If you want to stay in an historic building, this is it. If you want modern amenities, this is not it. If you want an elevator or level stairs, or someone at a desk to greet you, this is not it. If you want a more authentic Quebec experience, this is it. Stairs are steep, winding and uneven, it would be difficult with a suitcase. There are no working no outlets in the bedroom, but some in the bathroom. The pillows are flat and have no support. Very old building tilts and windows are single pane. I felt like I was back in time. Bedroom and bathroom are huge. Bed was very comfortable. The AC was modern and worked great. Large fridge and modern tea kettle. Staff is very responsive online. Fantastic location and, even though our room overlooked the street, it was very quiet. Would I stay again? Yes. Would I recommend? It depends on the traveler and their ability to climb the stairs.
