Tribute Portfolio Hotels in Quebec City

The PUR Hotel Quebec is located off Charest Blvd, near Old Quebec. It's a less popular area yet features some great restaurants and boulangeries (bakeries) within walking distance on St. Joseph St. which runs adjacent to the Hotel. I recommend Tora Ya Ramen and Le Bureau De Poste. Also the Le Croquembouche boulangerie is a must visit (the pastries are amazing). Ok on to the Hotel: Our room was on the 16th floor and was very clean and modern. It was quite large and had big floor-length window that provided lots of natural light and an excellent view of St. Joseph St. - The king-size bed was a little soft, but quite comfortable with excellent down (or alternative-down) pillows - The desk was adequate size but I found the chair a little hard to sit on. Also, the desk light did not function, but the other room lights worked well and provided comfortable ambience. - There was a desk phone on one of the bed side tables. A nice feature that seems to be quickly disappearing form many hotels. - A wall-mounted 50 inch LG TV had a good channel selection compared to other hotels that I've stayed at in Quebec. - The outside of the closet door was covered in a great floor-length mirror. - The HVAC worked well with a quiet fan and the controls were easy to operate. Bathroom - I'm sure I'll sound crazy here but the bathroom HAS A DOOR, which, I assume due to recent design trends, seems to be missing in a lot of upscale hotels I've stayed in recently. - The vanity is a good size with lots of room for personal items and there are separate lighted areas for the vanity and shower/tub. - The sink had, in my opinion, an awkwardly located faucet at the side of the sink but it worked fine with good water pressure and the quick enough temperature change. - Under the vanity there was a hair dryer provided. - The shower/tub had a removable handheld shower mounted on a adjustable vertical tube which provided a good even spray with plenty of water pressure. The controls were pretty easy to use with separate dials for on/off/diverter and temperature control. Also the acrylic soaker tub was nice and deep. - The bathroom amenities were provided by Lockwood. The body wash, shampoo and conditioner were wall-mounted in the shower and were excellent. The hand/body lotion and soap located on the vanity were fantastic also. Lastly, I should point out that I found the towels to be soft and absorbent. I wouldn't exactly call them luxurious, but very close. Staff Staff were helpful and friendly and I received my room key in a short time. Restaurant - the hotel has a Van Houtte cafe and a restaurant but we did not eat at either location. TRAVEL TIP Hotel parking costs ~$27/day. Park across the street at the Indigo Public Parking for only $16/day
