) We took advantage of the mini fridge by placing our waters in there, and Justin, unlike at other hotels, opted to make coffee with the pod-style coffee maker while we watched the sun come up. (There is no better way to spend a morning!) There was a safe in the room, bathrobes for relaxing in, wi-fi (free for HHonors members), a large TV, and an iron and board in case you need to dress up.

One thing to note about the view from the room: even though it is exquisite, the window panes in the hotel are old and, therefore, not the cleanest/collect condensation when the weather is bad. If you have any intention of taking pictures from your room, this will obviously affect the quality of the shots you get. However, if you aren't in the room predominately for photographic reasons, this shouldn't affect you too much. I just wanted to mention that this one of the few downsides for staying at this hotel.

Bathroom

The bathroom was typically Hilton – decent at best. Old and not updated to a modern style, but clean and nicely sized. Soap, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, and a hair dryer were available for use.

Bar

Justin and I didn't stay at the hotel long on our first day, beyond tiredly enjoying the beautiful city view from our room for a few minutes. Then it was off to find adventure! … and eat a lunch of poutine, my first experience trying the local dish. :)

While we did accomplish a lot during our first day in Québec City, we were surprised to discover that the city practically shuts down around 4 or 5 o'clock, when the sun goes down, during the winter. Tiredly, we made our way back to the hotel uncertain if we wanted to take advantage of our free drinks. Ultimately, we decided to go for it… And honestly, I can think of no better way to end your day in Québec City during the winter than at a bar. (And I don't particularly enjoy drinking.)

The first night we got to the bar around 9 PM, exhausted. We sat at the bar (me practically laying at the bar) and looked at the menu. Justin ordered the La Vache Folle beer and I got the Michel Jodoin carbonated crackling cider.

YUM!

I'm not a fan of beer or cider really, yet I loved the Michel Jodoin brand. Attempts to find the cider in the states since (and even in Canada) have proved futile. It seems I have found a reason to return to Québec City and specifically the Hilton Québec City, if only for that cider! :)

I could not drink all of my beverage, and certainly not as fast as Justin downed his beer, so we left the rest of my drink sadly at the bar as we returned to our room.

Of course, as we were paying, the bartender kindly addressed the fact that we had not used our full credit. As it turns out, the $16 drink credit Hilton Québec City offers you is for 16$CAD in drinks and not just up to 16$CAD in one drink. The bartender charged us for some water bottles to go attempting to get us up to our 16$CAD limit. I do believe that was the night I fell in love with him … and Québec City. :)

On night two, we knew better how Québec City worked and how to get the most of our 16$CAD drink credit. We went in seeking dessert – a Christmas log, to be specific. Unfortunately, the bar had just sold the last one by the time we ordered. :( We ended up with overpriced macarons and tea instead. Justin also bought a cocktail and I got the rosé-inspired Michel Jodoin cider, which I didn't like as much. Clearly, night one was better for us at the bar. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our free drinks and food, finding it the perfect wind down and luxury experience before retiring for the evening.

I always like to note particularities, and this one specifically will be important for families: If the hotel gives you drink credits and you have children under drinking age accompanying you, you will have to sit on the restaurant side as opposed to the bar side. They will ask you if everyone in your party is of age to be sitting both at the bar and at the tables in the same section as the bar and will redirect you if that's not the case.

Allegro Restaurant & Buffet Breakfast

By day two in Québec City (after our first night at the Hilton), we were more well informed about the structure of the city of Québec. Waking up early was imperative in order to get the most out of our day. So, that's what we did. We set our alarm clock for 6:30 AM so that we would be awake in time for sunrise, then we could get breakfast by 7 AM and be out exploring the city soon after.

We were quite happy to enjoy a buffet breakfast in the hotel's Allegro restaurant. We walked down to the lobby and stood at the hostess stand uncomfortably waking to find out if we were supposed to be seated or if the breakfast buffet was a seat yourself kind of affair. Luckily, we soon discovered that we were supposed to be seated, as we expected. Hotel coupons for the breakfast buffet are either all-inclusive and are for everything at the buffet or continental only (for only cold items). Our buffet tickets were all-inclusive and even came with coffee for my husband and hot tea for me. :)

Buffet options included yogurt, breads (regular sliced sandwich bread, bagels), muffins, eggs, breakfast potatoes, meats, cheeses, juices, milk, fruit, cereal, and varying warm ready-made items (day one it was crepes, day two offered french toast).

