My daughter and I stayed at the Motel I’lle D’Orleans for 3 nights. When we arrived we found a note with our room number and a code to retrieve the key. The room itself is dimly lit, basic, a little outdated and the air conditioner needs some love (very noisy) but the room was clean and the beds were comfortable enough. It does have all the amenities you need; coffee maker, tv, WiFi mini fridge etc. There is a porch to sit just outside the door with an awesome view of Quebec City (all lit up at night)! We were on a quest to find our French Canadian ancestors who lived on the island around 1660. We took advantage of the e-bike rentals and rented them for two days. We needed to ride the bikes to the other end of the island and back (about 70km round trip 😳). Francois, the owner, was fantastic. He gave us plenty of tips on how to conserve our energy and the electricity on the bikes to get us there and back, told us about the road conditions. He also, gave us plenty of recommendations for stops along the way. The island itself is very peaceful and the locals were great. We found the church where our ancestor was likely buried, the plaque dedicated to him and lots of information in the St Famille of our ancestors! This was a very personal trip for me and Francois and his staff made us feel welcome! Would definitely stay here again.