The buffet breakfast area at Allegro was particularly crowded our first day visiting since there seemed to be an event going on, but the second day was less so. Given that the crowds were somewhat heavy during a slower time of year early in the morning, you may want to think twice about late breakfast plans or eating at the hotel at all if you have a full day ahead of you.

At the end of your meal, just like at L’hôtel Le Germain Montréal, you can get up and leave. Ideally, you've already handed your coupon to the server when you sat down.

Lobby, Tunnel Connection to the Convention Center, Concierge, & City Tours

While the lobby of Hilton Québec City is mostly small and unimpressive, Justin and I really enjoyed the fact that there are underground passageways to get around the city and access shops and restaurants, if they are open as you head toward the Convention Center. Unfortunately, when we were there most underground locations were closed, but we did enjoy staying the tiniest bit warmer as we headed toward the Grande Allée for lunch on arrival day (not that we knew where we were going or how to get there).

We also found the concierge particularly helpful. On our first night at the bar, I saw an image on Instagram suggested that the ice hotel, Hotel de Glace, was already open, a week early. Given that I don't speak French, we decided to take up the situation with the hotel concierge. Namely, could he call to verify they were indeed open? And if so, did he have any suggestions on how we could get there?

As it turns out, Hilton Québec City works with other hotels to offer tours of various locations around the city. Our concierge did call to verify the ice hotel was open and then promptly booked us on a tour bus that would be departing at noon, promptly. He then gave us information about the city, told us we had more than enough time to explore and gave us a brochure with the information about our tour before sending us on our way.

While I will tell you more about Hotel de Glace in another post, I wanted to comment that we were told to be at Hilton Québec City at 11:45 AM sharp for bus boarding. Even though the Hilton didn't make it clear what would happen when the bus got there, it turns out, we were supposed to walk out and ask each bus driver in front of the hotel individually which bus was going to Hotel de Glace. (Confusing much?!) Just as we began to do that, one, in particular, stuck his head out of the bus asking if we were Justin and Mandy? We said yes, boarded, and he drove on to 3 or 4 various other hotels picking up guests before heading to our destination. The nice bit was that when it was time to head back from our destination, we ignored the call for our actual stop at the Hilton and continued on to Château Frontenac so we wouldn't have to walk to dinner. ;) Obviously, we would have to make the return walk to our hotel, but why not save our energy and time for later?

Check-Out

The third day in the city was our check-out day. We would be boarding the Via Canada rail system to return to Montreal where we would stay until new year's eve and it was time to return home.

Once again, we found ourselves in a line. (I think there is always a line at this hotel waiting to talk to the front desk staff.) Of course, after we got to the front, we were asked the typical questions "Did you enjoy your stay here? Do you want a receipt? Can we get you a cab?" … And then we were on our way…

Amenities

We didn't take advantage or check out any of the amenities while we were there including a heated pool, a fitness center, the executive lounge with a view (which we weren't invited to), or the business center. The hotel is supposedly pet-friendly, but we never saw any animals during our time there. They also offer laundry and dry cleaning as needed.

(If the .gif isn't working, right click and open in a new window to get a view of the sunrise we saw from our window!)

Overall Review

★★★ (average)

While I believe the hotel could be better located inside the city and closer to the review, the high location somewhat outside historic Québec City offers beautiful views and everything is within a decent walking distance. Our room and bathroom were large and comfortable, and the staff made us feel welcome. We enjoyed our free breakfasts and drinks and loved how easy the concierge was to work with.

My only complaints with the hotel (and these are somewhat nitpicky) is that:
1. The elevator should not shut on people! They could get hurt!
2. Due to its location, the hotel should offer an airport and/or train shuttle. They should also find a way to create more underground tunneling to various locations in Québec City. But of course that last one is more of a dream than a real possibility, and I'm only requesting it because of the snow and cold found there in the winter.
3. Why didn't I get access to the executive lounge with my diamond status? :(

So, would I go again and stay there?

ABSOLUTELY.

Obviously, my first choice will always be Château Frontenac, but given the price difference, the Hilton Québec City was a lovely place to stay. I truly felt like I got a lot for my money, which ultimately is what I am looking for when picking hotels anyway.

Your Turn

Have you ever been surprised by an upgrade or otherwise free "thing" when staying at a hotel? Did it make you think better of it? … If you were to be upgraded at a hotel, what would be something they included that would make you most happy? (Like free drinks, free dessert, free shuttle, free upgrade to a room with a view, etc…)
